Guide Bush Unit
An innovative and advanced Guide bush system developed by Star that has realized trouble-free operation with unprecedented speed and precision.
In former times, operators had difficulty managing the variations in bar diameters. The revolutionary system provides a system that is pneumatically controlled to grip both ground or drawn bar stock within a 30 micron tolerance.
- No longer is it necessary to adjust guide bushes or for the control to overcome the problem.
- No longer is it necessary to constantly measure bars and adjust accordingly.
- The rotary magic guide bush is at all times controlled by constant air pressure.
- The clearance between the guide bush and the material is always at zero.
- The guide bush system automatically adjusts to suit the material size.
Neither control administration of material diameter nor G.B adjustment needed
Just until now
- For small diameter material in particular, it was necessary to make selection by measuring diameters of material by micrometer beforehand.
- It was also necessary to make adjustment of guide bushing at each time of introducing a different batch of material.
- From now on
Guide bushing is all the times fastened tight by constant air pressure.
- The clearance between guide bushing and material is always kept nil, even when material diameter changes.
- Drawn material, if diameter dispersion is within 0.03mm, can be used.
Setting method
- Turn the air pressure OFF and tighten the adjusting nut to such an extent that the material can be moved in and out lightly by hand.
- Next, turn the air pressure ON and adjust the pressure while putting in and out the material by hand. Setting is thus completed. It is as simple as that.
* Even for machining drawn bar stock (tolerance within 0.03mm), same precision as that for ground bar stock is available. Material cost can be greatly saved.
