We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Machine Design",
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 CAD/CAM system ensures efficient CNC punching from
Radan Computational, which we summarised at the time by saying "A company, which has taken over the UK agency for the Japanese Nisshinbo CNC punching machines, press brakes and shears, recommends Radan's CAD/CAM systems for their programming".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Automatic system controls lubricants precisely from
Bielomatik: "An automated lubrication system that controls precisely the amount of lubricant released without overspill to rotating and moving parts is a standard feature on packaging machines".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Datron Dynamics
concerning its ExcelsiorR Lite machining centre
- take a look at Machining centre uses micro tools for HSM
which says: "Machining centre uses micro tools for high speed machining and its large machining table full enclosure feature a solid steel base for safety and stability".
Take a look also at the news release from Gleason Corporation, Gear wheel tester and grinder introduced,
as well as CNC sliding head automatic machines specials from NC Engineering,
and Three-phase AC motors couple to Ethernet from Baldor UK.
