We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Horizontal Boring",
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 EMO generated EUR 150m orders for machine tools from
Cincinnati Machine, which we summarised at the time by saying "One international machine tool builder, the MAG Group, reported over EUR 150 million of orders generated at the EMO 2007 machine tool exhibition, with more to follow".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Heavy duty milling centres have high capacity from
Ward CNC Machinery: "Four heavy duty CNC milling machines and machining centres combine high-quality build and technologically advanced features for large capacity, heavy-duty milling performance".
In July 2007, we covered the news from Ward CNC Machinery
concerning its CNC lathes, machining centres
- take a look at Machine tools to be seen at EMO 2007
which says: "Machine tool builders represented in the UK by Ward CNC will be showing products ranging fom 2-axis CNC lathes to machining centres and large CNC milling machines".
Take a look also at the news release from Leader CNC, Wind turbines demand larger CNC machine tools,
as well as Korean machine tool firm aims to lead from Mills Manufacturing Technology,
and CNC turning centre scored on speed, accuracy from Mills Manufacturing Technology.
