We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Measuring Instruments",
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 Inspection is key to consistent quality from
ACI (UK), which we summarised at the time by saying "Digital readout systems help Rotary Precision Instruments UK maintain its reputation for the supply of high precision rotary table solutions".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Sensors monitor oil in compressed air from
Beko Technologies: "Oil Control does not react to the rise of the differential pressure, instead monitoring changed remainder oil rates in the streaming compressed air".
In October 2007, we covered the news from Baumer Group
concerning its ED/YTED and ETTN/YTTN instruments
- take a look at Sensors handle tough environments
which says: "With the TED/YTED and ETTN/YTTN ranges Baumer offers within the product segment Process Instrumentation robust measuring instruments for pressure and temperature control for process management".
Take a look also at the news release from Laser Design, Spray paint company makes laser scanning choice,
as well as New company takes over instruments business from Beko Technologies,
and Popular precision gauges come together from Mahr Federal.
