It celebrates the annual Assembly of the zenith of the machine tool project

On 5 May 2008 was held the annual meeting of the project Cenit for the machine-tool, "advanced technologies for equipment and manufacturing processes of 2015" which was attended by more than 60 representatives of the technical offices of the companies of the sector and technological centres and universities. In the Assembly, organized by Invema, Unit technology of AFM, which took place at the premises of Fatronik, were the main results achieved in each of the four lines of work of the project: eco-máquina, e, new processes and accuracy and productivity, as well as the progress made in the field of management and dissemination.
