‘Safety Testing’
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 Liquid pumps designed for oil, water and chemicals from
Autoclave Engineers: "Autoclave Engineers has designed a group of air-driven, positive-displacement, high-pressure liquid pumps for service with oil, water and chemicals. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Parker Hannifin - Parker Sales UK
- take a look at Nitrogen generators cut costs of food packaging
which says: "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. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Kistler Instruments, Kistler offers sensitive and robust torque sensors,
as well as Pam-Comfort helps Renault design new seat from ESI Group,
and Accelerometers obtain hazardous-area certification from Wilcoxon Research.
