9 Tailstock
The basic 0850 model is offered with the manual type tailstock as standard. An optional semi-
automated pneumatic version of the tailstock is also available for low to medium production
applications.
In addition, Matrix also offer a fully automated travelling tailstock which is better suited for high
volume production applications of where the machine operation is entirely automated using a gantry
type robot for part load and unload.
Note: All tailstock variants are designed to accept a No.4 MT dead centre only.
9.1 Manual Tailstock (standard)
The tailstock sits on the worktable across the Vee-and-flat ways and it can be clamped in any position
to suit the length of the workpiece to be ground.
Note: this only applies to the standard manual or pneumatic tailstock versions.
