We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Measurement Accuracy",
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 Tool-setting system made for mill-turn centres from
Blum Novotest, which we summarised at the time by saying "Laser-based, non-contact, tool setting system measures rotating tools as well as the mechanically measuring non-rotating tools in five approach directions".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Easy-to-Use 6GHz meter is USB-controlled from
National Instruments: "Combining measurement accuracy with small size, an easy-to-use 6GHz meter provides a highly flexible device for automated test, measurement and monitoring applications".
In December 2007, we covered the news from Blum Novotest
concerning its Touch Probe
- take a look at Probe offers multi direction measurement
which says: "A touch probe for turning centres and round work applications houses a measuring mechanism with face gear that significantly increases measurement accuracy when performing off-centre probing".
Take a look also at the news release from Metris, Manual coordinate measuring arm is lightweight,
as well as Lead-free soldering process controlled cleanly from Gen3 Systems,
and Measuring arm is highly accurate from Metris.
