ers tendering a majority of Accelrys’ outstanding shares in the tender offer. Autodesk Inc. (San Rafael) announced Feb. 6 it has completed its acquisition of CAM software developer Delcam plc (Birmingham, UK). Delcam share- holders voted in January to accept Autodesk’s offer to acquire Delcam. Au- todesk originally announced its intent to acquire Delcam on November 7, 2013 for £20.75 per share, valued at approxi- mately £172.5 million, or about $286 million, using non-US-based cash. Autodesk said Delcam will operate as a wholly owned, independently oper- ated subsidiary of Autodesk, with no sig- nificant changes planned for Delcam’s business. The transaction is expected to have no impact on Autodesk’s guidance issued on November 26, 2013, and Autodesk expects the transaction to be dilutive to its non-GAAP earnings in fis- cal 2015 and accretive to its non-GAAP earnings in fiscal 2016.
Our NC vise is available with an integrated force gauge which tells you how much holding force is being applied to your workpiece. Minimal effort on the crank handle results in extremely high holding force because of the built-in hydraulic power of the vise. Now you’ll know if your part is being held properly.
• Better clamping quality • Correct clamping force every time • Consistent process control • Reduced tool breakage • Workpiece deformation reduced • Ideal for roughing and finishing • Reduced operator fatigue
