We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Micrometer",
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 Sanitary gauge is food approved from
Winters Instruments, which we summarised at the time by saying "Unlike competing products, Winters' 3A approved sanitary gauges have +/-0.75% full scale accuracy".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Sensors combine to measure wet paint thickness from
Micro-Epsilon UK: "An innovative combination sensor system attaches directly to a robot arm so that automotive OEMs can inspect the thickness of sprayed paint coatings".
In November 2006, we covered the news from Reliance Precision Mechatronics
concerning its RGPA, RRPA, RSSA and RMRA
- take a look at Miniature actuators enable flexible designs
which says: "New from Reliance Precision Mechatronics is a range of 'palm size' actuators for the miniature mechatronics market".
Take a look also at the news release from Maxon Motor UK, Motor stability is key to optical accuracy,
as well as Laser sensor contributes to a close shave from Micro-Epsilon UK,
and Measurement system keeps diaphragms in line from SKF UK.
