We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "CNC Lathe",
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 Bar puller saves CNC lathe space from
PCM Tooling (UK), which we summarised at the time by saying "A bar puller for CNC lathes works directly from a coolant supply, needs less than 2 bar of pressure and can pull bars ranging from 3-105mm with no adjustments".
The same day,
we featured the news release CNC lathe combines Swiss and turret functions from
REM SALES: "A CNC sliding headstock automatic lathe combines the benefits of a Swiss-turn and the flexibility of a turret machine and includes gang tools, turret and back-working spindle".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Kingsbury Machine Tools
concerning its Index MS22C CNC six-spindle automatic
- take a look at CNC multi-spindle automatic is affordable
which says: "It is now possible to buy a six-spindle CNC automatic lathe for around twice the cost of a 'high-end' CNC sliding-head automatic lathe for machining parts up to 22mm diameter".
Take a look also at the news release from Floyd Automatic Tooling, Parting-off lathe tools have longer life,
as well as Advanced and well-proven linear drive systems from DMG (UK),
and Sliding head automatics quell CNC 'fear' from NC Engineering.
