‘Workpieces’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
MGP cylinder series prevents actuator failures from
SMC Pneumatics (UK), which we summarised at the time by saying "SMC Pneumatics is offering the MGP cylinder series for customers experiencing actuator failures.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Schunk launches five-axis work-holding systems from
Schunk Intec: "Schunk Intec has developed a range of five-axis work-holding solutions that aim to improve machining efficiency and further enhance the capabilities of customers' machine tools.".
In October 2009, we covered the news from Schaeffler (UK)
- take a look at Schaeffler launches HLE hydrostatic linear guides
which says: "Schaeffler has developed the HLE range of hydrostatic linear guides that is said to combine good dampening characteristics with the compact dimensions of a profiled linear guide.".
Take a look also at the news release from Solartron Metrology, Solartron probe measures internal bore dimensions,
as well as Schunk launches wedge clamping element from Schunk Intec,
and SL-V safety light curtain has visible indicators from Keyence (UK).
