‘Dimensional Accuracy’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Micro stepper motors bring pictures into focus from EMS, which we summarised at the time by saying "Electro Mechanical Systems has supplied Precistep micro-stepper motors to Life Optics to allow it to develop a compact, reliable and light-weight head-mounted microscope.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Q-Sys provides custom-designed motion systems from Q-Sys: "Q-Sys offers a complete design-and-build service for all types of precision motion and positioning systems. ".
 
In November 2009, we covered the news from James Walker and Co - take a look at James Walker designs advanced seat material which says: "Working closely with valve manufacturers, James Walker Devol has developed Devlon V-API as a superior seat material that would overcome the individual shortcomings of all the other material grades.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Sherborne Sensors, Sherborne announces MEMS inclinometers, as well as Laser Design system checks injection mould tooling from Laser Design, and Resources company selects Able gas flowmeter from Able Instruments and Controls.
