SYNCHRONOUS TAILSTOCK GREATER FLEXIBILITY, GREATER PRODUCTIVITY WITH A SYNCHRONIZED TAILSTOCK DRIVE A member of the UNITED GRINDING Group

The tailstock, which is synchronously driven to the workhead, increases the drive torque using the friction of the centres in the workpiece. In the simplest case two standard centers are sufficient, whether in conventional or high-speed grinding at 140 m/s. The omission of an additional workpiece drive facilitates complete machining of the workpiece in a single clamping. This increases the form and position accuracy on the ground workpiece. Automated workpiece changes are easy to set up. Thanks to the programmable stroke of 120 mm and the definition of reference lengths, part families with a...
