Steady Rest for Grinding
Arms grinding steady rest is an apt design for holding long slender cylindrical jobs. This steady can be specially used in CNC as well as a manual grinding machine by its compatibility of programming & interfacing with the CNC system. Arms steady rests are designed to get the optimum results in accurate grinding of long slender jobs. Arms steady rests are designed for getting high productivity by eliminating rejection and the setting time of manual steady rests. Arms steady rests are designed according to the customers’ requirements of job sizes. These are hydraulically operated steady rests. Side-mounted and rear-mounted cylinder designs are also available according to the bed design of the machine. Arms steady rests are at par to the international standard by manufacturing & design yet very competitive in price! These steady rests are dimensionally interchangeable with any other similar models available in the market.
Application
- Machining of Long Slender Shafts
- Automatic Holding of Jobs In CNC grinding Machines
- Crank Shaft Machining
- For Grinding Applications
Salient Features
- The Steady Rest Can Be Used For Any Machine Including CNC grinders With a Suitable Bracket
- The Steady Can Also Be Used As A Travelling Steady Hence No Need Of A Follower Rest !!!
- High centering accuracy because *real cam technology* used
- Pass through grinding possible
- Continues support while part being ground
- Repeatability Is Within 2 Microns !!!!!!!!
Working Principle
The steady rest consists of 3 arms assembled in a steel body with carbide pads at the arms for holding the workpiece. The center one brings the other two arms in a circular movement to hold the center of the workpiece. This helps to get the repeatability, consistency, and centering accuracy The center arm is operated by a hydraulic, pneumatic cylinder, or servo motor.
