This video explains how a Gosiger-developed aftermarket steady rest interface with an integrated operator control panel allows the CNC machine operator to control and monitor the steady rest, and provides program setup without switching screens.
Key features are:
- Manual steady rest operation including open/close, tow pin advance/retract, tailstock chuck open/close
- Monitoring of steady rest Z-Axis position
- System Link
- Barcode scanning calls up correct program and offsets
- Operator can set stroke size and configure cap and head port drilling location
- Operator Cycle Starts from APP without interaction with OSP control
