vhf engraving and milling systems have always been universally applicable. Now a new and improved cutting unit with drag knife which can be used in addition to the spindle is being offered. So the possibility of cutting film can be added to all vhf CAM systems.

While milling, frayed cutting edges and workpieces which loosen from the vacuum table can be a problem every now and then. However, a new special tool with an extraordinary geometry remedies this matter. The flute of this milling cutter has a left-hand twist instead of a right-hand twist and presses the workpiece downwards. This enables a more gentle treatment of the workpiece.

Working on stainless steel requires a special geometry of the tools. In response to numerous requests of metal-working users from industry, sign making or engraving business, vhf has extended its range of tools by an engraver's milling cutter for stainless steel.

vhf, manufacturer of engraving and milling systems, has closed a gap between the previous range of rotary current spindles and the much more expensive high frequency spindles. The new SPC 1000 has a nominal power of 1,000 watt and a speed range of up to 30,000 RPM - the fastest rotary current spindle until then only had a speed range of up to 20,000 RPM.

Engraving and milling systems by vhf are being used more and more frequently for model and mold making purposes. The big response on the two Euromold fairs in 2001 and 2002 has proved this fact, too. Thus, vhf have completed their range of tools - the well-established universal double tooth cutter is now also available with a face radius.

Many users of Apple computers want to control their engraving and milling machines directly. After all, these computers are being very frequently used for DTP and design applications. So the rate of Macintosh users among the sign makers is also above average. For the first time, the new version 3.50 of the CAM production software Cenon allows to mill and engrave graphics, fonts or logos from the numerous design and layout programs.

vhf has developed a handy helper with which the time-consuming calibration of the z zero point on engraving and milling machines becomes redundant. This new adjustment unit can be used to calibrate the zero point within seconds at highest accuracy. Especially when it is often the case that workpieces with different thickness have to be processed, this saving of time pays off quickly.

vhf, a leading manufacturer of engraving and milling systems from Ammerbuch near Stuttgart in South West Germany, has extended its range of tools by a circular thread cutter. This special tool is a multifunctional thread cutter and a tapping drill at the same time. It cuts the thread in the same working cycle in which also the thread hole is being milled.

The wastage of tools is especially high when hard metal types like steel or stainless steel have to be engraved. On top of that, it is only possible to move at low rates of feed. To avoid these problems, it is better to emboss the inscriptions than to engrave them. So all vhf CAM systems can be equipped now with a dot embossing unit that is powered by compressed air.
