SCHAUMBURG, Ill. - Feb. 11, 2014 - PRLog -- Depth and availability of precision workholding solutions is critical to help customers maintain stable throughput and productivity. To ensure customers can acquire the appropriate workholding for their needs, Kitagawa-NorthTech is constantly adding new products to meet every need. Recently, Kitagawa-NorthTech added five new high precision steady rests to their fleet of workholding offerings:  GHS Series, FRUN Series, VGHS Series, HL80130 and the HS160SAL.

·         GHS steady rests exhibit high accuracy clamping and are ideal for standard grinding applications such as cylinder, camshaft and camlobe.

·         FRUN steady rests are fully sealed and command precision and performance. FRUN’s are compact in size and allows for easy mounting on flat or slant bed lathes.

·         The VGHS series helps stabilize cylinders and camshafts during grinding. This model’s innovative design features a top arm that fully opens for loading components to the machine center. This opening can be identified by a sensor integrated within the steady.

·         HL80130 and HS160SAL are new heavy duty steady rests that exhibit superior control while stabilizing components from ten to forty tons.

The addition of these new models allows Kitagawa-NorthTech to provide machine shops with one of the most robust steady rest selections in the market. To learn more visit www.kitagawa.com/products/steady-rests/.
