Röhm Introduces RZM Centric Vise for Five-Axis Machining
The newly redesigned RZM Centric Vise from Röhm Products of America provides exceptional workholding rigidity and contrib- utes significantly to higher accuracy five-axis machining. The vise’s new design features clamping jaws positioned relatively high and a horizontal spindle situated at the top of the vise and closer to the jaws for unmatched stability. The jaws are shorter and complement the vice’s overall compact height of only 7.7" (195.6 mm) to keep interference to a minimum, while Röhm’s special dou- ble jaw-guidance system ensures precision position- ing. The double jaw-guid- ance system moves jaws smoothly along their axes to accommodate a wide range
of part sizes without having to remount the jaws. In operation, the first jaw moves along an outside guideway as the second jaw travels on an inside one. This quasi-telescopic arrange- ment allows for a greater guidance length without placing any significant limits on machining operations. When fully opened, the RZM presents little, if any, interference, and its telescoping design allows the jaws to close to the zero point. For small or fragile parts, Röhm’s SKB claw jaws are an idea attachment for the RZM. These jaws securely clamp unfinished parts at depths as shallow as 0.078" (1.98 mm). Hardened claws on the jaws create an interlocking hold for extremely strong clamping, but with minimal required force and only a slight loss of material.

cross-train employ- ees on a variety of machines. Software operates on 32- or 64-bit PCs with Mi- crosoft Windows 7 or 8 operating systems. Update adds im- proved functions in
Automatic Video Edge Detection, Auto Focus functionality, and CNC capabilities for video inspection machine users, who will now have a wide range of options enabling automated, hands- free inspection. CMM users can use the optional 3D Profiling capability which offers graphic evaluation of 3D contours, com- paring CAD files (either STEP or IGES) to the actual measured part. The software also supports multiple models of Renishaw touch probe heads, bodies and tips. Heidenhain Corp. Ph: 877-565-9151

Laser Calibration Software
New version of XCal-View software brings an updated look, increased functionality and greater flexibility to laser calibra- tion data analysis. The first part of a planned suite of new software covering data capture, analysis and error compensa- tion, the software is compatible with Renishaw’s ML10, XL-80 and XR20-W rotary axis laser calibration systems. It features a new, simplified inter- face that allows users to select, edit and for- mat data in a variety of graph formats. The software’s improved generic error compen-
sation function now allows assessment of machine errors and creation of linear compensation files. The software’s compare function overlays multiple data sets on the same screen, espe- cially useful when monitoring the effect of mechanical and servo adjustments or comparing different types of data sets, such as linear and yaw errors.
