fascination of measuring technology |
Measuring technology has made enormous
progress over the last few years. Formerly tenths
and hundredths of a millimetre were regarded as
the smallest measurable units, but now we can measure
down to thousandths of a millimeter or even nanometers.
Precision in all areas of calibration, production
and inspection has thus increased many times. This
decisive progress now permits mechanical tolerances
and miniaturization which were previously unthinkable.
The measuring precision, which is in the dimension
of invisibility, is not only our daily bread - it
is a fascinating challenge and lies within the limits
of feasibility.
