We have been periodically publishing the English-language Japanese Machine Tool Guidebooks and Manufacturing Equipment Guidebooks for many years. The first "JAPANESE MACHINE TOOL GUIDE" was compiled in 1981 with the goal of introducing as many up-to-date products as possible. What we have done in essence is to condense all the information given in the machine tool catalogs about the latest models supplied by Japan's leading machine tool builders and related equipment manufacturers in one volume. This guide covers over 450 different models. Since the fourth ('91/92) edition under the title "JAPAN'S ADVANCED MANUFACTURING EQUIPMENT GUIDE" was published, we have received a number of inquiries about the next edition.

To respond to such demands, the fifth edition of "JAPAN'S ADVANCED MANUFACTURING EQUIPMENT GUIDE 1996/1997" was released in 1996. The vast majority of the top-ranking products of Japan's advanced manufacturing equipment makers lay at your fingertips.

For those who want to have more information, the DIRECTORY of the Japanese production machinery and equipment manufacturers with their addresses, fax numbers and product lines and PRODUCT GUIDE, which is a visual index showing who makes what, are inserted in the last portion of the book. They both cover not only those manufacturers shown in the book but also other leading manufacturers and suppliers in the field of factory automation.
