‘Surface Finish’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Same-day assembly extended to Nordbloc 1 motors from
Nord Drivesystems, which we summarised at the time by saying "Nord Gear has added a further production line at its Abingdon-based assembly and service facility, expanding its same-day assembly service to Nordbloc 1 series gear motors.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Tank-cleaning rotary spray ball for CIP tasks from
Bete: "Bete has added the Orbitor - a compact and versatile tank-cleaning rotary spray ball - to its range.".
In July 2009, we covered the news from Schmitt Europe
- take a look at Lambert fits Schmitt AEMS into Bryant grinder
which says: "Lambert recently won an order to rebuild a Bryant grinding machine for Revolvo, a midlands-based manufacturer of large and split bearings. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Senseor, Senseor introduces wireless temperature sensors,
as well as Load cell measures small forces in deep water from Novatech Measurements,
and Barden manufactures cylindrical roller bearings from Barden Corporation.
