Cluster support in the EU is being subject of several professional papers at European Commission level. It mostly have the character of strategic plans of support policy formulation or professional working documents. The European Union also supports the exchange of information processing and technical analysis through support associations to develop clusters. The most important is the establishment of European Cluster Observatory (ECO) in the INNO initiative, which making the analysis of clusters in the EU and policy analysis to support clusters. In 2008, the European Commission established the European Cluster Policy Group, in order to promote the emergence of more global clusters in the EU, examine tools to remove obstacles to cluster cooperation, identify future challenges for cluster policies in response to globalization.
The new FLIR Ex-Series of entry-level thermal imaging cameras far exceed the capability of other brands in many ways. These are true thermal imaging cameras, not instruments that simply take spot temperature measurements or use blended techniques. And they are packed with a variety of features that have never before been seen in this class of camera.
The most important of these features is FLIR Systems’ patented MSX-technology that provides exceptional image quality in real time. This results in pin-sharp thermal images, quicker target orientation and clean reports. This technology was previously only available on models in the FLIR T-Series and above, but now it is also included on all of the four new cameras in the FLIR Ex-Series.
The iMX series is a revolutionary end mill system that combines the advantages of both solid carbide and indexable end mills. Huge performance advantages and savings can be gained especially when long overhang applications are required. The high cost of extra long solid carbide end mills is negated by using exchangeable heads.
MAPAL has achieved a breakthrough in the field of fine boring tools with insert that significantly increases the costeffectiveness of the tools.
The KOMET GROUP presents the KOMET hi.aeQ high-performance facing arbor milling cutter for the first time at the EMO 2013. It is outstandingly suitable for reliably shoulder and face milling cast iron workpieces.
Many of you know CERN as the place where scientists “play with black holes” and neutrinos are faster than light. This is not entirely the truth, scientists really play around (do science) but, rather than space phenomena, their tools are machines build from cutting edge technologies and of course work pace is at sub-light speed. Engineers, who develop machines like the LHC, must be precise, flexible and in the same time efficient. They have to rely on systems which can be stable and loss of data is very rare.
