We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Vibration Damping",
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 CNC lathes customised for work requirements from
Leader CNC, which we summarised at the time by saying "Rigid and robust turning centres are available as 2-axis 'turn-only', multi-axis versions with driven tools and C-axis, or as a mill-turn centre with sub-spindle, radial tool turret and
C-axis".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Cheaper sawing machines can cost more to operate from
Kasto: "Next time a sawing machine is being sought, avoid the temptation to buy a cheap one without looking at the total cost/cut or the cost to cut 1m2".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Kasto
concerning its Bandsaw technology
- take a look at Users now seek more bandsaw performance
which says: "Improved cutting performances, better cutting qualities and an increasing degree in automation have led to a constant improvement in bandsaw technology, reports Kasto".
Take a look also at the news release from Emag UK, Highly flexible hobber cuts gears up to Module 4,
as well as Wind generates more machine tool sales energy from Mike Page - editor's feature articles,
and Bearings dampen rotary tables' vibration from Schaeffler (UK).
