We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Ambient Conditions",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Lean manufacturing boosts turbocharger output from
Doncasters Group, which we summarised at the time by saying "A manufacturer of turbocharger wheels reports that lean manufacturing initiatives have improved efficiency and working conditions as well as the business' environmental footprint".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Laser interferometer upgrades calibration service from
Renishaw: "A calibration service company has recently upgraded its laser calibration system with a laser interferometer, which minimises transportation and set-up times".
In August 2007, we covered the news from Wittmann UK
concerning its Robots, automation systems
- take a look at Plastics moulding includes gravimetric blending
which says: "Provider of plastics manufacturing equipment will be showing robots, automation systems, in-mould labelling as well as granulators, material handling and gravimetric blending".
Take a look also at the news release from DLoG (UK), Industial terminals maker appoints CEO,
as well as Clevis with corresponding mating piece from mbo Osswald GmbH,
and Printed electronics Awards winners named from IDTechEx.
