A Manufacturingtalk guide

Start with the news release SV-1000 increases two-stroke engines' power output from Sunnen Products Company, which we summarised at the time by saying "Sunnen has introduced the SV-1000 vertical CNC honing machine, which allows manufacturers of outdoor power equipment to improve the durability and power output of small two-stroke engines.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Linear motion systems increase energy efficiency from Bosch Rexroth: "Modern linear motion systems and components from Rexroth can help users to increase the energy efficiency of their applications.".
 
In July 2009, we covered the news from Aerotech - take a look at Aerotech offers ANT-LXV vertical translation stage which says: "Aerotech has added a vertical translation stage to its ANT range of 'nanotranslation' linear position stages.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Ward CNC Machinery, HS 5000 HMC accommodates table load of 500kg, as well as NUM CNC platform controls Oxyser twin-head machine from NUM (UK), and MBS offers T-Slot Slider from Item from Machine Building Systems.
