We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Pneumatics",
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 Do not take compressed air for granted from
LANS Company, which we summarised at the time by saying "Without proper compressor technology, plants face premature failures, high maintenance costs, additional compressor unit purchases and exorbitant downtime, writes Ed Sullivan".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Horizontal machining centre has twin spindles from
Emag UK: "To minimises costs in the high-productivity machining of steel and cast iron workpieces, a twin-spindle hoizontal machining centre is designed for 3- and 4-axis production work".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Baldor UK
concerning its Dodge Grip Tight ball bearing
- take a look at Ball bearing systems changed over easily
which says: "An adapter-mounted ball bearing system's reliability and easy-change system has cut costs on maintaining tyre shredding machines at a leading UK tyre recycler".
Take a look also at the news release from Gleason Corporation, Hobbing machine cuts gears without coolant,
as well as Stretch wrapping reduces costs with automation from Lantech,
and Motion and control technology moves to Warwick, UK from Parker Hannifin - SSD.
