We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Travelling Gantry",
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 Five-axis twin-spindle VMC has high output from
Emag UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "The aerospace industry wants more 5-axis production machining output, which is why a German machine tool builder has introduced a twin-spindle, 5-axis vertical and horizontal machining
centres".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Travelling gantry machining centre ordered from
AsquithButler: "UK excavator manufacturer invests in a large capacity, travelling gantry, vertical machining centre to machine front and rear chassis, excavator booms/arms and compact excavator floorpans in India".
In February 2007, we covered the news from Halifax Numerical Controls
concerning its Retrofit CNC and machine rebuild service
- take a look at Retrofit CNC raises long bed miller productivity
which says: "Control reliability and ease-of-use were the key factors in a subcontrac tor's decision to change to GE Fanuc for the CNC and drives of a long-bed, travelling gantry Cincinnati machining centre".
Take a look also at the news release from Konecranes (UK), Electrical steels plant orders gantry crane,
as well as Facade maintenance made easier and safer from Access Group,
and Large machining centre turns too from Unisign.
