Simple but fast pre-positioning of workpieces when they are inserted into the lathe. The workpiece is picked up via prism and brought into its intended vertical positions. This serves to relieve the operation and protect the machine from falling workpieces.

Simple and fast pre-positioning of workpieces when they are inserted into the lathe. An automatically adjustable intermediate stop, positions the workpiece in their horizontal position. This speeds up the loading process on the machine as well as makes it safer.

Positioning of the damping steady rest on the lower bed of the lathe. The hydraulically adjustable support rollers allow the targeted elimination of oscillations and vibrations when machining thin-walled tubes. This leads to higher process reliability and quality.
