An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Stage solutions incorporate Heidenhain encoders from
Heidenhain, which we summarised at the time by saying "Heidenhain absolute encoder technology is playing a key role in Stage Technologies' stage engineering automation solutions, which move sets, scenery, people and objects around accurately and safely.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release LE offers tacky, non-asphaltic synthetic lubricant from
Lubrication Engineers: "Lubrication Engineers (LE) has introduced the Wirelife Almasol Syn coating lubricant, a tacky, non-asphaltic synthetic lubricant with high film strength.".
In January 2010, we covered the news from Omron Scientific Technologies
- take a look at G9SX-SM monitors machines' standstill status
which says: "Omron Scientific Technologies has introduced the G9SX-SM Standstill Safety Monitoring Unit. ".
Take a look also at the news release from IFM Electronic, IFM releases O7 opto sensors for tight spots,
as well as Emerson enhances DeltaV digital automation system from Emerson Process Management,
