We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Horizontal Machining Centre",
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 Modern machinery produces vintage parts from
ACI (UK), which we summarised at the time by saying "Anilam 3000 series CNC upgrade from ACI (UK) has given a new lease of life the the elderly CNC Avon turret mill used by Fiennes Restoration".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Inspection software removes quality problem from
Delcam: "A portable coordinate measuring machine from CimCore and Delcam's PowerInspect inspection software allowed Townley Engineering and Manufacturing to track down a costly reliability problem".
In September 2006, we covered the news from Scientific Forming Technologies Corporation
concerning its Deform-3D
- take a look at Simulation cuts the cost of tool modifications
which says: "Tool maker Kennemetal finds Deform-3D metal cutting simulation software a powerful resource in modifying its Fix Perfect polycrystalline diamond tipped milling cutters".
Take a look also at the news release from Claro Precision Engineering, Claro to increase production in 2006,
as well as GTMA awards a hat-trick from Claro Precision Engineering,
and Investment aims improve gearbox quality from Ondrives/Rino Industries.
