We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Vertical Axis",
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 Take another look at rotary transfer machines from
Mike Page - editor's feature articles, which we summarised at the time by saying "Rotary transfer machines were originally conceived with short cycle times and long, high volume production runs, but today, they offer flexibility, writes Mike
Page".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Integrated positioning system for night vision from
Videotec Srl: "Videotec has launched a new model of its integrated positioning system, ULISSE, with standard side opening housing, specially designed for night vision purposes".
In August 2007, we covered the news from Qualiturn Products
concerning its Mill/turned parts
- take a look at Turned parts company grows by one-third
which says: "A subcontractor operating 16 CNC sliding head and two fixed head CNC automatics has grown its turnover by one-third since its move to a new factory in 2004".
Take a look also at the news release from Unimatic Engineers, Laser cutting and marking machines for students,
as well as Vertical turning lathe has robotic loading from 600 Centre,
and Twin-spindle, front load lathe is automated from 600 Centre.
