We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Machining Cycles",
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 Valve refines lubrication system from
Bielomatik, which we summarised at the time by saying "Bielomatik has added a new quick valve to its lubrication system, precisely controlling the temperature of the oil arriving at the cutting point".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Control systems get into gear making from
NUM (UK): "Cost-effective control systems are well suited to address all aspects of gear manufacturing".
In December 2005, we covered the news from DP Technology
- take a look at Acquisition merges style with technology
which says: "DP Technology Corp has completed the strategic merger of Esprit and Auton through the cash acquisition of Auton".
Take a look also at the news release from DP Technology, Extra functions added to Esprit CAM tool,
as well as Reorganisation pays dividends from Missler Software,
and Automated manufacturing speeds valve supply from Pathtrace Engineering Systems.
