An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Safety relays simplify control-system design from Eaton Corp, which we summarised at the time by saying "Safety relays in the Eaton Moeller ESR5 range simplify the design and implementation of control systems that meet safety and reliability standards.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Split roller bearings used on colliery conveyors from Revolvo: "SRB Split Roller Bearings from Revolvo are being used at the Hatfield Colliery near Doncaster. ".
 
In November 2009, we covered the news from SICK (UK) - take a look at SICK to exhibit at manufacturing technology event which says: "SICK will use the upcoming Manufacturing Technology Scotland event on 11-12 November, which is to be held at the SECC in Glasgow, to further publicise its Industrial Instrumentation Division.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Parker Hannifin - Parker Sales UK, Nitrogen generators cut costs of food packaging, as well as SGS inspects storage tanks at refinery from SGS SA - Industrial Services, and Flexicon enhances range of compression fittings from Flexicon.
