We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "CNC Machining Centres",
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 Take another look at rotary transfer machines from
Mike Page - editor's feature articles, which we summarised at the time by saying "Rotary transfer machines were originally conceived with short cycle times and long, high volume production runs, but today, they offer flexibility, writes Mike
Page".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Modular machining centres mill at high speeds from
CMS Group (UK): "Modular machining centdfes can be built up to 8m by 40m (X and Y axis) to order for machining large aluminium or composite components in the aerospace, automotive and marine industries".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Unisign
- take a look at CNC boring/milling machine interest doubled
which says: "Builder of medium to heavy duty CNC milling/boring machines, Unisign, reported more than double the number of enquiries from EMO 2007, when compared with th 2006 show".
Take a look also at the news release from Claro Precision Engineering, Precision engineering excellence recognised,
as well as Wood worker invests in machining centres from Masterwood (UK),
and Dual feed crane releases more production space from Excel Automation.
