We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Metrology Equipment",
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 Laser trackers measure large components from
Leica Geosystems AG, which we summarised at the time by saying "A USA-based a full service contract measurement company has added four laser tracking units for measuring large components of over 30m long".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Cartridge valve permits high-density fitting from
Moog Controls: "The cartridge design permits high-density fitting for applications where multiple valves are required to be mounted on a single manifold or in industries where weight and space are at a premium".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Nikon UK
concerning its INEXIV VMA-2520 video measuring system
- take a look at Touch probe added to non-contact measurement
which says: "Adding a touch probe for 3D contact measurement to non-contact optical and laser measurement makes this system a truly compact multi sensor machine, said its supplier".
Take a look also at the news release from Metris, Extensive CMM range rebranded,
as well as Micro metrology equipment market expands from Frost and Sullivan,
and Turned parts company grows by one-third from Qualiturn Products.
