FAQ JBS Flexible Guide Bushing System
The JBS Flexible Guide Bushing System for double cone collets has been developed to guide and/or clamp material bars with fluctuating outside diameter in rotating condition in an automatic lathe. The flexible guide bushing system is driven by a toothed belt, a gear wheel, a driver or synchronous drive. Opening, closing and clamping of the collets is done by a pneumatic system with adjustable thrust piece. The thrust piece presses the collets against the fixed spindle cap, and the collets begin to close, enclosing the material rod. The JBS Guide Bushing System is controlled by 4 freely programmable M-commands in the machine.
Please note that we need your complete guide bushing system for conversion if you want to convert from 20mm to 25mm or if you want to convert from double cone to pull system. We will be happy to advise you about the conversion kit.
When struggling with significant chip problems, a blow-out unit can be helpful. When using a blow-out unit, the chips are blown out of the jackscrew and the collets.
