Plug-in memory gives PLC power
Article Abstract:
The Commander Simple and Kompact (SK) series of drives from Control Techniques can be programmed or given PLC functionality by plugging in memory devices, similar in appearance to USB memory sticks, but with more advanced technology. The use of a 'logic-stick' does away with the need for 'nano' and 'micro' PLCs or relays and timers, to perform sequenced operations.

Variable collets extract all bushes
Article Abstract:
A variable collet, made from a chain of interlocking elements to form partly collapsible rings of any size, is being used to achieve the damage free removal of a wide range of interference fit bearings and bushes. Key to the patented 'bushout' system is a modular asymmetric element, a thin sandwich of metal, neoprene and metal.
