‘Micrometers’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Indentec indenter allows GKN to test outside joint from
Zwick Roell, which we summarised at the time by saying "Indentec's nose-mounted indenter enables hardness tests to be performed inside hollow enclosures, bores and tubes. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Optical micrometer boasts high accuracy from
Keyence (UK): "The Keyence LS-7010 optical micrometer system provides a resolution of 0.01um with a repeatability of +/- 0.06um, two times the accuracy of conventional micrometers. ".
In October 2007, we covered the news from PI (Physik Instrumente)
- take a look at Actuators provide precise positioning
which says: "The Nexact system combines virtually unlimited travel ranges with high stiffness and bandwidth in a very small package. ".
Take a look also at the news release from TAL Technologies, Acquisition software links serial devices to Vista,
as well as Video measurement machine improve lab productivity from OGP UK,
and Piezolectric range offers precise operation from Unimatic Engineers.
