‘Technology Transfer’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release SKF units improve continuous-cast milling from SKF UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "Two SKF solutions have been developed to deliver benefits to continuous casting mills. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Parker team to develop wind-energy technology from Parker Hannifin - Parker Sales UK: "Parker Hannifin has expanded its range of products, systems and customer services in the power sector. ".

In November 2009, we covered the news from SICK (UK) - take a look at SICK to exhibit at manufacturing technology event which says: "SICK will use the upcoming Manufacturing Technology Scotland event on 11-12 November, which is to be held at the SECC in Glasgow, to further publicise its Industrial Instrumentation Division.".

Take a look also at the news release from SKS Engineering, SKS to distribute XYZ machines tools in Scotland, as well as Nitrogen generators cut costs of food packaging from Parker Hannifin - Parker Sales UK, and EDTC to provide support for engineering ideas from EDTC Technology Gateway.
