We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Turning Machine", 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 Motion controller enables nano-level machining from Micromech, which we summarised at the time by saying "A recent university project aimed to develop a machine tool capable of attaining 50nm accuracy with staggering 5nm repeatability". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Engineering guide to safeguarding from Omron Scientific Technologies: "Scientific Technologies has published its 2006-2007 'Engineering guide to machine and process safeguarding'".
 
In November 2004, we covered the news from Mills Manufacturing Technology concerning its Daewoo ACE VC500 - take a look at 48% off component costs counters materials prices which says: "George Thompson, managing director of Tewkesbury-based contract machinist, Helander Precision Engineering, has reduced component prices over the past five years by 48 per cent".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Anilam, Control retrofit brings galaxy of benefits, as well as Full length bar magazine handles stock down to 2mm from Star Micronics GB, and Control makes lathe into electronic turning unit from StarragHeckert UK.
