There are two types of steady rests available in the market – manual steady rest and hydraulic steady rests. Hydraulic steady rests are automatic self centering workholding devices. Hydraulic steady rests are programmable, which means so can be used in cycles. With the use of hydraulic type steady rest, the work becomes more efficient as …
When it comes to work holding equipment in CNC industrial applications, steady rests are predominantly considered as the best solution for keeping the workpiece stable while performing various operations of the piece. Interestingly, for different applications such as grinding, crankshaft turning, heavy duty work etc. special types of steady rests are used. Basically, there are …
If an individual is new to machining, steady rests are a somewhat overawing tool when it comes to machining but they’re very important tools in every type of CNC work. Normally when you are working with long stock, in order to provide rigidity to the workpiece, it should be close to chuck. Conversely, in some …
Steady rests are used for workpiece support. They are specially used when the machine is not able to handle a workpiece. There are various reasons why you should consider the usage of steady rests into your turning machine. A steady rest will be helpful in minimizing the distortion in the workpiece which can arise due …
Steady rests are a great way to improve the efficiency of a CNC or lathe machine in processes like grinding, milling, boring et cetera. Anytime when the length of material is larger and longer, it’s better to have secondary work holding devices such as steady rests. Ideally, a steady rest is used to hold a …
