Simulating vibrations is difcult; it depends on many factors. In the design stage, simulation does not always help to fnd the geometry of a vibration-proof indexable milling cutter for broad-spectrum applications. :: Iscar Metals Inc. 877-294-7227 Retrofitted Automated Gages Designed, Manufactured, Tested and Serviced Locally by Muratec iscarmetals.com Towers Hold Parts Vertically R&R; Fixture Towers can hold parts vertically with the use of the many diferent size towers ofered from 6" to 30" (150 mm to 760 mm).
