We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Milling Machines",
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 Latest 5-axis milling and advanced EDM to be shown from
Agie Charmilles, which we summarised at the time by saying "A high performance, 5-axis machining centre, a wire EDM and a die-sinking EDM will reflect the latst in milling and EDM technology at MACH 2008".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release CAM saves 60-70% in machining instruments from
EdgeCAM: "CAM system provides efficient solution for machining electro-optical instruments for space applications, achieving savings of 60-70% on subcontracting multi-off orders".
In January 2008, we covered the news from AFM
- take a look at Spanish machine tool 2007 exports rose 10.3%
which says: "The Association of Spanish Machine Tool Manufacturers (AFM) has reported machine tool production up by 7.3% and exports up by 10.3% during 2007".
Take a look also at the news release from Renishaw, Machine tool probes pocket guide published,
as well as Manual/CNC machine tools are simple to use from XYZ Machine Tools,
and CAD/CAM reduces products' time to market from Delcam.
