Interactive catalogue features 2 and 3D models
The latest interactive catalogue from Roemheld, RIC now has the latest 2D and 3D CAD data.
They allow a high density of jack posts and will withstand very high axial and radial loads without deflection.
The active UHF systems concentrate on highly accurate solutions and "smart" vacuum cups incorporating "intelligent" features.
The Kostyrka UHF systems offer significant advantages over conventional (fixed) fixturing.
They use up to several hundred computer controlled variable height shafts to rigidly hold curved and shaped panels such as aircraft wing skins.
When implementing this flexible fixturing, recurring and nonrecurring costs are minimised and setup times reduced. Request a free brochure from Roemheld UK ...
