We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "PAT (portable appliance testing)",
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 CNC sliding head automatic machines specials from
NC Engineering, which we summarised at the time by saying "Use of a CNC sliding head automatic lathe is being used by a medical instrumentation firm to develop components as well as machine special tooling and cutting accessories for surgeons".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Lift truck distributor gains honours from
Crown Lift Trucks: "Crown Equipment has awarded its distributor Crown Lift Trucks the James F Dicke Pioneer award in appreciation of their service to Crown".
In June 2007, we covered the news from Malvern Instruments
- take a look at Web seminar on particle size analysis and PAT
which says: "Malvern Instruments will be hosting a web seminar discussing PAT and on-line particle size analysis for pharmaceutical manufacturing on the 11th July, 2007".
Take a look also at the news release from Wax Digital, Irish office for Wax Digital,
as well as Hydraulics company wins stockist of the year award from Festo,
and Grinding machine for steering shaft features from Anca Pty.
