Live Centers

CNC live centers play a vital role in enhancing the productivity, precision, and quality of machining operations. They are essential components in various industries, including aerospace, automotive, medical, and general manufacturing, where high-precision machining is required.

• Support: CNC live centers support the workpiece during machining operations, particularly during turning on lathes.
• Rotation: Live centers are designed to rotate along with the workpiece, ensuring smooth and continuous rotation without causing friction or damage to the material.
• Accuracy: By reducing deflection and vibration, CNC live centers help maintain the accuracy and dimensional integrity of machined components.
• Versatility: Live centers come in various designs and configurations to accommodate different machining requirements and workpiece geometries.
• Workpiece Control: Live centers exert pressure against the workpiece, helping to control its movement and minimize the risk of chatter or tool chatter.
• Heat Dissipation: During machining operations, heat can build up at the contact point between the live center and the workpiece. CNC live centers are often designed with features to dissipate heat efficiently, preventing thermal deformation and ensuring consistent performance.
