An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Compact Plus coupling fits into a small envelope from
Schmidt-Kupplung, which we summarised at the time by saying "Schmidt-Kupplung's Semiflex Compact Plus range features a compact design and functional attributes that allow integration into tight spaces in conjunction with parallel shift options. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release OCR Reader reads 100 characters per scan from
Wenglor Sensoric: "Wenglor has introduced the tiny OCR Reader, which automatically recognises characters.".
In July 2009, we covered the news from GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms UK
- take a look at GE Fanuc releases RTU version of PAC8000
which says: "GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms has introduced the PAC8000 RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) Controller, a rugged, field-mountable platform. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Saft Industrial Batteries, Saft presents battery technologies at EP Shanghai,
as well as Same-day assembly extended to Nordbloc 1 motors from Nord Drivesystems,
and SK 200E frequency inverter range launched by Nord from Nord Drivesystems.
