We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Grinding Machine",
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 Machine radius grinds hard metal punches/dies from
Danobat Group, which we summarised at the time by saying "A radius grinding machine produces hard metal punches and cutting dies for the can, battery, copper pipe and cutting tool insert manufacturers".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release 5-axis machine grinds different broaches from
Schneeberger, J: "For grinding flat, cylindrical or helical broaches, a 5-axis machine produces exceptionally high accuracies owing to the machine's rigid and robust construction".
In December 2007, we covered the news from Danobat Group
concerning its Danobat LG grinding machine
- take a look at External cylindrical grinder is high speed
which says: "Capable of grinding external contours on cylindrical components at high speed, an external cylindrical grinder has sensitive guidance systems and powerful software".
Take a look also at the news release from ITC Tooling, Cutters machine carbon fibre/metal matrix,
as well as Machine grinds micro-tools as small as 0.4mm from Schneeberger, J,
and Cylindrical grinding developments shown from Danobat Group.
