We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Swarf Conveyor",
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 UK CNC automatics agent reports high sales from
Miyano UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "Following appointment as the Miyano CNC automatic lathe sales agent for the North of England and Scotland in 2006, Bewley and Co has reported exceptional levels of sales".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release CNC sliding head lathe fits automation ideal from
NC Engineering: "Pump manufacturer is making maximum use of automation to maintain competitiveness, and said a CNC sliding head mill/turn centre fits exactly into what the company is trying to achieve".
In June 2007, we covered the news from DMG (UK)
concerning its CTX 10 range of universal slant bed lathes
- take a look at Lower cost, high accuracy feature CNC lathes
which says: "'Entry level' universal slant bed CNC lathes, priced in the UK at under GBP 38,000, offer high accuracy, simple graphical programming and 3D simulation".
Take a look also at the news release from Dean, Smith and Grace, Hollow spindle CNC lathe is precise,
as well as Vertical machining centre has geared head from Colchester-Harrison,
and Powerful CNC lathe installed at subcontractor from MTLCNC.
