We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Braking Systems",
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 Torque tubes forged for aircraft brakes from
Doncasters Group, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Doncasters Group has been selected by Dunlop Aerospace Braking Systems, a division of Meggitt, to manufacture torque tubes for the Embraer Phenom 300 aircraft programme".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Mill-turn flexibility frees up machining centres from
Mori Seiki UK: "The flexibility offered by a mill-turn centre has enabled a machinist of complex parts to review methods and transfer work from machining centres and reduce cycle times".
In October 2006, we covered the news from Boge Compressors
concerning its Compressed air system audit service
- take a look at Energy efficient compressed air system set up
which says: "Manufacturer of aerospace braking systems has reduced its compressed air energy consumption by almost 30% after carrying out recommendations of an compressed air audit survey".
Take a look also at the news release from MAS-East, MAS aid helps investment casting foundry to expand,
as well as Forming handling solutions at Peri from Linde Material Handling UK,
and Water-based concentrate cleans efficiently from MacDermid.
