Vices grip thin metal safely

The Roemheld Hilma five-axis vices dramatically reduce material wastage per billet, driving down raw material costs.

Roemheld Hilma five-axis vices can safely grip titanium for machining on 3mm rather than the traditional 20mm.

They are suitable for use in the aerospace industry.

As well as increasing work throughput, the Roemheld Hilma five-axis vices dramatically reduce material wastage per billet, driving down raw material costs.

This combined with reduced cycle times and reduced handling means that these vices provide a flexible, cost-effective solution for aerospace sub-contractors.

Bill Neal, Managing Director for Roemheld, said: "As the cost of titanium continues to rise, the ability to machine on just 3mm is proving to be a key selling point of these vices within this market sector".

Hilma vices are strong enough to cope with the most demanding 5-axis work and perform to tight tolerances and high repeatability.

The vices also have an excellent track record for maintenance as the lead screws are completely sealed, leaving no room for swarf to get in.
