We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "CNC Lathe",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Hydraulic components to aid dam maintenance from
Richard Alan Group, which we summarised at the time by saying "Richard Alan Group has secured a major order for machining precision parts for hydraulic rams to be used for a maintenance project on the Guri Dam in Venezuela".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release CNC package suits small runs for university from
ACI (UK): "Gate Machinery International supplied a total of nine machines to Queen Mary, University of London, Department of Engineering over a 12-month period".
In April 2006, we covered the news from Newall Measurement Systems
concerning its SHG-TT incremental linear encoder
- take a look at Linear encoder outlasts glass scales for Ford
which says: "Newall linear encoder technology has replaced traditional glass scales on a CNC lathe at Getrag Ford Transmissions' Halewood plant to great effect".
Take a look also at the news release from Staubli UK (Robotics), Six-axis robots improve CNC lathe manufacturing,
as well as Growing with the company from Brunswick Tooling,
and Turning solution for small batchwork in autosport from Colchester-Harrison.
