Medical

The medical industry creates a unique challenge for a work holding supplier. Comprised of hundreds of companies producing medical hardware, precision surgical instruments, medical cases, implants and related parts, this industry is in constant change. Companies routinely manufacture products from exotic materials that are machined to closely held tolerances. Due to the very tight working environment, surgical tools and hardware are typically very small in diameter and extremely long in length. The combination of these factors places unique demands on the workholding products used in these applications.

Riten Industries has a comprehensive catalog of standard live centers, dead centers, and face drivers capable of performing in these challenging and diverse applications. From our Light and X-Light live centers for extremely small parts, to our Concentric spring loaded live centers popular on sub-spindle machines, or our Sprint and Advantage live centers where heavier loads are experienced; Riten Industries has the right product for the job.

Versatility

Our standard face drivers feature the capability to turn a large range of part diameters, from small transmission shafts to very large shafts used in pulverizing machinery. At one large Midwest gear manufacturer our standard 48FM face driver holds a family of shafts during both the roughing and finish turning operations. Major work piece diameters range from under three inches to over fourteen inches in diameter. Riten face drivers are often used in conjunction with CNC Heavy Duty live centers. Depending on the taper, Heavy Duty live centers can support part weights in excess of twenty thousand pounds, while Super Duty live centers can support part weights in excess of sixty thousand pounds.
