Technical Details 
Technical Details 
Precision and Robust ConstructionBuilt from high-quality cast iron, this bench center provides exceptional rigidity and durability. Machine-ground surfaces ensure top-grade flatness, maintaining surface accuracy within 0.01 mm. Hardened and ground centers offer reliable location for cylindrical specimens, supporting even demanding metrology applications.
Flexible and Adjustable for Diverse SpecimensWith adjustable centers and a free-standing design, the bench center adapts to various job lengths and specimen sizes. Supported workpieces can measure up to 500 mm between centers, while the center distance options (300 mm, 500 mm, 1000 mm) accommodate a wide array of inspection tasks in manufacturing or quality assurance settings.
Comprehensive Accessories and Practical UsageSupplied with interchangeable centers, clamping screws, and leveling feet, this equipment is optimized for easy setup and alignment. Compatible with dial gauges (not included), it excels in both manual inspection routines and precise measurement of eccentricity or concentricity, making it highly beneficial for workshops and labs.
FAQs of Cast Iron Bench Center:
Q: How does the Cast Iron Bench Center ensure accurate measurement of concentricity and eccentricity in cylindrical jobs?
A: The bench center utilizes precisely ground and parallel centers, combined with a machine-ground flat surface, to provide stable and accurate positioning for specimens. When used with a dial gauge (not included), it enables reliable measurement of concentricity and eccentricity within an accuracy of 0.005 mm.
Q: What is the typical process for setting up specimens on the bench center for inspection?
A: Specimens are placed between the interchangeable and adjustable hardened centers. Clamping screws secure the specimen, and leveling feet are adjusted for stability. The position of the centers can be easily modified along the base to accommodate different job lengths, ensuring optimal alignment during inspection.
Q: Where is the Cast Iron Bench Center commonly used for quality inspection and metrology tasks?
A: This equipment is predominantly used in inspection and metrology labs, tool rooms, and workshops where manual, high-precision verification of cylindrical workpieces is required. It benefits applications in manufacturing, quality control, and research environments.
Q: What are the benefits of using interchangeable and ground centers in this bench center model?
A: Interchangeable, hardened, and ground centers provide flexibility to adapt to different specimen sizes and maintain high accuracy. The ground surfaces ensure minimal wear and precise alignment, reducing errors and enhancing measurement reliability over prolonged usage.
Q: When should the centers be adjusted along the base, and how is this done?
A: The centers should be adjusted when the specimen length varies or when inspecting workpieces of different sizes within the supported measuring range. Adjustment is manual; simply reposition the centers along the base and secure them using the provided clamping screws to suit the job length.
Q: What kind of workpiece capacities and specimen sizes can this bench center support?
A: Depending on the model, the bench center supports workpieces up to 60 kg and specimen sizes up to 500 mm between centers. Center height options and measuring ranges vary, ensuring suitability for a wide spectrum of inspection jobs.
Q: Is the equipment suitable for use in environments with high humidity and temperature variations?
A: Yes, the bench center is recommended for operation in environments with up to 85% relative humidity and temperatures ranging from 5C to 40C, making it suitable for standard workshop and laboratory conditions.
