Type 3 - Steady Rest with swivelling top

Suitable for workpiece diameters ranging from 400 to 1,200 mm and loads up to 30 tons. Steady rests with a swiveling top are designed for processes, for which the standstill time of the machine must be kept to minimum. Since the top can easily moved by hand, a crane is not needed even for bigger steady rests. This considerably reduces the setup time for a new application! This steady rest is only available with three quills.

This steady rest can also be fitted with the protected electronic measuring device. The steady can identify the centre of its machine and the sleeves can be preset on the basis of the workpiece diameter. This idea, which is patented, was devised by the master toolmaker, Harry Richter and then developed for application by Richter Vorrichtungsbau.
