We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Data Logging",
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 One unit controls robot and welding from
ICS Robotics and Automation, which we summarised at the time by saying "Embedded arc control technology used in robotic welding eliminates the need for three separate control systems and combines control of the robot, welder and servo wire feeder
into a single unit".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Sealing products and services combined in UK from
Wyko, an Eriks Company: "Eriks Sealing Technology combines WYKO's established seals business in the UK, which includes the Seals division based in Halesowen, and Pioneer Weston in Warrington".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Vergason Technology
concerning its Press-Side family of Rapid Cycle Metalizers
- take a look at Midsized metalizer offers fast cycle times
which says: "Users of a modular metallising system for coating plastics can choose between sputtering, thermal evaporation, or CatArc cathodic arc for rapid cycling and higher quality".
Take a look also at the news release from IBS Precision Engineering, Gauge measures single or multi-layer laminates,
as well as Large gantry robot welds railroad cars from Motoman Robotics (UK),
and DROs improve rotary table efficiency from ACI (UK).
