We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Angle Head",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Large display has 22 CNC machine tools from
Yamazaki Mazak UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "One of the largest exhibition stands at the recent EMO 2007 machine tool show was the Yamazak Mazak Corporation one with 22 CNC machine tools on display".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release 'One-hit' machining of complex components from
Unicut Precision: "Unicut Precision has won a long-term contract to produce batches of 250 flow control bodies that caused concern even to the supplier of the machines on which the parts would be processed".
In February 2007, we covered the news from Unicut Precision
concerning its One-hit machining
- take a look at One-hit machining on complex components
which says: "'One-hit' single machining cycles on very complex components has won Unicut Precision a long-term contract to produce batches of 250 flow control bodies".
Take a look also at the news release from 600 Centre, Cylindrical grinder has 45m/s wheel speed,
as well as Russian machining seminar generates orders from Manufacturing Technologies Association,
and Milling head raises flange output four-fold from CTL Centreline.
