We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Variable Speed Control",
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 Multihead machines polish many flat parts from
Surtech Surface Technology Products, which we summarised at the time by saying "For polishing large amounts of flat parts such as sheet, strip, extrusions and hollow sections, a multihead machine can comfortably manage the surface area that requires
polishing".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Economic electonic fans vary air flow from
Air Control Industries: "Electronically contolled fans are driven by 'intelligent' electric motors that accept feedback heat, pressure and humidity sensors to adjust air flow as required".
In June 2007, we covered the news from Unimatic Engineers
concerning its Laser cutter and marking
- take a look at Laser cutting and marking machines for students
which says: "Unimatic Engineers has supplied eduCAM high-speed laser cutting and marking machines to provide a 'real world' experience for design and technology students".
Take a look also at the news release from Sidetracker Engineering, Compact high-capacity electric reach trucks,
as well as Easy-to-operate, flexible fork lift from Logitrans UK,
and Cranes and hoists for engineering firm from Konecranes (UK).
