We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Co-ordinate Measuring Machine",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Hydraulic components to aid dam maintenance from
Richard Alan Group, which we summarised at the time by saying "Richard Alan Group has secured a major order for machining precision parts for hydraulic rams to be used for a maintenance project on the Guri Dam in Venezuela".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release CMM suits use on precision components from
Immersion Corp: "The MicroScribe X CMM arm's SmartCapture coil trigger deflects in any direction to help eliminate inconsistent pressure that adversely affects accuracy".
In July 2007, we covered the news from Aberlink
concerning its Aberlink Zenith co-ordinate measuring machine
- take a look at CMM suits remote production centre
which says: "Trelleborg Seals has recently established a satellite production unit in North Africa for the long-term, exclusive supply of seals to a major aerospace user".
Take a look also at the news release from Apem Components, Choosing the right joystick,
as well as Optical scanning slashes inspection times from NVision,
and Laser unit and compensator shrink dramatically from Renishaw.
