Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Measuring system integrated for linear guides from
Bosch Rexroth, which we summarised at the time by saying "An integrated measuring system for linear guides now has adaptors for use with roller rail systems and they meet IP 67 requirements for harsh machine tool areas".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Digital interface valve enhances roll levelling from
Moog Controls: "A machine that levels coiled high strength low carbon steel strip has a hydraulic digital interface valve to individually control seven levelling roll positioning axes and improve levelling quality".
In July 2007, we covered the news from Infor
concerning its ERP COM integrated ERP software
- take a look at ERP system helps manage complex fabrication
which says: "In a highly customised, complex market for bended wire and strip parts assemblies, an ERP system is now aiding a fabricator to efficiently run 'end-to-end' manufacturing planning and execution".
Take a look also at the news release from MEPS (International), Chinese tax levy brings down steel strip prices,
as well as Transicon control system assists Steel and Allow from Transicon,
