Fixed centers are essential components primarily used in turning and grinding operations to ensure the stability and centering of workpieces. Made from high-quality steel, these fixed centers offer a perfect balance between toughness and surface hardness thanks to a full tempering process. They are employed in various industrial fields, such as precision mechanics and metalworking, to securely hold workpieces in place during machining operations. There are several types of fixed centers, including those made entirely of steel, available in fixed, cut, or double-angle versions, and those with Widia carbide inserts for applications requiring higher wear resistance.

Fixed centers can be equipped with interchangeable tips or tips made from tool steel, offering greater versatility in machining operations. Additionally, there are versions with an extraction collar and planes to facilitate removal and installation. The shank can be provided with Morse taper MT0, MT1, MT2, MT3, MT4, MT5, MT6, depending on the specific application requirements. Some fixed centers are also available with a carbide tip or an oversized carbide tip for machining particularly hard or abrasive materials.

These fixed centers are mainly used on lathes and grinding machines, where they are employed to center and stabilize the workpiece during rotation. Fixed centers with extraction threads are particularly useful for operations requiring frequent tool changes, while those with interchangeable tips offer a flexible solution for various applications. Finally, ultra-wear-resistant centers are ideal for use on inspection benches, where maximum precision and long-term durability are essential
