We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Turret Mills",
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 Manual/CNC machine tools are simple to use from
XYZ Machine Tools, which we summarised at the time by saying "The ProtoTRAK control fitted to manual/CNC milling machines and lathes retains the inherent simplicity of operation of manual machines while providing CNC capability at DRO prices".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Reliability record determines machine tool choice from
XYZ Machine Tools: "For its training centre, a specialised subcontractor chose new manual and CNC machine tools based on their reliability record and their suitability for training and health and safety requirements".
In April 2007, we covered the news from ACI (UK)
concerning its CNCs, DROs - machine tools
- take a look at CNCs, DROs give easy students' programming
which says: "A university engineering department didn't want students spending hours lwriting programs, so it sought machine tool control systems that allowed quick and easy programs development".
Take a look also at the news release from XYZ Machine Tools, CNC turns subcontractor into European supplier,
as well as Budget-priced lathes and millers introduced from XYZ Machine Tools,
and Escalating UK turret mill sales drive HQ move from Gate Machinery International.
