We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "CLA",
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 Industrial automation system saves costs from
ABB Automation Technologies, which we summarised at the time by saying "Industrial automation system extends the scope of traditional control systems by including all automation functions in a single operational and engineering environment,
producing costs savings".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Automation system smartens up mills operation from
ABB Automation Tech (Instrumentation + Automation): "Automation system extends the scope of traditional control systems to include all automation functions in a single operations and engineering environment so that plants/mills can run
smarter".
In August 2004, we covered the news from Surtech Surface Technology Products
concerning its Model 504 BC centreless abrasive belt grinder
- take a look at Tube polishing does not have to be expensive
which says: "Not all tube polishing requires heavy duty machine design and fully automatic operation as a budget price centreless abrasive belt grinding machine has the same controls as more expensive machines".
Take a look also at the news release from Surtech Surface Technology Products, Convert your lathe into a roll grinder,
as well as HMCs save time, up quality on the difficult jobs from Heller Machine Tools,
and Machining centre machines to close tolerances from Heller Machine Tools.
