‘Rotary Stages’

A Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Bevel helical gearboxes take to the bridge from Bonfiglioli UK Industrial Solutions, which we summarised at the time by saying "Synchronised sets of Bonfiglioli industrial gearboxes are being used on Sydney's Harbour Bridge to drive two 60-tonne workmen's gantries. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Boge and FS-Elliott to supply Turbo compressors from Boge Compressors: "Boge has announced a strategic alliance with FS-Elliott to deliver its range of Turbo compressors exclusively throughout Europe. ".
 
In November 2008, we covered the news from Unison - take a look at Tube bender helps BAE systems build sub which says: "A Unison tube bending machine is helping BAE Systems to fabricate complex part shapes required to build the UK's Astute Class nuclear-powered submarines. ".
 
Take a look also at the news release from PPT Vision, PPT Vision introduces Sentinel mould protector, as well as Solaroptimus increases solar energy by 30 per cent from Igus UK, and Interface introduces rotary torque transducer from Interface Force Measurements.
