Vertical and horizontal installation
- The installation orientation must be specified when ordering
- When installed horizontally, WMB spirals are fitted with the larger diameter facing the direction of chip flow. With a larger diameter or longer extension, the maximum extension is reduced to 60 per cent of the value achieved with vertical installation. Furthermore, a slight sag develops in the WMB spiral, amounting to approximately 2–5 per cent of the maximum extension.
Retrofitting
- Retrofitting of WMB spirals is possible. Care must be taken to ensure that the version designed for retrofitting is used.
