2 axis trunnion rotary table made in china

Rotary table in market mainly includes 4 kinds of mechanism that is worm gear, roller cam, DD driver and harmonic structure. The following is the introduction:

1. worm gear: it’s one of  the most popular structrue in NC rotary table  because of its irreversibility and costs.The worm is generally made of bronze, but the wear resistance is poor. In order to improve the service life, some manufacturers use the alloy steel.

2.roller cam: This is the most popular deceleration mode in the Chinese market. Compared with worm gear, it has many advantages, such as wear resistance, high transmission efficiency , good price and basically no maintenance. Chinese consumers like it very much.

3.DD motor: it’s the most efficient rotary table with the highest precision. It has the highest precision because it has no mechanical structure, which is directly driven by motor , no reducer. It has high technical difficulty and high price. It is generally used for five axis machine tools.

The TR160-2 is a dual-axis trunnion rotary table that offers maximum rigidity and accurate performance for 3+2 and full 5-axis machining of small to medium parts. The dual-spindle design allows two workpieces to be loaded and machined in a single setup. Scale feedback on the A (tilting) axis increases positioning accuracy and repeatability. The unit fits into VF-2 and larger VF Series machines (extended Z-axis clearance option highly recommended).

The same Stallion Trunnion Table, up to eight times the productivity. ​Built for the highest production jobs. Available in 3 to 8 sided configurations.​ Complete solutions available to maximize your VMCs throughput.​​ Also made for any rotary table and machine tool on the market.

benchmark data from Modern Machine Shop magazine, 44% of the highest performing shops in the U.S. use 5th axis positioning. Just as Hurco led the industry in the transition from manual machining to CNC machining with the invention of conversational programming, we have led the industry in the transition from 3-axis machining to 5-axis positioning (or 5-sided machining). At Hurco, customer productivity (which leads to customer profitability) is the primary criterion we use when deciding where to devote our research and development resources. Decades ago, the Hurco engineering team determined that 5-axis CNC machining, in particular, 5-sided machining, could significantly increase productivity at job shops. We set a path to become the experts and revolutionized the industry with the development of control technology that optimizes the process for full 5-axis and 5-sided (3+2).

With 5-sided CNC machining, also called 3+2, you reduce setup time, increase accuracy, and expand your shop’s capability for future simultaneous 5-axis work. The key to our success in helping machinists make the transition from 3-axis to 5-sided machining lies within the conversational programming features of the Hurco control, such as Transform Plane and

When you invest in a Hurco 5-axis machining center, you get two machines in one. A machine that will immediately increase the profit margin of the parts you’re producing on a 3-axis machining center due to the powerful 5-sided programming​ (no CAM needed) and a rigid machine that is fully compatible with CAD/CAM packages for simultaneous 5-axis.

Mr. Straessle is pL Lehmann product manager at Exsys Tool. He says that while five-axis machines have become more affordable, they still can be two to three times the cost of a three-axis VMC, depending on the model. Therein lies one advantage to rotary tables, which, when installed on the bed of a three-axis VMC, combine a rotational C axis and a tilting A axis to enable the machine to perform either five-axis positioning work (aka 3+2 machining) or full five-axis contouring. Three-axis VMCs outfitted with two-axis rotary tables are commonly smaller than five-axis machines, too, saving valuable floor space. Unfortunately, they also tend to have tighter work envelopes, meaning a sizeable rotary table will be more restrictive of a machine’s movements.

A compact rotary table preserves work envelope space, providing more room for spindle and tool movement. Plus, shops have the option to use just the rotary table, mount standard vises next to it or remove the rotary table altogether, which is made simpler when the rotary table has a zero-point-type locating system to eliminate the need for alignment when it is removed and then remounted.

That said, Mr. Straessle says compact rotary tables still must possess design elements that enable them to perform effectively for a range of work. Here, he details four such features inherent to the pL Lehmann 500 series of modular-designed rotary tables, available in North America through Exsys Tool.

1. Load capacity. The compact 500 series provides load capacities that, in the past, were only available with larger rotary tables. For instance, the 3-inch rotary tables in this series are generally half the size of comparable units, but can handle workpiece loads as heavy as 400 pounds, he says.

2. Speed and torque.Rotary tables commonly use either direct-drive or gear-driven technologies, the former able to achieve high rotational speeds and the latter offering high torque. The 500 series uses the company’s pre-loaded gear drive (PGD) design, which is said to offer the best of both worlds in terms of high speed and high torque while being as much as four times as rigid as direct-drive systems. Plus, it enables the rotary tables to generate rotational speeds as fast as 160 rpm with virtually zero backlash.

3. Spindle clamping power.Once a rotary table is oriented to the desired position, an effective spindle clamping system is needed to securely hold that position during machining operations. Some rotary tables use an external intensifier or some other type of standalone hydraulic unit combined with disc braking to achieve necessary clamping forces. Conversely, the 500 series features an integral unit that converts air pressure into hydraulic holding power, using a

4. Monitoring system.The 500 series features a self-contained, internal monitoring system used to track and record vital rotary table information, including temperature, rotational speed and clamping force. It also detects internal pressure decay.

In addition, the rotary tables have USB ports to enable users to download monitoring data to log the operational history of the table. Not only does this data highlight crashes or malfunctions, but it also facilitates more effective preventive maintenance by offering early warnings to possible issues so users can avoid unplanned downtime. Plus, the monitoring system activates a series of LED warning lights when it recognizes a potential problem. For example, a blinking orange light is an alert to a situation that can be addressed before it becomes serious, while a continuous red light means immediate attention is needed. Because these rotary tables integrate with all the common machine tool CNCs, users can have warnings displayed on the control screens, too. By connecting a laptop running software such as pL Lehmann’s TeamViewer, users can also solicit assistance via the Internet from a company technician who can log on to assist in troubleshooting.

Mr. Straessle says the company guarantees the spindles on its standard rotary tables to achieve runout of 5 microns and its high-accuracy models to achieve runout of less than 3 microns (the latter is commonly used in grinding applications). In addition, glass scales provide ±1-arcsecond positioning capability for the C axis. These rotary tables are also sealed to prevent internal contamination that could hinder performance and feature a motor housing internally pressurized with oil to achieve an IP67 rating.

The 500 series is available in four standard, single-fourth-axis models. The smallest is the EA 507, offering a 3-inch face diameter and a spindle nose load capacity of approximately 240 pounds, while the high-speed EA 511 model is said to deliver twice the speed of the standard models. Each model can be configured as a two-axis system that provides 180 degrees of A-axis tilt with full C-axis rotation, as is the case with the series 500 T1 (trunnion-style) and TF (cantilever-style) units. They can also be ganged together with multiple spindles/C axes.

Turn Your Vertical Machining Center into a 5-Axis Production Machine. Designed specifically for Vertical Machining Centers, KME CNC’s 5-axis platters are built right into a precision rigid meehanite cast iron trunnion frame and table.

Standard models come with 1, 2, or 3 independent 5-axis platters on the trunnion table, giving your VMC full-range production capability. Just like the 5-axis tombstones, KME CNC’s trunnions are able to completely integrate with control systems, so you do not need to program the control box.
