with Seba KMT GmbH, GE Programma, Lemke, Diagnostics to Flir, GE Syprotech, Lindsey, B&K Vibro, Vision Engineering and Piller(RWE). These, in their respective cubbyholes, are frontrunners and pacesetters. Another such golden handshake, one with B&K Vibro of Germany, is for online and offline condition monitoring and vibration monitoring systems for rotating machines and portable multichannel data loggers. With the French Catu, the linkup is for electrical safety equipment and online HV detectors with Flir is for thermography for power industry and several other vital areas including research and development.
   To elaborate further, the Edgucumbe of England tie-up is for insulation and earth resistance testers, one with Electro

Industries Gauge Tech of the United States for high accuracy energy meters with unique inbuilt quality check and communication features. Adding to this listing, is the German HCK for oil breakdown voltage testing equipment, High-Volt for extra high voltage testing equipment, TWI of the States for non destructive testing by infrared thermal wave imaging technology, the Swedish Unipower for power and disturbance analysers, and the South African Xamas for on-line moisture management systems for power transformers and corona detection cameras.
   The PCB assembly and testing division of PCI is partners-in-arms with European and American concerns such as Fine tech of Germany for infrared based fine placement and rework stations. Vision Engg. Ltd. of England

teams up with Primers for SMD inspection systems, stereo zoom microscopes, metrological systems like hawk inspection and non-contact measuring systems. Paggen Werkzeugtechnik Gumbo of Germany pools in its expertise for SMD rework station solder pots. That with Ren Thang Co. Ltd. of Taiwan is for component forming machines, is another technology sharing treaty.
   The machine tools and systems division too, like its sister nerve centers, has a string of foreign symbiotic relationships. The one with RAS Reinhardt Maschinebau GmbH is for CNC sheet metal cutting, folding and forming machines; with FUCO Maschinebau GmbH for industrial washing and cleaning machines; with Spacetec Datengewinnung GmbH for laser scanner thermal imaging and
