Zero-Max ETP Shaft Locking Bushings Provide the Solution In Static Locking Applications
Every setup operator’s goal when preparing a tool setup is to load, locate, lock and operate the setup in seconds without problems. The challenges are basically the same whether setting up a machining center or power transmission system. A static application can have the same demands as dynamic. The setup steps for both must be simple – the fewer components, the better. And the locating and locking process must be very precise and equally repeatable so the system startup is flawless from the get-go.
