5.7 U-steady rest
To place the optional U-steady rest on the machine the following steps
need to be followed:
1. Clean the guiding and the feet of the steady rest to avoid
damaging on the machine frame or steady rest.
2. Place the steady rest on the machine frame.
3. Put the clamping block (6) underneath the guiding of the
machine frame. Place the 4 bolts (5) and tighten these.
4. When the steady rest is on the correct position tighten the
bolts (5) until the clamping block is clamped.
To remove the steady rest of the machine, follow the above described
steps reversed. We recommend to avoid placing the steady rest on the
feet outside the feet to avoid damaging the precision guides.
Loading the machine with the steady rest:
1. Untighten the lever (2) on the front side of the steady rest until bolt can be released.
2. Open the steady rest by lifting the upper part and rotate it.
3. Load the machine, loose the locking of the mandrel (4). Adjust the mandrel by rotating the hand wheel
(1) until the work piece is well aligned. Lock the mandrels by using the screw (4).
4. Close the steady rest and tighten the locking (2)
The maximum load of the steady rest is 550kg.
