An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Micro stepper motors bring pictures into focus from
EMS, which we summarised at the time by saying "Electro Mechanical Systems has supplied Precistep micro-stepper motors to Life Optics to allow it to develop a compact, reliable and light-weight head-mounted microscope.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Verderflex Dura pump ensures bubble-free printing from
Verderflex: "Peterson Packaging, a Danish printing company, has selected the Verderflex Dura peristaltic pump to gently handle water-based ink.".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Q-Sys
- take a look at Q-Sys provides custom-designed motion systems
which says: "Q-Sys offers a complete design-and-build service for all types of precision motion and positioning systems. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Birchwood Casey, Birchwood sealants prevent rust and corrosion,
as well as Ricardo to help develop automatic transmission from Ricardo,
and Hepcomotion rings produced in dedicated cell from Hepcomotion.
