We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Automated Material Handling",
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 Machine tool builder to stage 'EMO Encore' event from
Yamazaki Mazak UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "As well as viewing the latest CNC machine tool releases at an 'EMO Encore' event, the UK plant of Yamazaki Mazak will show off the recently completed extension of its machine tool
plant".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Dynamic laser cutters reduce production costs from
Prima Industrie UK: "A drastic reduction in production costs and times is being achieved with a laser profiling and cutting machine equipped with a highly dynamic, lightweight head".
In October 2006, we covered the news from PIAB
concerning its VGS 3010 Integrated vacuum gripper system
- take a look at Vacuum gripper increases packaging reliability
which says: "Integrated vacuum gripper system (VGS) features Duraflex suction cups and patented Coax ejector technology".
Take a look also at the news release from PIAB, Plastics bag handling has high reliability,
as well as Vacuum pump gives up to 40% more flow from PIAB,
and Fixed position laser scanners cooperation extended from Datalogic.
