slide 1: UCAMIND: CNC Rotary Table and 4th Axis
Rotary Table
A CNC Rotary Tables for Machine Builders is a precision work positioning
device that is mainly used in metalworking. It enables the operator to drill or cut
the work at exact intervals around a fixed usually horizontal or vertical axis.
There are some other rotary tables that allow the use of index plates for indexing
operations and some can also be fitted with dividing plates that enable regular
work positioning at divisions for which no indexing plates are available. A rotary
fixture used in this fashion is more appropriately called a dividing head also
known as an indexing head. It is also a part of automation. They are different
types of rotary tables are available in the market like the 5th Axis Rotary Table
the Manual Chucks Torque Motor Rotary Table.
By adding a 4th Axis Rotary Table to a milling machine in any sort of work
setting provides several advantages to machine work. Having another axis to
work which gives the milling machine users more precision and accuracy without
having to change positions of the part being machined.
slide 2: With a full 4
th
axis your milling machine can easily handle a much more diverse
set of jobs. Machining parts with holes for example in which the mill must work
with a circular motion with equal distances is certainly possible with 360-degree
movements. Grooves arc cuts and also other complex curves are included with
the benefits of a Tilting Rotary Table cutting out the teeth of gear parts is
another possible application of this type of rotary table.
A 4th axis rotary table extends the degree of accuracy necessary for complex
work needed by any skilled machinist. With these quality parts a machinist can
easily capable of creating intricate parts and expanding the types of orders your
job shop can take on.
