We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Traceable",
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 Open centre X-Y stages are sub-micron precise from
Micromech, which we summarised at the time by saying "Open centre X-Y stages are for a wide range of applications needing not only nano repeatability and accuracy of position but extreme flatness and straightness of motion".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Benchtop presses improve cable crimping from
Contax: "Benchtop presses feature very short set-up and cycle times and ease of use for improving the quality manual crimping of contacts on to wires and cables".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Toolvend
concerning its Tool vending machine
- take a look at Tool vending machine aids CNC machine productivity
which says: "A UK machining subcontractor doubled its turnover through having invested heavily in shop floor equipment and installing a cutting tools vending machine".
Take a look also at the news release from Zwick Roell, Universal material testing machines offer choice,
as well as On-line viscometer installs anywhere in minutes from Hydramotion,
and Automating electrical testing systems from Clare Instruments.
