Several lathe builders have done essentially that. They call the configuration an inverted vertical turning machine or an inverted-spindle vertical lathe, and they expect it to challenge the horizontal chucker in a substantial number of small-, medium- and large-batch automation applications. info@seoseonews.com (article admin) Sat, 08 Dec 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.cnccncmachines.com/articles/2648/1/11-axis-Swiss-type-turning-centerStar-CNC-booth-A-8582/11-axis-Swiss-type-turning-centerStar-CNC-booth-A-8582.html The ECAS 32T is a Swiss-type lathe with two ten-station turrets plus an eight-position backwork post, all of which accommodate both turning tools and milling/drilling tools. info@seoseonews.com (article admin) Fri, 30 Nov 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.cnccncmachines.com/articles/2634/1/Single-Use-Custom-Surgical-Needles-And-Knives-With-Grips-Facilitate-Surgical-Procedures/Single-Use-Custom-Surgical-Needles-And-Knives-With-Grips-Facilitate-Surgical-Procedures.html Minneapolis, MN - Custom manufactured surgical needles and knives with custom grips designed to your specifications for more accurate surgical procedures are now available from Marshall Manufacturing Company. info@seoseonews.com (article admin) Fri, 30 Nov 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.cnccncmachines.com/articles/2569/1/CNC-turning-and-mill-turn-machines-updated/CNC-turning-and-mill-turn-machines-updated.html Latest universal turning and mill/turning machines offer up to 25% performance improvement, when compared with the last generation, while work area visibility has been improved info@seoseonews.com (article admin) Tue, 27 Nov 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.cnccncmachines.com/articles/2554/1/Contract-Shop-Profits-On-Short-Run-Turning/Contract-Shop-Profits-On-Short-Run-Turning.html A precision turning shop in the Chicago suburbs faced a challenge familiar to many contract shop owners, normal high-volume customers were insisting on rapid-response, short-run and prototype work also, or the high volume work would be given to another shop. info@seoseonews.com (article admin) Sat, 24 Nov 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.cnccncmachines.com/articles/2525/1/Turning-highly-alloyed-aerospace-metals/Turning-highly-alloyed-aerospace-metals.html A turning insert's geometry, combind with a super-hard coating and micro-grain carbide substrate, is designed to machine high nickel, high cobalt and titanium-based alloys info@seoseonews.com (article admin) Fri, 23 Nov 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.cnccncmachines.com/articles/2504/1/CNC-turning-machine-bar-loader-boost-productivity/CNC-turning-machine-bar-loader-boost-productivity.html At production machine shops, saving time and reducing operating costs are critical to competitive success. info@seoseonews.com (article admin) Thu, 22 Nov 2007 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.cnccncmachines.com/articles/2375/1/Compact-vertical-turning-machine-to-be-shown/Compact-vertical-turning-machine-to-be-shown.html On show at MACH for the first time on stand 5330 will be the new BlueTurn range of vertical turning centres from Cincinnati.
