We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Thermal Stability",
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 Portable laser tracker is more accurate from
Leica Geosystems AG, which we summarised at the time by saying "Easily portable laser tracker claims substantial advances in thermal stability and volumetric accuracy, accelerated start-up times, major speed improvements and a maintenance-free
internal design".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Vertical turning lathes mill and grind too from
Dugard: "A range of elevating cross rail-type vertical turning lathes machine parts up to 2.8m diameter by 1.6m height, including milling, drilling and, optionally, grinding too".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Schneeberger, J
concerning its Corvus broach grinding machine
- take a look at 5-axis machine grinds different broaches
which says: "For grinding flat, cylindrical or helical broaches, a 5-axis machine produces exceptionally high accuracies owing to the machine's rigid and robust construction".
Take a look also at the news release from DSM Engineering Plastics, High performance plastics work under the hood,
as well as Non-contact measurement can work in picometres from IBS Precision Engineering,
and OD wheels grind hard/'exotic'/tough alloys from Tyrolit.
