An Electronicstalk guide
Start with the news release
Aerco supplies cable-marking system from
Aerco, which we summarised at the time by saying "Aerco has announced it is now able to supply Tips (Thermal Identification Printing System) - a computer-generated cable-marking system from Hellermann Tyton.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Adept unveils circuit board and design system from
Adept Scientific: "Adept Scientific has announced the release of the Easy-PC Version 13 printed circuit board (PCB) and schematic design system.".
In March 2009, we covered the news from Brady
- take a look at Thermal printer is compact and efficient
which says: "Brady has launched the BBP11, a small and efficient thermal printer that combine good printing quality with high-speed output. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Extech Instruments, Direct thermal printer is rugged and lightweight,
as well as Module takes the RF expertise out of ID from Murata Electronics (UK),
and Safety tester checks PCB compliance from Clare Instruments.
