84 www.CNC-West.com CNC WEST October/November 2017 New Products because the VH10 head will replace the VH12, which is not a Zimmermann product. Alongside the VH20, VH30 and VH60, the VH10 is now the small- est head in the range. Users will also benefit from the fact that Zimmermann has suitable spare heads in stock and can supply them on request in the event of stoppages, for example, due to a crash. Thanks to its slender design, the VH10 spindle head has only minimal interference contours. Compared to the VH12, it achieves almost double the clamping force. This is due to the fact that Zimmermann fits two side cheeks instead of one onto the unit. The VH10 is therefore considerably more stable in operation. In order to minimize throughput times, a powerful 34 kW spindle with a maximum speed of 24,000 rpm is used in the milling head as standard. DuraMax CMM’s Provide a Range of Capabilities —Zeiss Zeiss will introduce its line of Du- raMax coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) for application flexibility. Zeiss said these machines are made to handle challenging production envi- ronments while providing a range of capabilities, including the essentials, four-axis measurements with a rotary table and high-temperature-resistant options. The rotary table option enables four-axis scanning with a footprint 60 percent smaller than the old design. Measuring rotationally symmetric
