Slim Sections give improved Clamp Performance

It is common in some precision machines that columns which carry devices like spindle head, require to be indexed about their axes. This is required for facilitating desired device orientation relative to a reference as for instance the job that is to be machined. Once oriented however, the column needs to be firmly clamped to prevent any further rotation, during machining time. Firm clamping is vital because any slip would adversely affect the workpiece.
