Start with the news release Brown and Holmes to showcase Forkardt chuck ranges from Brown and Holmes, which we summarised at the time by saying "Brown and Holmes is to launch three Forkardt chuck ranges at Mach 2010: the tool grind chuck; diaphragm chucks and the high-precision chucking system.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Baker Hughes selects Yorky oilfield grinder from Broadbent Stanley: "Broadbent Stanley and the GAC Group have delivered their fifth Yorky Type 'O' oilfield grinder following their purchase of the machine's design and manufacturing rights.".
 
In March 2010, we covered the news from Kaltenbach - take a look at Behringer bandsaw delivers high-speed cutting which says: "Kaltenbach has launched the Behringer HBM400 SC (Speed Cutting) machine, which is said to cut 16MnCr5 metals at 500cm2/min.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Cognex, Cognex launches In-sight Explorer v4.4, as well as Reactionarm Manipulator reduces operator injury from Positech, and Banner systems enhanced with remote display from Banner Engineering.
