We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Co-ordinate Measuring Machines",
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 Laser measurement registers printing success from
Renishaw, which we summarised at the time by saying "Thanks to Renishaw laser measurement technology, one company's large-scale printers are considered the safe bet for consistency, reliability and stunning images".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Inspection system outperforms CMMS from
NVision: "The Maxos solution includes a noncontact light probe, a bridge or horizontal gantry, a turntable option, installation, custom programming, training and maintenance".
In April 2007, we covered the news from OGP UK
concerning its Video metrology
- take a look at Understanding video metrology
which says: "William R Gilman, Vice President of North American Sales for Optical Gaging Products, explains the key concepts involved in video metrology".
Take a look also at the news release from Aberlink, Summer savings on CMM/probe combos,
as well as Controller offers touch-trigger probing capability from Renishaw,
and High-quality pistons for motorsport from MCT.
