‘Variable Speed Control’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Safety relays simplify control-system design from
Eaton Corp, which we summarised at the time by saying "Safety relays in the Eaton Moeller ESR5 range simplify the design and implementation of control systems that meet safety and reliability standards.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release SDI torque pickup has internal digital data link from
Sensor Developments: "SDI's model 01424 can be utilised with a variety of instrumentation systems to measure rotating torque, including the 90386 USB Sensor Link. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Riley Industries
- take a look at Riley to distribute pressure-fed shot blasting
which says: "Riley Surface World has announced an agreement with Contracor to distribute its range of pressure-fed shot blasting systems in the UK. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Parker Hannifin - Parker Sales UK, Parker team to develop wind-energy technology,
as well as Liquid pumps designed for oil, water and chemicals from Autoclave Engineers,
and SICK to exhibit at manufacturing technology event from SICK (UK).
