We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Horizontal Machining Centres",
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 Novel cross guide cuts machine build time from
THK UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "The latest high accuracy linear Caged Ball guide from THK UK has been developed to help machine builders and OEMs reduce design and assembly time and cost".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Coolant control unit aids machining efficiency from
Filtration Service Engineering: "SpiderCool is an easy to use, automated coolant control system that can optimise cutting performance and reduce tooling costs on vertical and horizontal machining centres".
In October 2002, we covered the news from Castrol UK
concerning its Alusol XTH
- take a look at Coolant keeps machining at high speeds
which says: "In the competitive world of subcontract manufacturing every product and every supplier comes under the microscope that is used to drive costs out of the business".
Take a look also at the news release from Ward CNC Machinery, Ward CNC collects milling machine agency,
as well as Boring exhibits at MACH 2002 from Ward CNC Machinery,
and Bed-type mill shows up at MACH 2002 from Ward CNC Machinery.
