We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "VAC",
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 Vertical machining centres cut patterns from
Haas Automation, which we summarised at the time by saying "Producer of low volume reaction injection moulded parts and polyurethane castings uses five vertical machining centres to cut master pattern equipment from polyurethane tooling board".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release RP/RM firm expands vacuum casting capacity from
Paragon Rapid Technologies: "Rapid prototyping/manufacturing firm has invested in an extension chamber for its vacuum casting machine enabling it to produce parts up to 1720mm x 820mm x 450mm and weighing up to 5kg".
In September 2007, we covered the news from ICM Controls
concerning its Universal Motor Starting Relays
- take a look at Universal Motor Starting Relays for 110-502 VAC
which says: "A wire-for-wire replacement for all standard Potential Relays operating a single-phase motor with a voltage range of 110-502 VAC is ICM's new Universal Motor Starting Relays".
Take a look also at the news release from BuckHickman InOne, Ergonomic air tools reduce RSI risk,
as well as Small connectors provide up to 15 amps of current from Turck,
and Safety standard of LEDs in North America from UL International (UK).
