In July 2006, we covered the news from Emag UK
concerning its Vertical turning centres, machining centres
- take a look at VTLs plus MCs provide wheel making flexibility
which says: "Machining wheel carriers - or 'knuckles' - is performed on a very flexible 'quad-type' manufacturing system based on vertical turning centres, machining centres, automation and robotic handling".
Take a look also at the news release from DMG (UK), HMCs offer higher accuracy, productivity,
as well as Maxcor acquires ThyssenKrupp MetalCutting group from Cincinnati Machine,
