‘Safety Regulations’
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 Nitrogen generators cut costs of food packaging from
Parker Hannifin - Parker Sales UK: "Phil Green, at Parker Hannifin's industrial division, explains how the latest nitrogen-generation technology can help food and beverage companies increase their operational efficiency and cut costs. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from SGS SA - Industrial Services
- take a look at SGS inspects storage tanks at refinery
which says: "SGS Colombia SA has performed storage tank inspections for the expansion of the Cartagena Refinery. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Exide Technologies, JTT uses Exide gel batteries and SP chargers,
as well as F1 car features parts produced using Objet printer from Objet Geometries Europe,
and Carlo Gavazzi launches RSBT-type 15kW soft starter from Carlo Gavazzi.
