WOLFSCHLUGEN, GERMANY – Thomson, a provider of
innovative linear drive and ?guidance systems, provides a new app on its
website. The "EngineersCALC" application contains four different,
frequently used calculation programs that support machine and
positioning system designers and engineers in their daily work.
EngineersCALC allows users to quickly convert figures from one unit of
measurement to another, determine the inertia of bodies with simple
shapes, calculate the density of various materials and look up commonly
used trigonometry and calculation functions. The app impresses with its
powerful and thereby fast calculation speed, as well as its highly
intuitive and user-friendly interface. It allows users of smartphones to
carry a valuable planning tool with them wherever they go - not just in
the office, but also in the field, for example in a test lab or a model
workshop. EngineersCALC also allows users to save their calculations or
forward them to colleagues quickly and easily using the integrated
e-mail and message module.
EngineersCALC is currently available for the Apple iPhone, iPad
and iTouch, as well as for Android and Blackberry smartphones. Thomson
also offers a free-of-charge desktop version of the application. This
practical "Motion Engineer's Toolbar" can be integrated in the Windows
taskbar, allowing it to be displayed whenever needed and then easily
hidden again. It is compatible with the Windows 2000, Windows XP,
Windows Vista and Windows 7.0 operating systems.
