We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Bore Diameter",
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 High Cpk for lathe with 3 tool carriers from
Geo Kingsbury Machine Tools, which we summarised at the time by saying "Geo Kingsbury Machine Tools has supplied an Index ABC lathe with three tool carriers to an automotive component maker, achieving a process capability of Cpk 2.0 on tolerances as
tight as 22 microns".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Wheel-end for commercial vehicles from
SKF UK: "An advanced wheel-end for commercial vehicles, called the ModulD, has been developed in a joint project including SKF UK".
In August 2007, we covered the news from Blum Novotest
concerning its NT-H3D non-contact tool setting system
- take a look at Non-contact tool setting system introduced
which says: "German metrology manufacturer will show a non-contact tool setting system, touch probes, tool length setting probe and software for in-process workpiece measurement at a UK GTMA event".
Take a look also at the news release from Blum Novotest, One non-contact unit checks mill and turn tools,
as well as Front loader twin-spindle lathe halves labour cost from Matsuura Machinery,
and Vertical submicron CNC honing system from Sunnen Products Company.
