We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "CNC Machines", 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 CNC machines bring down carving costs from Micromech, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Isel machine is designed for production routing and drilling on a wide variety of materials including wood, plastic, MDF, solid surfacing materials and nonferrous metals". A couple of weeks before, we featured the news release CNC controller provides cost-effective solution from Marchant Dice: "Marchant Dice's three or four-axis CNC controller is designed to control high-end automated processes".
 
In June 2007, we covered the news from Hughes - take a look at Machine aids fine spring manufacture which says: "William Hughes has invested in the latest CNC machines and quality procedures to assure continuity of supply".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Renishaw, Queen's Award conferred on sensor company, as well as CNC package suits small runs for university from ACI (UK), and Software improves sportswear consistency from Vero International Software.
