At its recent in-house show in Changwon, South Korea, machine tool supplier Doosan Infracore unveiled 63 new and modified machines and a revamped look for all of its future machines. About 3,500 customers and dealers attended the three-day event, some 400 of whom came from Europe.

Multi-tasking with latest generation of machining centres

A new generation of multi-tasking machines, dubbed the Puma SMX line, attracted the most attention from the visitors. The first two models in the mid-sized machine range were on display, featuring the new Doosan livery of white, blue and grey with extra large viewing windows.
