‘Micrometers’
A Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Optical micrometer boasts high accuracy from
Keyence (UK), which we summarised at the time by saying "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. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Actuators provide precise positioning from
PI (Physik Instrumente): "The Nexact system combines virtually unlimited travel ranges with high stiffness and bandwidth in a very small package. ".
In May 2007, we covered the news from TAL Technologies
- take a look at Acquisition software links serial devices to Vista
which says: "The latest version of WinWedge acquisition software that has been recompiled to work with all versions of Windows, including Windows Vista. ".
Take a look also at the news release from OGP UK, Video measurement machine improve lab productivity,
as well as Piezolectric range offers precise operation from Unimatic Engineers,
and Popular precision gauges come together from Mahr Federal.
