Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Time to buy the latest CNC machine tools from
Mike Page - editor's feature articles, which we summarised at the time by saying "This year may be the right time to visit some of the six European machine tool and manufacturing exhibitions and invest in the latest cost cutting technology, writes
Mike Page".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release CNC punching, laser cutting, bending demonstrated from
Trumpf: "The automation of sheet metal working processes, including CNC punching, CNC laser cutting and CNC press brakes will be emphasised for MACH 2008 visitors".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Bystronic UK
concerning its Byspeed 3015 machine and other products at MACH
- take a look at CNC laser cutter can up output by 50%
which says: "A powerful 5.2kW laser cutting/profiling system, when fitted with an automatic load/unload system, can increase by up to 50% with typically only an extra machine investment of 20%".
Take a look also at the news release from Sheet Metal Guy, Directory is guide to sheet metal working supply,
as well as CNC laser profiling system works 'lights out' from Trumpf,
and Press brake operates without crowning from Safan.
