We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Boring Machines",
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 UK Q3 machine tool exports grow from
Manufacturing Technologies Association, which we summarised at the time by saying "During the third quarter (Q3) of 2007, the UK exported machine tools worth GBP 126.5 million - an increase of 11.2% over Q3, 2006, and 12.2% higher than Q2,
2007".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Inserts supplier change betters deep-hole drilling from
TaeguTec UK: "A deep-hole drilling head is machining holes to size consistently while the need to change inserts has fallen dramatically since switching to different inserts".
In October 2007, we covered the news from Alpha Gear Drives
concerning its Linear drives
- take a look at Linear drives position to 30 micron
which says: "Linear drives, using rack and pinion systems, position to an accuracy of 30 micron and offer acceleration up to 4G and speeds of up to 300m/min".
Take a look also at the news release from Goratu UK, Travelling column CNC machine mills 10m parts,
as well as Heavy machine shop firm undergoes MBO from DavyMarkham,
and Wind turbines demand larger CNC machine tools from Leader CNC.
