Tailstock
is the second most important part of the machine when it
comes to accuracy and easy of getting the parts into
size. Studer tail stock is well built to take anywhere
from 136 KG to 150KG of part. IT is also built in a way
you cna make a quick adjustment for taper. It is all going to depend
on how well the barrel is matched into the bore. If it
smooth and no wear your parts will come out time and
time again right. If there is no coolant filled into the
casting of the tailstock you can adjust the tailstock
for 50 Micron deviation. This movement has to be linear
, nice and smooth all the way. It all depends on how well it
is torqued and setup while assembly. The barrel and the hole has to matched to
perfection.
Rebuilding your tailstock at our facility:
There are two aspects to the tailstock.
Top portion
- Fixing the tailstock on the top side is
all parts and the hole in which the barrel
is seated. That can be fixed at our location
and painted and sent back in 7 days like
new.
Bottom Portion:
This gets to be tricky. The tailstock has to
be matched to the machine. The table height,
wheel head height and the work head height
all has to be matched. We cannot grind these
sections to match your machine unless
otherwise we are in front of the machine and
take measurements. Then we may have to grind
whatever is easier to grind and test it
again. It can sometimes take two or
three trails. Even to start that, the table
has to come off and all the swarf needs
cleaned out of the bottom and make sure the
table has no bow and sitting properly. The
height and the face need to be machined to
get the correct height and straightness with
respect to how much wear is on your workhead.
Some time table face has to be ground to
begin with. It is an art. When we rebuild a
machine in our shop this alignment can take
us from 1 week to 3 weeks. You are looking
at 5000 to 25,000/-
Now that you can understand the complexity,
if you want us to rebuild YOUR tailstock
we are more than happy to do it. But we
cannot do anything to the bottom of the
tailstock without having your table, work
head and the tailstock. We can do the top
section working for you in 7 days.
We do the above mentioned steps in our
facility and when you get a machine
from us the centerline height is matched to
perfection. The difference between a machine
serviced and rebuilt is, we not only change
the parts, but also match the machine to
perfection. Grinding is about matching the
parts.
Options - There are 3 different heights.
125, 175 and 225 mm. There are two different
barrel strokes 35 and 50 mm. There are power
options available. Any tailstock can be made
into a power tailstock with some added
parts.
