Start with
the news release Modular worm gear units have oversized bearings from
Nord Gear, which we summarised at the time by saying "High-reliability right-angle worm gear units have oversized bearings to extend life in electro-mechanical automation applications such as conveyors".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Machine tool builder expands in E Europe from
Cincinnati Machine: "Machine tool builder, MAG Industrial Automation Systems, now controls the ThyssenKrupp Technologies production plant in Kecskemet, now known as MAG Hungary".
In November 2007, we covered the news from VDW
- take a look at 500 book space for German machine tool show
which says: "The VDW informs that around 500 exhibitors from 17 countries have already booked more than 40,000m2 net exhibition space for METAV 2008 and the organiser is optimistic".
Take a look also at the news release from Sercos North America, New OEM members for packing machinery alliance,
