An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Laser Design system checks injection mould tooling from
Laser Design, which we summarised at the time by saying "Laser Design has announced that Schneider Electric recently installed a Laser Design Faro arm laser scanning system in its Cedar Rapids, Iowa facility. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Birchwood sealants prevent rust and corrosion from
Birchwood Casey: "Birchwood Casey offers a full line of eight different aqueous and solvent-based inhibitors and sealants to prevent rust and corrosion on all metal surfaces. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from SGS SA - Industrial Services
- take a look at SGS offers acoustic emission testing package
which says: "SGS is offering an acoustic emission testing (AET) package, which allows users to locate structural defects and to monitor the material for discontinuities.".
Take a look also at the news release from NVision, Mobilescan HD helps gun grip maker improve quality,
as well as Wheelabrator newsletter has global-aerospace focus from Wheelabrator Group,
and Brochure details surface preparation for Shipyards from Wheelabrator Group.
