Electrodeposited metal bellows come to the UK
Abssac now supports the full range of unique electrodeposited metal bellows and electroformed products available from the Servometer Corp as its newly appointed sole UK distributor.
Although designed for installation on stand-alone PCs, the product guide can be installed onto central server networks, enabling larger companies to make it available to everyone in their organisation.
The guide is available on CD-ROM or can be downloaded from the TR Fastenings website.
Nick Gordon, Design Engineer at Ford Motor Company, gave TR's Marketing Department invaluable assistance during the development of the guide.
Gordon says: "Companies often overlook the importance of fasteners.
Ensuring the right fasteners are specified at the design stage can save so much trouble later on.
This is where TR's product guide is a real asset.
Its intuitive interface allows engineers to get the information they need quickly".
Keith Gibb, TR's Marketing Manager added: "Nick was part of our beta test programme and his comments and suggestions really helped shape the guide.
His input ensured we looked at the whole project from the designer's point of view".
