The SF 87 coordinate measuring machine (CMM) features a small footprint and multi-sensor capability easily integrated into a manufacturing process near-line or inline using the WENZEL Automation Interface (WAI). It offers 5-axis measuring technology and temperature compensation for workshop and production use.
High travel speeds and accelerations ensure high productivity. Tactile probes paired with optical sensors increase measuring efficiency and ensure process control.

Live tool speed multipliers
A line of 1:4 live tool speed multipliers in 24,000rpm max. styles are available for all popular live tool lathes. The speed multipliers are provided as axial [shown] or radial drilling and milling heads, with either external or internal coolant design and mounting configurations to suit many machine tool turret setups, including all VDI and BMT sizes.
Speed multipliers for Haas and Nakamura machines are in stock with others in production for short lead time deliveries.

Rough, mirror-finish face milling cutter
The FM10 PNMU provides high-productivity rough face milling and outstanding surface finishes with the same indexable inserts and cutter. With 10 cutting edges, the FM10 achieves 30% higher feed rates than typical 45° face mills, achieving surface finishes in the low double-digit (or better) Ra – well beyond what other roughing cutters can do.
For instance, the FM10 produced a finish of ~Ra 22µin at a 79.1in3/min MMR. With the same cutter and inserts, it proceeded to produce a brilliant finish of Ra 6.2µin.
