Bad Center Holes? Riten Has a Solution
11.11.2014
Bad center holes are an occasional nuisance, but with the new Adjusta-Point Live Center from Riten Industries, Inc., a member of Partners in THINC, users have a tool to turn them from scrap into accurately machined parts. The Adjusta-Point radial compensating live center is designed specifically for applications when a workpiece’s center hole is not quite on center. The adjustable point locates in the center hole, centering the part by offsetting the deviation. The process is similar to indicating a part using a 4-jaw chuck. The center is equipped with four external adjusting screws that can move the point up to .030” in any direction. It is currently available in 3, 4 and 5 Morse tapers, with additional tapers by request. Maximum speed is 3,000 RPM, and workpiece weights range from 1,500 lbs. to 4,500 lbs.
