We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Accurate Measurement",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release DROs improve rotary table efficiency from
ACI (UK), which we summarised at the time by saying "The use of digital readout systems is playing a key role in enabling a tooling manufacturer to maintain its worldwide reputation for the supply of high precision rotary tables".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Electrical test equipment UK agent appointed from
Hiawatha Rubber Company: "UK distributor agreement covers an extensive range of three-phase analysers and a set of measurement devices to ensure compliance with the 16th Edition of IEE Wiring Regulations".
In October 2007, we covered the news from Yokogawa Europe - Test and Measurement
concerning its Multi-channel source/measure unit
- take a look at Multi-channel source/measure unit is speedy
which says: "A multi-channel source/measure unit from Yokogawa, the GS820, is a programmable DC voltage and current generator capable of high-speed and highly accurate voltage and current measurement".
Take a look also at the news release from Quality Gauging Systems, Laser gauge cuts fuselage measurement time,
as well as 'Go/no-go' component inspection made easy from ACI (UK),
and PCB etching and custom-built EMC test chamber from Anglia.
