‘Stainless Steel Housing’

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 Thermometers feature advanced signal processing from Ircon: "Ircon has introduced the Modline 6 Series of infrared thermometers with advanced signal processing and background-reflected energy compensation capabilities. ".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Sherborne Sensors - take a look at Sherborne announces MEMS inclinometers which says: "Sherborne Sensors has announced the launch of the T700 series, a high-precision range of compact, DC-operated solid-state MEMS inclinometers. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Birchwood Casey, Birchwood sealants prevent rust and corrosion, as well as Actuator system for sampling applications from Heason Technology, and PCB sensor measures internal ballistics of guns from PCB Piezotronics.
