We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Machine Manufacturer",
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 HMCs replace VMCs and raise productivity 25% from
NCMT, which we summarised at the time by saying "Two of the latest 4-axis horizontal machining centres are machining aircraft steel engine mounts and have raised productivity by 25% compared with vertical machining centre work".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release High-precision laser cuts more productively from
Fanuc GE CNC UK: "Claimed to be the smallest and lightest CO2 laser on the market, a 4kW model with improved beam quality and stability, can cut sheet metals up to 25mm thick".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Fanuc GE CNC UK
concerning its 3D interference check function
- take a look at 3D CNC collision check function improved
which says: "Fanuc GE has developed a 3D interference check function, which helps prevent machine collisions for the Series 30i/31i model A CNC controllers and a data exchange is possible with CAD systems".
Take a look also at the news release from Bespoke Machines, Drilling bowls for a good grip,
as well as CAM ousts CAD+nesting module in composites from Jetcam International,
and Machine breakdown repair saves weeks of downtime from Moog Controls.
