We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Machine Tool Suppliers",
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 HMC machines 'intelligent' transmission parts from
Heller Machine Tools, which we summarised at the time by saying "When an engineering group sought a machining centre to machine aluminium transmission housing components it looked for a company to provide full production engineering support, writes
Mike Page".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Machine tools work better with good maintenance from
Cincinnati Machine: "There are still machine tol users who expect machine tools to perform as per specification without the user doing more than applying lubrication - here is how to choose the best maintenance package".
In June 2007, we covered the news from DMG (UK)
concerning its GMX500 linear mill/turn centre
- take a look at Mill/turn centre procured in a hurry
which says: "Wanting a mill/turn centre in a hurry, to fulfil a contract for aircraft wheels and brakes, a subcontractor managed to obtain a high specification machine from a German machine tool UK agent".
Take a look also at the news release from XYZ Machine Tools, UK area machine tool sales manager named,
as well as Machine tool boring heads set precisely from 600 Centre,
and 21 year old VMC 'still going strong' from Matsuura Machinery.
