This week sees the launch of an exciting new free-to-enter design competition
which we're delighted to promote on behalf of our friends at IGUS. It's well
worth entering, not just for the kudos, but also for the cash prizes, because
the winner will walk away with a cheque for £1000.

In the Manus Contest, IGUS is looking for original applications using plastic
plain bearings in creative, ingenious ways to obtain technical and economic
efficiency.

There are entry forms available on line at http://www.manus-igus.co.uk
or you can call Matthew Aldridge or Nikki Groom on +44 (0) 1604 490000.

When you submit your entries, please include any supplementary information
(such as data sheets, diagrams, pieces of hardware) - anything that will help
the judges understand what your idea is all about. And those judges do
include our own managing editor Andy Pye.

The closing date for entries is 31 August 2004 and after that the judging
panel will go into secret session prior to the winners being announced at
a special presentation in Northampton which is scheduled for 15 September.

Please note that the competition isn't limited to applications using IGUS
products, but is is only open to readers in the UK and Eire. That said,
similar competitions have run, are in progress or are in the pipeline in other
territories, so please keep an eye on the IGUS web sites for more details.

I hope you find this issue of our weekly newsletter useful. In addition to
the new products, news and ideas featured here, there are hundreds more on
our website and dozens more being added daily, so do take a look if you can.
Alternatively, the full stories behind all the summaries and headlines in
this newsletter can be retrieved by email alone: see details below.
In the meantime, if you have any suggestions as to how we might make the
site or the newsletter better, email me directly.

Best wishes

OUR TOP TEN NEW PRODUCTS SELECTION
=======================================================
[1] ADVANCED DESIGN ANALYSIS ENTERS THE MAINSTREAM
(SolidWorks Corporation, 14 June 2004)

Cosmos 2005 is billed as the first product group to put advanced design
analysis capabilities such as nonlinear analysis and drop testing into an
affordable, easy-to-use mainstream application. Cosmos 2005 also includes
more than 100 user-driven enhancements that make sophisticated design
analysis easy for virtually every person in product development, regardless
of their technical expertise. The entire Cosmos product line - CosmosWorks,
CosmosFloWorks, and CosmosMotion - has been upgraded for 2005. In addition
to the new simulation capabilities, the three Cosmos applications feature
updated interfaces, simplified analysis processes, and tighter integration
with SolidWorks 3D mechanical design software.

[2] SCREW JACK SYSTEM IS SMALLER AND STRONGER
(Hepco Slide Systems, 15 June 2004)

The HepcoMotion-ZIMM screw jack building block system has not just been
expanded, it has been completely reviewed to include a higher order of
technical innovation. Its application potential as a result, has
substantially increased. The system is more compact, yet it carries higher
loads. As well as a greater choice of standard screw jack body sizes,
aluminium, stainless steel, plated or specialist bodies can be specified.

[3] REGULATORS TAKE CONTROL OF HYDRAULIC FLUID FLOW
(Sterling Hydraulics, 17 June 2004)

The JP02C range of two-port proportional flow regulators provides precise
electrical control of hydraulic fluid flow at pressures up to 210bar. As the
UK's leading designer and manufacturer of hydraulic cartridge valves,
Sterling Hydraulics' products are used in a wide range of applications
including construction and earth moving equipment, agricultural and forestry
machines, mining equipment and industrial machinery. Where control of fluid
flow is required, the two-way, pressure compensated JP02C spool type
solenoid valves provide a regulated flow that is proportional to the input
solenoid current, and is also virtually independent of fluctuations in the
load or changes to the input.

[4] PRESSURE-EQUALISATION SYSTEM KEEPS GEARBOXES DRY
(Boston Gear, 15 June 2004)

The PosiVent is a novel pressure-equalisation system designed to keep water,
washdown solution and other airborne contaminants out of gearboxes in food
processing and material handling applications. With this patent-pending
design, gearbox failure associated with contaminants such as bakery dust
entering and breaking down lubricants and causing premature failure is
prevented, ultimately increasing performance. The system is now available as
an option on all Boston Gear 700 Series speed reducers.

[5] MULTIFUNCTION TESTER CHECKS PHASE ROTATION
(Fluke (UK), 11 June 2004)

The rugged Fluke/Robin 1650 Series of multifunction testers offer increased
productivity for electricians and test engineers involved with fixed
electrical installations in domestic, commercial and industrial premises.
Both Fluke's latest multifunction testers the 1652 and 1653 verify
conformity with the 16th Edition IEE Wiring Regulations all in one
instrument however, the 1653 additionally offers a phase rotation test, PC
download capability and earth electrode test.

[6] VALVE SPRING STEEL PASSES THE TEST
(Corus, 15 June 2004)

The first fatigue tests of the most performance-critical grade of steel yet
to be produced by Corus have been successful. The new grade of steel has
been manufactured to meet the stringent quality requirements of valve
springs. These components, used in vehicle engines, are in constant motion
when in use, making them one of the most demanding applications for any
steel. Around 80kt of rod a year goes into this market, but very few
manufacturers can supply steel of the required quality.

[7] SOFTWARE MAKES MORE SENSE OF MEASURED DATA
(Vision Engineering, 15 June 2004)

KestrelFit is a new software package that further enhances the capabilities
of the successful Kestrel two-axis noncontact measuring system. KestrelFit
fills the gap between low-cost shop floor gauging systems and top-end video
measurement machines. Where the standard Kestrel configuration will allow
for accurate gauging and pass/fail results to be simply generated,
KestrelFit expands on these capabilities considerably, providing a much
higher level of reporting and result analysis.

(Advantech, 15 June 2004)

The ES-200-77 is an Intel Pentium III based open-frame micro box PC which
integrates Advantech's 5.25in PCM-9577 SBC into a stylish, compact and
easy-to-integrate chassis. Designed to meet the increasing demands of system
integrators needing more flexible and cost-competitive integration options,
the powerful Intel Pentium III CPU and Via Twister chipset bring the most
demanding applications to life without sacrificing industrial proven
reliability critical to the open-frame PC application market.
