We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Metalworking 2002",
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 MMMA membership continues to increase from
Metalforming Machinery Makers Association, which we summarised at the time by saying "Membership of The Metalforming Machinery Makers' Association (MMMA) continues to increase with the announcement that John Tainton has joined the association".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Deep-throat punch press chosen for speed from
Trumpf: "Mansfield-Pollard and Co has ordered a Trumatic 5000-1600, the first 'deep-throat' version of this award-winning CNC punch-press to be sold in the UK".
In August 2002, we covered the news from Press and Shear Machinery
concerning its Finn-Power automated pressworking cell
- take a look at Automated cell beats stand-alone turret presses
which says: "Since an automated pressworking cell was installed at a heating and ventilating equipment manufacturer, it says new the facility is 50 per cent faster than stand-alone turret punch presses".
Take a look also at the news release from Trumpf, Lift maker adds on sixth new CNC sheet metal cell,
as well as Laser profiler will cut intricate shapes from Electrox,
and Press brake brings metalworking back in-house from LVD (UK).
