‘Placement Machines’
An Electronicstalk guide
Start with the news release Transducers suited to shock and vibration tests from RDP Electronics, which we summarised at the time by saying "Linear variable displacement transducers (LVDTs) from RDP Electronics are inherently robust and durable enough to meet the rigours of testing in situations generating vibration or shock. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Vandal-resistant switches enable access control from Bulgin Components: "Bulgin's MPI range of illuminated vandal-resistant switches are said to be ideal for access-control and door-entry applications.".
In December 2010, we covered the news from Gleichmann-Sunrise - take a look at Industrial display can be used in ticket machines which says: "Gleichmann is offering CMI's G154I1-LE1, a 15.4in (39.2cm) WXGA industrial display that is suitable for fields of application such as ticket machines, POS terminals and industrial controls.".
Take a look also at the news release from Kontron, Motherboard suits gaming and medical applications, as well as Rotary encoder for home and car multimedia systems from Knitter Switch, and Military connector production capacity expanded from PEI-Genesis.
