We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Planetary Gearboxes",
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 High definition plasma-arc cutting installed from
Kerf Developments, which we summarised at the time by saying "A high-definition CNC plasma-arc cutting machine, capable of cutting to a width of 4000mm, is being used by a steel fabricator to profile up to nine plates at a time".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release 7500 selections for geared servo motors from
Lenze: "The MC range of Lenze geared servo motors has expanded to cover more than 7500 selections with in-line or right-angle gearboxes".
In May 2007, we covered the news from Delta Line Europe UK
concerning its Motor and gearbox
- take a look at Miniature motor and gearbox catalogue
which says: "Delta Line Europe UK has introduced the new catalogue from miniature motor and gearbox expert Portescap, a Danaher Motion company".
Take a look also at the news release from Brevini, Reliable drive system for waste water site,
as well as Planetary gearboxes monitor themselves from Micromech,
and Tallest coordinate measuring machine power from Harmonic Drive UK.
