Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Interface hydraulic valve has digital control from
Moog Controls, which we summarised at the time by saying "Interface valve is an advanced hydraulic valve with microprocessor-based electronics and various fieldbus interfaces and is easy to install".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Vertical machining centre saves the day from
Dugard: "Special SS bar taps components, sourced outside the UK, did not meet quality standards so a UK machine shop, using a vertical machining centre, did the job properly".
In December 2007, we covered the news from Yamazaki Mazak UK
concerning its Multi-tasking machining centres
- take a look at Machining centres produce hydraulic parts families
which says: "A manufacturer's on-going development in hydraulic pumps and motors is paralleled by the installation of multi-tasking machining centres for small and medium batch production".
Take a look also at the news release from Agie Charmilles, Wire EDM improves subcontractor services,
as well as Increasing aerospace manufacturing productivity from Applied PLM Solutions,
and Lasers reduce panel power press operations from Prima Industrie UK.
