Roemheld 5-Axis vice systems lift Aerospace production

Roemheld estimates that Aerospace contractors generally spend just 10% to 15% of their lead times on the actual cutting of components. This opportunity for end users to optimise the remaining 85% - 90% of production down-time by increasing throughput, has led to an increased need for 5-Axis machining technology.

Roemheld 5-Axis vice systems have been designed to meet the specific demands of 5-axis machining within the Aerospace industry. The Roemheld vice systems enable the workpiece to be positioned at maximum height on the table and the adjustable clamping forces will meet a wide range of applications and cutting conditions. The vice systems are highly flexible and jaw changing is fast and efficient.

With Roemheld 5-Axis vice systems, the spindle tooling is kept as short as possible for rigidity and allows maximum cutting forces to be applied. Free access to the workpiece, which is absolutely essential for optimum and complete machining of a workpiece on all sides, is also provided. Improved productivity and repeatability along with high rigidity and improved surface finish greatly improve the speed of machining and increase throughput and production line efficiency
