‘Sheet Metal’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Saft presents battery technologies at EP Shanghai from Saft Industrial Batteries, which we summarised at the time by saying "Saft is showing its portfolio of battery technologies developed to meet the specific needs of renewable energy applications for efficient and reliable energy storage solutions. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Monitoring corrosion with digital radiography from SGS SA - Industrial Services: "SGS offers digital radiography combined with other non-destructive testing (NDT) methods ranging from standard to advanced NDT services.".

In July 2009, we covered the news from Precision Micro - take a look at Laser direct imaging speeds processes which says: "Precision Micro has announced that it is using laser direct imaging (LDI) to manufacture shims to a specific thickness or washers to precise dimensions for customers.".

Take a look also at the news release from Parker Hannifin - Parker Sales UK, Parker announces Par<>Fit filter elements, as well as OP sensors precisely detect parts from IFM Electronic, and ESAB releases latest edition of Svetsaren journal from ESAB.
