When asked about the biggest development related to powertrain machining, Mark Tomlinson, vice president of Technology Integration, Lamb Technicon (Warren, MI), proffers an unusual answer. Lamb is a well-known supplier of machinery for powertrain. There are plenty of engine plants around the world with the Lamb placard affixed to a variety of transfer lines; the company, responding to requirements for more flexible equipment, has also built a number of programmable spindle machines that are either integrated into the more traditional transfer lines or serve as elements within flexible cells or systems.
