We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Turning Machine",
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 Multispindle lathe can be fed with billets from
Tornos Technologies, which we summarised at the time by saying "Multispindle automatic lathe working need not be confined to bar work as at least one machine tool builder's machines can be equipped for automatic billet and tube blank loading as
well".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Centre combines turning and gear hobbing from
Emag UK: "A gear manufacturer can benefit from a vertical pick-up spindle hobbing and turning centre that combines hobbing and turning and so reduces work-in-progress/production inventory stocks".
In September 2007, we covered the news from Emag UK
concerning its VTC 315 DS shaft machining centre
- take a look at Pick-up VTL machines shafts completely
which says: "A vertical pick-up spindle turning centre combines all end machining processes for shafts including CBN grinding, hard turning and scroll-free turning".
Take a look also at the news release from Tornos Technologies, CNC multi-spindle lathe cuts medical parts,
as well as CNC multi-spindle lathe made for medics from Tornos Technologies,
and Pick-up spindle VTL changed over quickly from Emag UK.
