ROHM SLZV - self-centering steady rests - Handbuch (Seite 12)

It is recommended to carry out the fine adjustment of steady
rest whilst the work piece is centre on the steady rest with
an offset along the positive X axis and Y axis of about 0.01
mm.
Minor errors (<= 0.02 mm) along the X axis can be
corrected as follows:
-- Undo and retract the clamping arm.
-- Undo the clamping screw on the fine adjustment
(do not remove).
-- Apply a low torque to set the 11 mm (brass)
adjustment nut according to the direction +/--.
-- Move forward and clamp the clamping arms.
-- Check the radial run.
-- Either re--adjust (clamping arms retracted) or
tighten the clamping screw (approx. 1 Nm).
Note:
In delivery condition the fine adjustment is in centre position
(steel bolt and adjustment nut in one level). The maximum
permissible adjustment travel of the steel bolt is +/-- 2 to 3
mm, depending on the size of the steady rest. In the pro-
cess, the centre moves by a maximum of +/-- 0.12 mm.
7 Adjust the centring position along the Y axis according to
the reading on the measuring gauge.
8 Open the steady rest and retract the arms.
9 The spacer units for the height adjustment of the Y axis
have been made thicker so as to be able to lower them per-
mitting the group to be adjusted to the height of the centring
points of the machine.
