We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Machine Designs",
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 Apprentice toolmaker works his way to the board from
SP Technology, which we summarised at the time by saying "SP Technology has announced the appointment of Roy Henderson to the Board of Directors".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Planetary gearhead claims new benchmark from
Micromech: "One of Micromech's most successful planetary gearheads recently underwent complete remodelling so that the new LP/LPB-plus has set yet another benchmark in the planetary gearhead arena".
In August 2006, we covered the news from Lenze
concerning its Vogel SK spiral bevel gearboxes
- take a look at Spiral bevel gearboxes reduce servo backlash
which says: "The new Vogel SK range of spiral bevel gearboxes are designed for servomotors in mechanical handling, packaging and robotic applications".
Take a look also at the news release from Alpha Gear Drives, Gearbox features innovative tooth design,
as well as Inverters keep packaging machines up to speed from Lenze,
and Pre-engineered systems improve competitiveness from Asco Joucomatic Numatics.
