‘Cnc Lathe’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release SKS to distribute XYZ machines tools in Scotland from SKS Engineering, which we summarised at the time by saying "XYZ Machine Tools has appointed SKS Engineering as its distributor in Scotland to support the full XYZ range throughout the region.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Diversified Plastics helps produce medical device from Diversified Plastics: "Diversified Plastics has been chosen by Coaxia to produce a polycarbonate miniature manifold, which is part of Coaxia's Neuroflo catheter. ".

In August 2009, we covered the news from Machine Building Systems - take a look at MBS adds 'Positioning Set 8 40' to Item kit which says: "Machine Building Systems has added the 'Positioning Set 8 40', a screw-actuated positioning set, to its Item aluminium profile system.".

Take a look also at the news release from EMS, EMS expands manufacturing facility, as well as Royal launches CNC bar pullers from Royal Products, and Procter relaunches Nelsa machine shop guards from Procter Machine Guarding.
