To reach the full potential of our flexible EDH-series we created additional sizes, specifically designed for heavy-duty applications. These rotary tables reach table plate diameters up to 3.000 mm by default. Individually customized designs can reach up to 10.000 mm in diameter and move close to 100t. They are available upon request, please contact us for further information.

The heavy-duty rotary tables are not only the basis for our Multitooling-System and Rotate-Lift-Units, they are also used at large scale casting applicatons, interior production, glass industry and manufacturing of large gears and engines.

You would use an elevating table when you require free standing vertical travel with a platform shelf. The Velmex Elevating Tables are more rigid then turning a linear stage into a vertical axis, making them more stable. However, if you do want longer travel distance or a narrower or wider frame, almost all Velmex linear stages can be converted to an elevating table with the addition of a base plate and a platform shelf. They can be engineered to provide added rigidity, support and stability.

Velmex Elevating Tables are made of Velmex world renown UniSlide assemblies. They use a deeper base under the dovetail ways for added support and feature an oversize base for added stability in the vertical position. A right angle platform is mounted to the carriage that can be mounted in the inverse to add versatility to the travel envelope.

Yes, UniSlides can be mounted together in XY, XZ, XYZ configurations. Mounting UniSlide assemblies in multi-axis systems requires the use of adapter plates and brackets. They also can be combined with Velmex Rotary Tables and our other linear stages to make custom systems to meet a wide range of applications. See UniSlide Options and Accessories for more information on the plates and adapters. Also see our examples pages for images featuring Elevating Tables combined with other Velmex products.

Leading development partner for the transportation industry with a global operating workforce of over 5,600, EDAG (Detroit, MI / Fulda, Germany) recently was faced with the task of designing a heavy-duty ring for a new production concept. Featuring a distinctly large central opening, the WEISS CR2600 heavy duty ring rotary table is a unique combination for this size of a classic rotary table and shuttle system in which robots can access the workpiece from both sides.

The system, designed for small lot production of vehicle components, was required to not only bear the weight of car body tools weighing up to four tons, but also provide sufficient room at its center for a heavy-duty robot.

Hahl commissioned industry leading specialist for rotary tables and automation WEISS North America, Inc. (Willoughby, OH), and its’ parent company WEISS (Buchen, Germany), to initiate detailed and collaborative engineering discussions with them to develop a complete, integrated solution for EDAG’s unique production system.

Based on its‘ powerful CR series range of heavy-duty rings, which feature large open centers, WEISS North America began customized engineering specifications on a unique CR2600 rotary table that could ultimately accommodate four tools−and a robot in the center.

The table should also feature sufficient space in the center for a robot to carry out both machining and logistics functions−thus permitting space saving while enhancing the flexibility and productivity of the system.

Key specifications for the new CR2600 heavy duty ring table quickly came into focus:A permissible vertical axial 500kN dynamic and 1000kN static force on the drive plate

According to Stanislav Cafuta, a WEISS system developer, “The key was designing the ring’s central opening with a diameter of two meters, tool weights of up to 20 tons, and a reach of up to 2.5 meters – demands which even our largest heavy-duty rings were unable to meet at the time.”

One of these critical parts was the bearing. The development of a so-called YRT bearing, a combination of two axial bearings and a radial bearing, is a time- consuming matter. To overcome this issue, the WEISS engineers decided to speed up the process by giving the bearing supplier Schaeffler (Fort Mill, SC), a helping hand by assuming responsibility for the development of the bearing cages themselves. As a result, the total development time and delivery for the new CR2600 heavy duty ring table was compressed to six months.

Featuring a distinctly large central opening, the CR2600 heavy duty ring table is a unique combination for this size of a classic rotary table and shuttle system in which robots can access the workpiece from both sides. The system is currently running with two tools for two components, so that the rear hatches and bonnets can be manufactured in a combined process.

According to WEISS North America’s Vice President, Bill Eppich,“Ultimately, the CR 2600’s unique configuration opens up other possibilities for the installation that sparks the imagination. This is due to the user-programmability of the table, as well as savings in floor space brought about by the option of positioning even large robots at its center.”

Hahl concluded in stating,“The free positions can also naturally be used for logistics and equipping the tools. Therefore, the heavy-duty ring’s low height of only 300 millimeters is very convenient−enabling ergonomically favorable, stepless manual loading alongside automatic loading.”

To achieve rotary motion, Cross Company pairs a rotary table with a servo motor, drive and control to create a complete rotary actuation system.  This allows greater flexibility for your rotary positioner because you’re not tied to just one or two positions.  Some examples of rotary actuation that Cross Company has worked on recently include:Robotic cells which require precise rotary indexing for manufacturing stations

Cross Company’s Automation Group works with several different manufacturers of motors, drives and rotary tables.  We work with you to understand your application and then we size and specify the best combination for your particular need.  We have literally decades of experience working with rotary actuators, so we can specify a robust solution optimized for the application.

Cross is proud to represent the following manufacturers of rotary positioners:Parker:Worm gear-driven precision rotaries, manual stages and direct drive rotary servo motors which are suitable for light to medium industrial precision positioning

In virtually every industry, a right-sized rotary solution increases the throughput and efficiency of your process.  By working with Cross Company, we can help reduce the risk of incorrectly sized and specified equipment, delivering a complete solution perfectly tailored to your application.  Contact the experts at Cross to discuss your rotary positioning needs.

Boasting a 1300 mm footprint, the TO1300 suddenly makes larger scale applications possible that previously seemed out of reach− as current direct-drive tables are relatively small and limited to a diameter of 750 mm. Additionally the TO1300’s high-tech drive operates predominantly without mechanics or gearboxes.

For challenging tasks of this nature, a mechanical heavy duty table is typically the logical choice. Due to their gearing ratio, however, these tables don’t fare well in service life calculations for use at such high speeds as the needle bearings simply suffer from too much wear.

The correct alternative is a direct drive; which inspired the development of the TO1300. With a direct drive, only one bearing is under load which is virtually free of backlash. The table is low-wear and easily capable of delivering the desired dynamic performance requirements.

Unique to the TO1300 is that customers can customize it to their individual requirements. For example; they can make a modular selection between bearings, encoder and motor, and thereby alter the following table characteristics:

A specialist in automation, WEISS also offers many sizes for the TO series direct-drive rotary indexing tables; ranging from small to very large. Optimal solutions for specific application challenges can be achieved from the series wide range of options. Each TO model is also available in a version with a cleanroom certificate.
