We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Operator Error",
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 Turning highly alloyed aerospace metals from
Stellram, which we summarised at the time by saying "A turning insert's geometry, combind with a super-hard coating and micro-grain carbide substrate, is designed to machine high nickel, high cobalt and titanium-based alloys".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Measurement software gathers and stores data from
ASI DataMyte: "A user-friendly precision measurement software package is designed to collect and store measurement data from manual, semi-automatic and automatic inspection systems".
In June 2007, we covered the news from Keithley Instruments
concerning its Model 2910 V2.0 vector signal generator
- take a look at Vector signal generator with modulation abilities
which says: "Model 2910 V2.0 includes additional wireless signal generation waveforms, a new power calibration feature, and increased ARB memory".
Take a look also at the news release from Schaeffler (UK), RFID vibration and temperature monitoring,
as well as Router machine tools covered by agreement from CNC Machine Tools,
and Cost-effective UV-visible spectrophotometer from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Molecular Spectroscopy).
