We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Tailstock",
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 CNC lathes customised for work requirements from
Leader CNC, which we summarised at the time by saying "Rigid and robust turning centres are available as 2-axis 'turn-only', multi-axis versions with driven tools and C-axis, or as a mill-turn centre with sub-spindle, radial tool turret and
C-axis".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release VMC mini mill does more than drill and tap from
Matchmaker M/C: "While many machines on the market described as 'mini mills' are just mill/tap centres, a subcontractor says that its 'mini-mill' is a powerful three axis vertical machining centre".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Hardinge Machine Tools
concerning its 5C2 Rotary Indexer
- take a look at Rotary indexer takes heavier loads
which says: "Robust rotary indexer takes heavier radial and axial loads and offers greater accuracy and more spindle clearance and tooling access".
Take a look also at the news release from Anca Pty, Adding accuracy to long tool grinding jobs,
as well as Grinding crankshaft pins and bearings in one from Emag UK,
and CNC turning and mill-turn machines updated from DMG (UK).
