The People behind FAR

FAR was started when Fenwick Thomas and R. Ravi; both graduate
Engineers; decided to put together their combined skills and
experience; to start a machine tool company that would be on par
with any of the leading international companies. In this endeavor
they were guided by Mr. P Radhakrishnan, MS (WISCONSIN, USA)
who is a renowned technocrat and Machine designer.
To fulfill this dream, over the years we have built a team of highly
qualified and experienced personnel. Many of them have been with
us since its inception; their dedicated efforts have gone a long way
in making FAR a truly international company. The team is up-todate with all the newest technological advances in the industry.
As part of its CSR initiative FAR also has a training department which
conducts a one year training programs for very young boys from
financially weak background. These boys undergo both classroom
as well as on the Job training on machines.
This is FARs ongoing program of giving back to the society, to help
build a future for these young individuals.

FAR is committed to innovation of its

products, both in terms of design and
functionality. We have a highly motivated
research and development team that
is constantly working to improve our
products. We also work on customizing as
per our clients requirements.
with the latest star-of-the-art technology and

equipment. Every product starts at the design center
where they are designed using the latest CAD/CAM
software. Once the design is approved it then goes
to the planning section which chalks out a schedule
for all the stages. From planning it proceeds to the
production section which comprises of the machine
shop, the quality department and the assembly
section. Almost all production is done in-house on the
shop floor that is equipped with CNC turning center
and VMCs, jigboring, planning machine, cylindrical
grinding machine, surface grinders CNC wire cutting
machine etc.
Quality is checked at every stage and on every single
part. Once the final assembly is done it undergoes
a final quality check and then goes to the shipping
department.
FAR is an ISO certified company, quality

is our commitment to our clients. We
are equipped with the latest inspection
machines and processes.
Following is our Quality Policy
We are committed to provide state of

are determined to meet the customer
expectations in respect of quality, cost and

Tandem Steady Rest Fixed
Steady Rests - Turning Steadies
Steady Rest Fixed for end machining
Steady Rests
Steady rests are normally used for efficient machining of long
slender shafts. On conventional steady rests three screw 1200 apart
are adjusted manually. This type of centering process is not reliable
and depends on operators skill.
FAR self centering steady rests work on an entirely different principle.
Three rollers hold the work piece at points Approx1200 apart. These
rollers move such that they always inscribe concentric circles
between them. This feature along with the internal compensating
system prevents the dislocation of work piece center under changing
clamping pressures. This results in high centering accuracy.
FAR Steadies are made of high grade alloy steel and all parts are
fully hardened to 60 HRC, and nitrided to be 100% corrosion free.
By mounting accordingly these steady rests can be used for turning
outside diameters, inside diameters, facing, drilling, grinding ,
induction hardening etc.
Steady rests can be operated either hydraulically or pneumatically with
the only difference being the clamping cylinder bore.
In FRU series the clamping cylinder is fixed as axial extension at the
rear end. With FRU -B series the cylinder is fixed to the side of the
steady rests to save mounting space.
FAR produce two kinds of steady rests:
Steady Rests for Turning
Steady Rests for Grinding
Listed below models of steady rests:
FRU Standard steady rest with rear mounted cylinder and
diameter range from 4mm to 630mm
FRUA Steady rest with rear mounted cylinder and extra opening
for top arm. Diameter range from 8 mm to 630mm
FRUB Steady rest with side mounted cylinder and diameter
range from 12 mm to 630mm
FRUAB Steady rest with side mounted cylinder and extra opening
for top arm diameter range from 20 mm to 630mm
KRHS Steady rest with rear mounted cylinder for crank shaft
machining

Steady Rest Lubrication

Central Lubrication
Large clamping
range
Automatic centering to reduce cycle time and

increased productivity.
This lubrication system is used in heavy working conditions and high build of swarf as well
as traveling steady rest applications. The steady
rest is provided with a lubricating connection
to supply the oil to the lubricating points and
rollers through metering cartridges. The pressure
required for the lubricating pump is 10-30 bar.
High centering accuracy.

Replaceable sealing strips and provision for
compressed air connection prevents the entry of
coolant and dirt to the body of steady rests.
All standard steady rests have provision for
centralized lubrication systems.
Actuating cylinder is provided with integral
safety valve ensure support of the work piece
under sudden pressure drops.
Manual Lubrication
Additional pivoting
upper arm
for automatic
vertical loading
These are based on special cam design, which is

proved in the field.
This lubrication system is used for light duty

working conditions and low building of swarf.
The lubrication points and rollers are supplied
with grease through grease nipple and grease
gun. Steady Lubrication schedule depends
on the working conditions normally every 4-8
operating hours.
Grease: `DIN 51402
Adjustable 3 piece chip guard for outer rollers with

minimum reduction of clamping range.
Positive opening of the steady rest is ensured by
precisely engineered opening mechanism
Compact and robust designs allow the machine
tool to be used under optimum conditions.
Eccentric fine adjustment - Option
Special rollers, which have multiple sealing disks,

imported from Europe are used for the steady
rests.
Actuating cylinder can be operated either
hydraulically or pneumatically.
Eccentric roller pins on the two arms of the

steady rest allow a quick fine adjustment
These steady rests can be mounted either on

slant or flat bed lathes. Rigid and precisely made
brackets ensure centering accuracy.
of centre line. This provision helps to avoid

unlocking of the steady rest on the bracket
All internal and outside parts are case hardened

and ground to ensure highest precision and
reliability.
for small adjustments.
Middle roller and roller pocket is protected against

dirt by a roller stripper.
These are suitable for fixed as well as traveling
applications.
Optional provision for manual lubrication can be
provided.
Coolant/Air supply - Option
3-Piece Swarf guard
To avoid interference of chips with rollers and work

piece an optional built-in channel on the steady rest
feeds coolant or air from a central connecting port to
the arms of steady rest.
3 piece replaceable swarf guards made from

special material protects the rollers and other
internal parts from the dirt and swarf during the
machining.
Option of rollers

FAR steady rollers with special sealing ensure

highest precision and service life.
The steady rollers are consumable item, and
need to replace..
FAR provide different type of out side rollers
depends up on the component and process,
which are mainly, cylindrical rollers, spherical
roller, narrow roller, etc.
