Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Machine tool builder to stage 'EMO Encore' event from
Yamazaki Mazak UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "As well as viewing the latest CNC machine tool releases at an 'EMO Encore' event, the UK plant of Yamazaki Mazak will show off the recently completed extension of its machine tool
plant".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Manufacturing show has innovation forum from
Hamburg Messe: "The German NORTEC 2008 manufacturing technology show includes an Innovation Forum to provide expert know-how about practical trends in production engineering".
In July 2007, we covered the news from Jetcam International
concerning its CAM - CNC punch presses
- take a look at CNC punching CAM stores tooling geometry
which says: "For CNC punching, heet metal working subcontractor has standardised on one CAM system that stores tooling data on geometry, not the nest, so changes are reflected across all nests instantly".
Take a look also at the news release from Kasto, Sheet metal storage systems are automatic,
as well as CAM covers all CNC punch and laser functions from Jetcam International,
and Nitrogen generator reduces laser cutting cost from Manufacturing Service Solutions.
