We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Test 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 Fastener ensures electrical connection on Al frame from
Machine Building Systems, which we summarised at the time by saying "A fastener, when tightened, causes its screw to destroy and displace aluminium anodising immediately around it, giving a guaranteed electrical connection to one piece of
profile".
A few 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 November 2007, we covered the news from Clare Instruments
concerning its Automating electrical testing systems
- take a look at Automating electrical testing systems
which says: "John Barnett describes how the integration and automation of electrical testing systems can enhance production control and quality assurance in modern manufacturing processes".
Take a look also at the news release from Zwick Roell, Plastics melt indexer is more accurate for QC,
as well as Miniature sensors apply to testing machines from StrainSense,
and Maintenance contractor ups steel productivity from Siemens Automation and Drives.
