cess measured data. The standard scanning feature uses the VAST XXT probe to enable precision probing with forces in the millinewton range. The result is that true 3D measurements that permit form and position statements are possible. Carl Zeiss IMT Ph: 763-744-2409 Web site: www.zeiss.com/metrology
Digital Finish Boring Range
Digital diameter readouts allow for adjustments of 0.000050" (0.0013 mm), eliminating the need for multiple readjustments and driving down the setup cost of any application. Reaping such production rewards is as easy as a simple swap with an
drawbar force weakens, clamping force on the toolholder is diminished which leads to excessive harmonics, chatter and ultimately a machine crash. JM Performance Products Inc. Ph: 800-322-7750 Web site: www.jmperformance products.com
Ring Groove Cutter Excelerator Milling system and its new Ring Max II and III ring-groove cutter lines, all using whisker-reinforced ceramic inserts, will be showcased. Excelera- tor Mills are designed for high-performance milling
in difficult-to-machine materials using advanced carbide or ceramic inserts. Typical application areas include most hardened materials above Rc 40 and nickel and cobalt-based super alloys. Ring Max ring-groove cutters are engineered

existing Kaiser analog head. The Series 112, 310 and 318 digital models are otherwise identical to their predecessors. They exhibit the same range and geometry so it is possible to swap an analog for a digital model without any reprogram- ming. In addition, this series uses the same accessories as its non-digital counterparts, meaning that existing boring bars and insert holders from the Kaiser analog tool can be used.

Electronic Strain Gage
Electronic version of the ClampForce Gage, a universal gage designed for checking draw- bar force, is available. The gage has adapt- ers available to check V-Flange, Capto, HSK, and KM spindles. The new electronic strain gage features an LCD digital screen, memory recall, and multiple machine memory stor- age. Included is a software package that can be used to program the gage and give an alert of change of drawbar force. Monitoring the drawbar is important for scheduling machine maintenance and increasing tool life. As
