Precision engineering company Acro has announced that it is now able to produce bespoke heatsinks for electronic and electrical systems using its computer-aided 3D machining technology.
Using SolidCAM technology to drive a vertical machining centre, Acro have been able to produce highly complex heatsinks for use in military RF electronic systems. Using aerospace grade materials the heatsinks are machined using data direct from their client´s computer-aided-design software.
"These heatsinks are very intricate designs that have to be machined to very high tolerances," said Fred Pain, General Manager at Acro. "Once again we are very pleased with our investment in the 3D machining capability. It would be very difficult and costly to undertake this project using tradition...

UK Embedded Masterclass 2009
UK Embedded Systems Event On Track for Further Success
The Embedded Masterclass 2009 looks set for success as both delegate numbers and exhibitors are on target to increase on previous years. This year´s event includes participation from major players such as Intel, IBM...
The Embedded Masterclass is a combination of technical workshops, presentations of leading edge technology and an exhibition of many of the world´s leading vendors of tools and technologies for the development of `embedded systems´. Such embedded systems include mobile phones, SatNavs, medical equipment, automotive control systems, air traffic control systems and even washing machines and microwaves.
"The term `embedded´ comes from the fact that there is a microprocessor `embedded´ in the circuitry of these types of systems," said Richard Blackburn, the organiser of the event. "The UK is a world leader in this field and this event gives engineers the chance to learn about the new tools and technologies that are available to help them develop their n...

PragmaDev
PragmaDev introduces testing and prototyping in its model driven development tool.
PragmaDev launches RTDS V4.0, the new release of its model driven development tool dedicated to real time and embedded software based on international standards....
Real Time Developer Studio 4.0 introduces more than 20 new features making it the most complete model driven development tool dedicated to real time and embedded applications.
Among the main new features are:
Testing
RTDS now supports standard testing TTCN-3 core language. Test suites can be simulated against the model with the same level of debug. Breakpoints and steps can be done in the model or in the test suite. The verdicts are displayed in the execution trace.
Prototyping interface
A prototyping interface can be designed within the tool and is automatically connected to the simulator or the debugger. This eases model testing and can be used for model validation.
Built-in scheduler
Part or all of the system can be executed in a singl...
