It is particularly suitable for the efficient handling of small production batches.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">How the FRB Automatic Centering Device Works<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The FRB Automatic Centering Device enables the centering of the ends of both round and polygonal bars quickly and extremely efficiently. The system allows a centering operation to be completed on average every <strong>10\u201315 seconds<\/strong>, significantly speeding up the production process.<\/p>\n<p>The device can be installed on a standard pillar drill or radial drilling machine equipped with a <strong>Morse Taper No. 2 (MT2)<\/strong> and provides a centering accuracy of <strong>0.10 mm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Its operating principle is based on two axially sliding components:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The central spindle;<\/li>\n<li>The hollow bushing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>During operation, the hollow bushing rests on the diameter of the workpiece to be centered, while the spindle, connected to the drill spindle, continues its stroke and performs the center drilling operation. This system ensures accurate centering in a short time and with great ease of use.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Main Advantages<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The use of the FRB Automatic Centering Device offers numerous benefits for machine shops and production departments.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Reduced Cycle Times<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Thanks to the speed of the centering operation, operators are provided with a simple and functional tool without the need for complex or expensive machinery.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #000000;\">High Accuracy<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The 0.10 mm accuracy ensures reliable and repeatable results, which are essential for high-quality machining operations.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Easy Installation<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The device can be used on standard pillar drills or radial drilling machines equipped with an MT2 connection, eliminating the need for investment in new equipment.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Versatility<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The system is suitable for centering round and polygonal bars of different diameters through the use of interchangeable bushings.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">System Components<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The FRB Automatic Centering Device is supplied as a complete kit consisting of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Complete rotating spindle with MT2 taper.<\/li>\n<li>Hollow bushings for diameters:\n<ul>\n<li>\u00d8 9\u201327 mm<\/li>\n<li>\u00d8 15\u201337 mm<\/li>\n<li>\u00d8 30\u201352 mm<\/li>\n<li>\u00d8 42\u201362 mm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Base with integrated conical bushing from \u00d8 9 to \u00d8 62 mm made of CMT-TMP steel.<\/li>\n<li>Set of precision-ground center drill bushings for:\n<ul>\n<li>\u00d8 6 mm<\/li>\n<li>\u00d8 6.3 mm<\/li>\n<li>\u00d8 8 mm<\/li>\n<li>\u00d8 10 mm<\/li>\n<li>\u00d8 12 mm<\/li>\n<li>\u00d8 12.5 mm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Centering unit stop rod.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All components are also available individually as spare parts or for custom configurations.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Recommendations for Optimal Use<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To achieve the best performance, FRB recommends machining a small flat on the outer diameter of the center drill before installation. This simple precaution improves clamping and prevents the center drill from rotating.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, to ensure the correct axial positioning of the center drill, the rear adjustment screw can be accessed through the hole provided in the drill-holder bushing. Then position the dedicated <strong>Centering Shaft<\/strong> to align the base with the center drill.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A Reliable Solution for the Modern Workshop<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The FRB Automatic Centering Device is a practical, precise and cost-effective solution for companies wishing to equip operators with dedicated centering equipment. Thanks to its simple design, compatibility with conventional drilling machines and quick operation, it enables efficient and repeatable small-batch production while maintaining high quality standards.<\/p>\n<p>Reliable, versatile and easy to use, the FRB Automatic Centering Device proves to be an indispensable tool for optimizing centering operations and improving workshop productivity.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Browse the brochure!<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tecnologiefrb.com\/en\/3d-flip-book\/centratore-automatico\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"iconapdf alignnone wp-image-9880\" title=\"Scarica pdf\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tecnologiefrb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/pdf-icon-150x150.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width:767px) 88px, 88px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tecnologiefrb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/pdf-icon-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.tecnologiefrb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/pdf-icon-146x146.png 146w, https:\/\/www.tecnologiefrb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/pdf-icon-50x50.png 50w, https:\/\/www.tecnologiefrb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/pdf-icon-75x75.png 75w, https:\/\/www.tecnologiefrb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/pdf-icon-85x85.png 85w, https:\/\/www.tecnologiefrb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/pdf-icon-80x80.png 80w, https:\/\/www.tecnologiefrb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/pdf-icon.png 256w\" alt=\"PDF\" width=\"88\" height=\"88\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Practicality, Simplicity and Productivity in a Single Device The FRB Automatic Centering Device is designed to facilitate centering operations by supporting the machine operator.
