Rotator positioner
January 1st 2011 Brixworth Engineering has
supplied a special purpose
Benco rotator positioner for
use in the cold mill of a major
international steelworks.
The product comprises a
headstock unit fixed to
parallel floor mounted rails. A
tailstock, also supplied, can be
moved and clamped at any
position along the rails. This
provides full adjustment to
accommodate varying lengths
of workpieces up 3.5m.
The headstock height is
fixed and centred to enable
workpieces from 40 to
500mm diameter, with
loadings up to 1000kg, to be
attached. In the event that
loads can be clamped at one
end only, an adjustable steady
unit is provided to supply the
necessary load support at the
unclamped end.
This steady is also rail
mounted and can be adjusted
for lateral position as well as
height of support, utilising a
scissor lift mechanism with
free rotating rollers fitted at
the point of load contact. More articles from The Brixworth Engineering Co Ltd: |
