We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Machine Tool 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 Vertical machining centre cuts tough alloys from
Hurco Europe, which we summarised at the time by saying "Rugged vertical machining centre with an 18kW high-torque spindle and through-tool coolant delivery enables a UK subcontractor to efficiently cut SS and Duplex, as well as other tough
alloys".
The day before,
we featured the news release UK machine tool group growth continues from
600 Group: "The UK's 600 Group of machine tool businesses has achieved growth, with good results from each of its manufacturers and substantial sales growth by the UK distributor 600 Centre".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Emag UK
concerning its BA 321 horizontal machining centre
- take a look at Horizontal machining centre has twin spindles
which says: "To minimises costs in the high-productivity machining of steel and cast iron workpieces, a twin-spindle hoizontal machining centre is designed for 3- and 4-axis production work".
Take a look also at the news release from Agie Charmilles, Advanced EDM and milling machines to be shown,
as well as Chinese lathes and machining centres shown from 600 Group,
and Servo drives replaced for furniture manufacturer from Yaskawa Engineering Europe.
