We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Traverse Speed",
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 Pulsed YAG laser welds reflective metals from
Rofin-Baasel UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "A range of pulsed YAG rod lasers, with power ratings from 40W to 500W, can weld delicate components and highly reflective metals, such as aluminium and copper, up to 2.0mm thick".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Compact CNC milling machine is universal from
HK Technologies: "A very compact universal CNC 3-axis milling machine for general machining is being offered at an unrivalled price-performance ratio, selling for under EUR 50,000".
In October 2007, we covered the news from Mike Page - editor's feature articles
concerning its Multi-spindles
- take a look at Multi-spindle automatic lathes advance
which says: "As the operational flexibility of CNC multi-spindle lathes increases and the changeover times dramatically reduce, is it time for large batch production to use more of them, asks Mike Page".
Take a look also at the news release from DMG (UK), Machining centres offer precise 5-axis milling,
as well as Bridge miller offers affordable 5-axis machining from XYZ Machine Tools,
and Twin-spindle, front load lathe is automated from 600 Centre.
