Dunlop Aviation Braking Systems are using engineering electronics information from Technical Indexes to maintain their technical and competitive edge in this highly specialised area of modern aerospace technology.
Dunlop is a name recognised throughout the world and, for over a century, has been associated with practically every major development in transportation.
From the earliest days, flying has made the most extreme demands on tyres, wheels and brakes and as aircraft have got bigger and faster, higher landing speeds and heavier payloads have multiplied the stress on every part of the landing gear, particularly the wheel and brake systems.
Dunlop Aviation Braking Systems has led the way in meeting this challenge with major innovations such as carbon brakes and anti-skid systems, with both relying on the latest technologies to deliver totally dependable and safe performance.
The company rely on two key products from Technical Indexes, Engineering Product Library (Electronic) and DATA PAL (Parametric Access Library). The EPL electronic section is the ideal reference tool for specifiers of electronic components, offering the most comprehensive collection of such data on the market. It contains over half-a-million scanned pages of catalogues from over 4,000 manufacturers and suppliers, with information covering active and passive components, hardware, test and measuring equipment and power sources.
As an up-to the minute reference tool it is unbeatable, enabling engineers to identify and source components, equipment and material suppliers and immediately view selected pages on their PC screen. The Technical Indexes DATA PAL database meanwhile delivers complementary information on integrated circuits, discrete semiconductors and replacement series/discontinued devices.
Dunlop Aviation Braking Systems Project Engineer (Electronics), Tony Fenton, based at the company’s Coventry headquarters, said: "Although our braking systems are hydraulically operated, they are activated by an electronic control box. Having up-to-date electronic engineering information in CD-ROM format from Technical Indexes provides us with instant access to the data we need.
We use their CD-ROMs as a general reference tool on a stand alone PC, and find them ideal for our design engineers and procurement department to identify and source electronic components."
Technical Indexes is a leading provider of comprehensive, technical data, standards, regulations, product and supplier information to commerce and industry world-wide. The only company of its type with ISO 9002 quality accreditation, more than 6,000 customers in the UK alone retain their competitive edge by referring to the several million pages of vital information supplied by ti.
