    The New RTM Technology From FMS


    The world’s first tension measurement and control system for rotary applications that works without slip rings. Highlights of the RTM system:

  • Wireless, interference-free transfer of measurement signals
  • Precise, consistent monitoring of all tension data relevant to production
  • Visualization and synchronization of tension data to the product by running length
  • Superior process and product quality at reduced cost
  • Increased machine productivity yields faster return on investment
  • RTM Radio Transmitted Tension Monitoring System for Rotating Machinery Applications


    The FMS radio transmitted tension monitoring system (RTM) is designed to monitor tension of individual wires or cables in rotating applications. This system sends all the collected data via radio transmission. The RTM system is a complete tension monitoring package designed to easily retrofit onto older machines. It is ideal for upgrading existing machinery to current tension measuring technology.

    Features

    Bluetooth® transmission in 2.4GHz band

    Battery powered transmitter PC based software system
     
    Packaged to easily install and set-up

     
    Advantages

    Very high quality data transmission
     
    No slip rings required

    Monitor, output, and save tension process data

    Requires no major machine modifications

    Everything under control   ....   The safe way

    FLURO Celebrates 30 Years of Manufacture

    CGB Precision Products would like to congratulate FLURO-Gelenklager GmbH on celebrating 30 years as one of Europe 's premier spherical and rod end manufacturers.

    Founded in 1976 by Martin Hohn, FLURO Gelenklager GmbH (FLURO Rod Ends/Spherical Plain Bearings Ltd.) manufactures a range of spherical and rod-end bearings, including maintenance free and stainless steel to European specifications.

    Included in this range is its MS special series designed for motor sport applications that provides maintenance free, tight ball fit and high polished plating finish for that showroom presentation. A mid-size company with a strong family involvement allows high flexibility and a genuine commitment to quality production. This is all in conjunction with a true effort to achieve complete customer satisfaction.

    Deakin University's 2008 SAE Formula Challenge    


    CGB is again proud to sponsor Deakin University's 2008 SAE Formula Challenge.

    Formula SAE is for students to conceive, design, fabricate and compete with small formula-style racing cars. The purpose of the competition is for the students to assume that a manufacturing firm has engaged them to produce a prototype car complete with marketing and manufacturing plan.

    This is the sixth year CGB has provided sponsorship by supplying FLURO rod ends and spherical bearings for all suspension components.

    Good luck from the staff and management at CGB..
