It is often the case that precision instruments are expected to operate within certain limits. Even though a component may appear to be produced to exact dimensions, the slightest change in size can impact its…
The design of a precision instrument is not the only factor that determines its overall performance. Material choice can have a significant impact on the accuracy, durability, weight, thermal stability, corrosion resistance, and service life…
Instruments are designed to deliver precise measurements; however, measurement errors may accumulate over time in any measuring device. Environmental conditions, aging, wear, and general use may cause measurement errors in precision equipment. One of the…
Sensors are found in many of today’s instruments. They allow a device to sense changes in temperature, pressure, movement, light, force or any other condition, and turn those changes into useful information. From industrial tools…
