compact rotary table free sample

A rotary table used in conjunction with a mill allows a machinist to produce virtually any part they can design. Sherline’s rotary table is a precision piece of equipment that has been designed to work with their vertical milling machines. However, it can be used on any mill whenever the small 4-inch size would be an advantage. The only limits are size, not complexity.

The table is 2″ high and 4″ (100mm) in diameter. The main components have been machined from solid bar stock steel, and the complete unit weighs seven pounds. The table has been engraved with a laser, giving sharp and precise lines every 5°, numbered every 15°. These lines are calibrated with the 72-tooth worm gear that is driven by the handwheel. The handwheel is divided into 50 parts, making each line on the handwheel 1/10°. This allows a circle to be divided into 3600 increments without interpolation. Seventy-two revolutions of the handwheel rotate the table one revolution.

The rotary tables can hold more weight when they are not under a continuous load. Click on the Video tab above to see examples of different weights and uses for our rotary tables.

The table T-slots are identical to those used on the Sherline mill and lathe, making the vast line of Sherline tooling available for use with this product. Two hold-down clamps and T-nuts are provided with the table. Also included is an adapter that allows Sherline’s 3- and 4-jaw chucks to be screwed directly to the rotary table. An optional right-angle attachment is available (P/N 3701) to mount the table in the vertical position to increase its versatility further. With the table mounted vertically, an optional adjustable right-angle tailstock (P/N 3702) can be mounted to the mill table. It is used to support and stabilize the other end of long work held in a chuck or otherwise attached to the rotary table.

Our direct drive rotary tables provide high torque and are easy to integrate. They contain high-energy magnets in a simplified mechanical design and drive loads directly without the need for a transmission mechanism or gearbox. It allows customers to build them right into a drive system for flexible placement and integration with cooling pipes and cables, for example.

We supply a wide range of frameless motors, and our adjustable motors include an optical encoder, scale, bearing and housing. Given our selection, it can be challenging to choose the best direct drive motor for your project. Our engineers prefer to help you find the right rotary table for your requirements.

Our most popular rotary motor, the AXD series is characterized by a slim, compact "pancake" design with high peak and continuous torque despite the motor"s quite small form factor.Direct drive and brushless motor

The ACD series is a set of ironless rotary tables. This motor is cogging-free and features high-resolution optical encoder feedback and low speed variability. This permanent magnet motor is equally suited for either low or high speed applications.Zero cogging coreless motor

Similar to the ACD series, the AXM series also features an ironless design and zero noise characteristics. This motor has a compact design, making it ideal for applications with specialized size requirements.Direct drive brushless permanent magnet motor

Linear Motors can be used in cleanroom environments. In fact, many front-end semiconductor applications have linear motors in use. In wafer manufacturing plants, high-precision lithography machines, for example, use linear motors in XY positioning tables with very high accuracy (nanometer resolution) and submicron accuracy in cleanroom classes according to ISO 2.

Among the many indexer manufacturers, what sets Pascal’s indexing table apart is undoubtedly its brakeless design, compact size, and durability. It has an ample amount of ports lending itself well to automation.

Pascal’s MDF index table operates with a 90° index 0.5 sec. Its unique rolling gear transmission is maintenance free and can operate with high index speed and accuracy for a long time unlike traditional worm gear. Traditional worm gear undergoes abrasive wear that can lead to backlash causing machining failure and degrading index accuracy.

Pascal’s high-performance rotary unions are integrated to enable clamp sensing and actuation but also provides a footprint 20% smaller than its competitors. Ideal for indexing large workpieces in compact machining centers, you will also achieve increased production capacity. As one example, our rotary indexing table can allow a machining center to increase their production capacity from 16 robodrill units to 24 units in the same amount of space.

The MDF index table has a total of 20 ports, lending itself well to automation. 18 of those ports can be used for hydraulic and air, while 2 are for coolant. A double acting cylinder with sensing can be used instead of a single cylinder, and its rotary joint accommodates a 7MPa pressure circuit.

Pascal is confident in the quality and reliability of our rotary indexers so much so that we use them in our own factories. That is also why these indexers are utilized in the factories of major automakers around the world.

One of the most popular uses for a Rotary Table in the small workshop is to quickly and efficiently round the ends of coupling rods and similar components. Worm gearing is not required, being too slow in operation. Positive stops are, however, vital to prevent the cutter exceeding its intended limits.

Consequently, GHT"s design offers a small, compact Rotary Table of Ø3 3/4", having substantial bearing support. Positive stops are provided to limit angular movement. The dimensions of the cast iron base enable easy mounting onto the lathe vertical-slide or cross slide. The Adapter Casting (HK1185) gives options for mounting this item on a milling machine.

This kit includes the base casting, close grained extruded iron for the table and all necessary steel and fasteners. Hemingway drawings and notes are included of course.

A turbo among rotary tables – the new FIBRODYN DA direct driven rotary tables with torque motor are optimally suited for all handling and assembly applications that require the shortest indexing times and flexible positioning. Thanks to its measuring system directly in the rotary table axis, any position can be moved to with the highest precision. The slim design with its very space-saving, compact construction and its fitted boreholes makes it very easy to integrate the rotary tale into your system. FIBRODYN DA is also available as decentralized stand-alone solution with integrated control. In this version, it offers the ideal opportunity to save a separate external NC control to minimize the implementation and start-up costs and to realize small machines without complex peripherals. The rotary tables are lifetime lubricated and maintenance free.
