MTS, ATS, & BTS Tailstocks Assist Machining of Long, Skinny Parts

ITI-Exact MTS, ATS and BTS tailstocks accommodate heavy and/or long piece parts are being machined on non-lifting Indexing and NC Rotary Tables.

MTS model is actuated via an operator rotating the hand wheel until the required pressure is reached; the ATS has an air or hydraulic cylinder attached, which provides more automated operation. Both are typically used when machining long slender piece parts on a machining center, milling or grinding machine.

The heavy-duty BTS Series is fitted with a hydraulic distortion-free brake assembly, which is actuated after rotation is completed; this ensures maximum rigidity and accommodates high-cutting loads on the piece parts, and are also often incorporated in the design of multi-sided “tombstone” fixturing for machining centers.
