Key Features
THE QUICKEST AND MOST ACCURATE SETTING-UP SYSTEM AVAILABLE
Strong face plate system with integrated four-way adjustment and solid mechani-cal locking system allows easy, accurate and fast operations.Variable 30° and 72° indexing with +/-1° fine adjustment is standard on all machines. Dynamic ba-lance is obtained by reading a manome-ter on the headstock motor – a must for the best result.
U-MACHINE TAILSTOCK
All U-machines feature a hydraulic tailstock.A manometer allows direct reading of the centre pressure corre-sponding to the weight of the crank-shaft.Adjustment of the centre pressure is hydraulic.
ANTIFRICTION COATING
Antifriction coating underneath the entire length of the table ensures smooth and precise operation, long life and elimination of stick-slip.
BALLSCREW
Maintenance free hardened ballscrews and nuts allows backlash-free stroke setting in seconds.
HEAVY DUTY STEADY REST
Heavy-duty steady rest for large crankshafts. Essential for big jobs
SET-UP INDICATOR
Set-up indicator with quick set dialgauge. No tools required for placement or removal.
V-GAUGE
Crank centering V-gauge allows fast positioning of journals
LENGTH OF STROKE
The device for measuring length of stroke gives a direct reading for quick throw-setting.
COUNTERWEIGHTS
Extra counterweights can be fitted on a standard machine for balancing large crankshafts. Essential for heavy-duty work.
