3D models aid design of vice systems

A Roemheld product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Feb 18, 2009

Roemheld has released a range of vice systems and jaws for five-axis applications as 3D models in a step-file format.

This will allow production engineers, operators and designers to upload a vice, complete with jaws, as a model into a 3D programme.

It will then simulate cutting operations to identify any collision points that may appear in the programme, enabling potential problems to be re-programmed out before costly collisions occur.

Including these work-holding solutions at the programming stage will speed-up production time.

Hilma five-axis vices are supplied by Roemheld in versatile jaw widths from 40 to 125mm.

The vices can safely hold on just 3mm of raw material, meaning they can save up to 30 per cent of raw material costs per billet.
