RSD Technologies Long Point Live Center
The RSD Technologies Long Point Live Center is specifically designed for applications requiring additional clearance and enhanced workpiece accessibility. Featuring an extended point profile with a reduced neck diameter behind the center, this design allows cutting tools to machine closer to the supported workpiece without interference from the center body.
Manufactured from hardened, precision-ground components and supported by a robust bearing system, the Long Point Live Center delivers exceptional accuracy, rigidity, and durability while providing increased reach for complex machining operations. The coolant deflector helps shield critical bearing components from coolant and chip contamination, ensuring reliable performance in demanding production environments.
This design is especially beneficial when machining small diameters, intricate profiles, or parts requiring tool access near the center support point.
