We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Ball Screw",
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 Machining centre uses micro tools for HSM from
Datron Dynamics, which we summarised at the time by saying "Machining centre uses micro tools for high speed machining and its large machining table full enclosure feature a solid steel base for safety and stability".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Power jacks give consistent high performance from
Tsubakimoto UK: "A range of high quality, high precision power jacks for lifting and actuation tasks can be applied in all areas of industry and commerce".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Steinmeyer
- take a look at Ballscrew manufacturer sets up UK company
which says: "Ballscrew manufacturer August Steinmeyer has set up a 'sister' company in the UK, having seen UK turnover grow 60% since a subsidiary was established one year ago".
Take a look also at the news release from Schunk Intec, Vision sensor system inspects workpieces,
as well as Wind generates more machine tool sales energy from Mike Page - editor's feature articles,
and Large display has 22 CNC machine tools from Yamazaki Mazak UK.
