We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Machine Manufacturers",
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 Servo drives combine reliability and flexibility from
Control Techniques, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Digitax ST range has been designed to provide lean manufacturing environments with smaller, more flexible machinery".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release One bearing replaces four components from
NKE Austria: "The bearing features an RS synthetic rubber seal on one side, a radial oil seal between the outer and inner races as well as a felt seal with a metal cap on the other".
In June 2007, we covered the news from B and R Industrial Automation Corp
- take a look at Company expands into southern California
which says: "BandR's new presence in the Southwestern US will allow the company to introduce the BandR solution to new customers in strong regional industries like packaging, semiconductor and machine tools".
Take a look also at the news release from Lenze, Frequency inverter cuts cost and complexity,
as well as Drive hub eases size changes from Sick (UK),
and Free registration opens for conference from TCT Conference and Exhibition 2007.
