Start with the news release Makino machining centres cut titanium faster from NCMT, which we summarised at the time by saying "Japanese machine-tool builder Makino has introduced the Makino T4 and T2 five-axis, high power, horizontal machining centres for machining components from titanium and its alloys.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release ITC aluminium milling cutter quickly clears swarf from ITC Tooling: "ITC Tooling has extended the 3041 Cyber Series of three-fluted end mills to incorporate a radius on all diameter sizes. ".
 
In July 2009, we covered the news from DP Technology - take a look at DP to display Esprit CAM software at DMTS 2009 which says: "The latest version of the Esprit CAM software created by DP Technology will be on display at the Difficult Manufacturing Technology Show (DMTS) on 2-4 July in Nagoya, Japan.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Citizen Machinery UK, Citizen machines provide maximum productivity, as well as Rodmatic develops automated production line from Rodmatic, and EDM machine eliminates corrosion effects from Agie Charmilles.
