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 Vertical machining centres cut patterns from
Haas Automation, which we summarised at the time by saying "Producer of low volume reaction injection moulded parts and polyurethane castings uses five vertical machining centres to cut master pattern equipment from polyurethane tooling board".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Machine tools to be seen at EMO 2007 from
Ward CNC Machinery: "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".
In July 2007, we covered the news from AFM
- take a look at Spanish machine tool firms to number 74 at EMO
which says: "There will be 74 Spanish machine tool and metal working equipment builders exhibiting at EMO 2007 and they will rank as sixth after Germany, Italy, Japan, Switzerland, and Taiwan".
Take a look also at the news release from Open Mind Technologies UK, One CAM programs CNC mill-turn centres,
