We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "CNC Lathes",
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 CNC lathes customised for work requirements from
Leader CNC, which we summarised at the time by saying "Rigid and robust turning centres are available as 2-axis 'turn-only', multi-axis versions with driven tools and C-axis, or as a mill-turn centre with sub-spindle, radial tool turret and
C-axis".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Bar puller saves CNC lathe space from
PCM Tooling (UK): "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".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Delcam
concerning its Programming software for Ganesh Cyclone
- take a look at Making Swiss-type CNC lathes more productive
which says: "For a series of sliding headstock multi-axis CNC lathes, the manufacturer has collaborated with a CAM provider to simplify programming when using, or not using a guide bush".
Take a look also at the news release from 600 Centre, Vertical machining centres precisely cut Inconel,
as well as Manual/CNC machine tools are simple to use from XYZ Machine Tools,
and Vertical machining centre cuts tough alloys from Hurco Europe.
