The TR160Y dual-axis trunnion rotary table puts 5-axis capabilities well within reach of the average job shop, and its compact size provides greater mounting flexibility.

Five-axis machining is becoming more common today as a means to reduce set-up time and increase accuracy for complex parts. But investing in a 5-axis machine tool can be prohibitively expensive, especially for smaller shops. The TR160Y dual-axis trunnion rotary table from Haas Automation (Oxnard, CA) puts 5-axis capabilities well within reach of the average job shop, and its compact size provides greater mounting flexibility.

The TR160Y is designed to mount in the Y direction (front to back on the table) of a mid-size vertical machining center. At less than 25 in wide and only 20 in deep, the TR160Y easily fits on one end of the machine’s table, freeing up the remainder for additional fixtures or vises. The TR160Y has a 160 mm T-slot platter, and will swing parts up to 7.5 in diameter. The maximum platter capacity is 80 lb. The trunnion provides ±120 deg of tilt and 360 deg of rotation for full simultaneous 5-axis motion, or to position parts to almost any angle for machining. Yet, like all Haas rotary tables, it can easily be removed when not needed.

Powerful brushless servomotors provide 150 ft-lb of spindle torque on both axes of the TR160Y. Brake torque is 300 ft-lb and 100 ft-lb respectively, and speeds are 130 deg/sec on the rotary axis and 100 deg/sec on the tilt axis. The trunnion’s precision-ground platter of heat-treated 4140 alloy steel has six standard 5/8 in T-slots equally spaced at 60 deg for easy fixturing. Three servo-control configurations are available, making the TR160Y easy to interface to almost any machine.

Dynamic Work Offsets (DWO) and Tool Centre Point Control (TCPC) are software features in the Haas control. These make setting up 4- and 5-axis jobs as easy as setting up a 3-axis machine. They allow an operator to place the part and fixture anywhere on the machine’s table or platter, regardless of the location that was programmed in the CAM system. DWO and TCPC determine the difference between the centres-of-rotation programmed in the CAM system and the centres-of-rotation within the machine and apply the appropriate offsets.

The trunnion table is a rotary table designed to provide two additional axes to the 3-axis machine tools and increase the positioning accuracy. It is a very compact yet rigid accessory for modern CNC machining centers.

The trunnion table is designed to provide additional 2 axes to the 3-axis machine tools and increase the positional accuracy, which is a very compact yet rigid accessory for modern CNC machining centers. A trunnion type indexer is typically made from heavy-duty cast iron, providing maximum rigidity and quick rotation that is free of backlash. It is available for accurate machining operations like milling and drilling, which is suitable for medium to large applications.

Similar to 4th axis indexers, which is added onto the vertical machining center, in general, the tilting axes of trunnion tables upgrades the capability of cutting multiple sides of the intricate part simultaneously, the positional accuracy, the repeatability, and also productivity with a full 360° rotation. It usually comes with work-holding devices like machine vises, chucks, sub-plates, and also spacers. As for the power source and control system of this work holding device, there are manual, pneumatic, hydraulic and also computerized types in the market.

Trunnion tables rotational axes for various CNC machining centers enhance the productivity and surface properties of the intricate machining applications. These features make them highly sought-after accessories for machinining in aerospace, shipbuilding, automotive industry and more.

Different from the integrated 5 axis machining center, adding the high-performance rotary positioning technology, the trunnion rotary table can achieve the 5-axis machining operations with less cost and simple installation, expanding the available work of the general 3-axis machine tools. The structure is considered as the “3+2 axes machining”.

The trunnion platter upgrades the machining center by adding the rotational axes, or tilting axes, to the original three linear axes, which are known as the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis. The X-axis on a machining center is the linear direction where the column travels along, which is typically the left-to-right direction in a VMC. The Y-axis is aligned with the path the workpiece moves along from front to back. The Z-axis is typically aligned with the main axis of the machine tool; it is vertical in a VMC.

A trunnion-type model offers the rotational axes around the X-axis and the Z-axis, achieving the 3+2 machining technology and high-end accuracy and productivity of CNC machines. However, before adding one to your machine tool, you should check if the CNC system of the 3-axis machine can accommodate the controlling of simultaneous 4- or 5-axis machining operations.

On the other hand, the 5-axis machines that have integrated tables or rotary work holding tools are also advantageous to ensure simultaneous 5-axis machining with a simpler setup. Although the acquisition cost of 5-axis CNC machining centers is much higher than adding an external accesory, they still have their advantages.

For example, the 5-axis machine allows cutting tools that have standard lengths, reducing the costs relative to tool turnover and insert replacement, increasing the feed speed. Also, the high accuracy of the 5-axis machining operations results in fewer scraps as well as less waste. The easier setup can reduce the time and effort of the user and human interference of the complex process.

In the turning or milling machine, whether the spindle with the cutting tools is locked or not, the rotating trunnion table is used to turn the symmetrically round parts under a predetermined high speed. The workpieces are mostly large aerospace, energy industry components, or other medium to heavy-duty applications. Some CNC machines that leveraged the two rotational axes at once, which adds tilting movement to spin, can let the tools get further closer to the surfaces of the parts. It offers a stable plane for heavy workpieces to rest.

The open working area translates the power to a large range of movement for the trunnion table, providing fully 360° rotation. The wider the range of the rotational movement, the easier it is to operate the jobs, permitting much more high performance and rapid turning or milling of intricate contours. To provide high speed and high turning force during mill-turn operations, the trunnion rotary table used in the mill-turn machines will require drives that supply higher torque such as a 4,000-Nm torque drive to complete the tasks.

For starters, since it provides exceptional rigidity and flexibility for the machining center with the extra rotary motion, the machines can allow shorter and more hard cutters, which are produced with aggressive parameters.

These tooling options can upgrade the surface finishes, tool life and also reduce the cycle time. As for the trunnion table itself, it typically has heavily ribbed cast iron construction, making it durable and rigid to bear the vibrations and repeated operations in long-term use.

When it comes to the simple setups and installation, trunnion type models in the metalworking environment are designed to be flexible, which can be simply bolted onto a wide range of CNC machinery, allowing the user to cut on multiple sides of the parts for mid-range productions. The fast setups and ease of operations for precise 5-axis turning, milling, drilling and other machining tasks provide the solution to significantly upgrade the productivity of the shop in a short time.

US /Europe – US-based CNC machine tool manufacturer, Haas Automation, will use the upcoming AMB 2016 exhibition in Stuttgart to present an ‘advance sight’ of a new Y-axis CNC turning centre, as well as a prototype of a newly developed compact mill for micro-machining, and two new CNC rotary tables.

On Stand C11 in Hall 9, Haas Automation will showcase its new ST-15Y big bore, small footprint CNC turning centre. The ST-15Y provides 102 mm of Y-axis travel (±51 mm from the centerline) for off-centre milling, drilling and tapping, and comes as standard with 6000 rpm high-torque live tooling and a full C-axis for versatile four-axis capability. The machine, which will be available in Europe in Q4, offers 63.5 mm bar capacity and a maximum cutting capacity of 356 x 406mm, with a swing of 406 mm over the cross slide.

With industry witnessing a marked trend for micro-machining applications, Haas will also shine the spotlight on a prototype of its new CM-1 compact mill, which is designed as a high-accuracy solution for high-volume production and prototyping of small, high-precision 2D and 3D parts such as those found in the communications, medical and dental industries. Small enough to fit into most freight elevators, the CM-1 features 300 x 254 x 300 mm travels, a 508 x 254mm T-slot table, a 30,000 rpm ISO20 taper spindle and a 20-pocket automatic tool changer. Maximum cutting feeds are 12.7 m/min, with rapids to 19.2 m/min for reduced cycle times.

Another new rotary on display at AMB will be the Haas TR200Y, a dual-axis trunnion rotary table that puts 5-axis capabilities well within reach of the average job shop. The TR200Y is designed to mount in the Y direction (front to back on the table) of a mid-size VMC. At less than 686 mm wide and only 508 mm deep, the TR200Y easily fits on one end of the machine’s table, leaving the remaining space free for additional fixtures or vices. The TR200Y has a 200 mm T-slot platter, and will swing parts up to 206 mm diameter, Haas says.

There will be two TR200Y units on display, one as a separate unit and another fitted to a Haas VM-2 vertical mould making machine. This will be joined at the show by a cross-section of CNC machines from the existing Haas portfolio, including a UMC-750SS Super Speed 5-axis universal machining centre, a VF-3YT/50 VMC with 50-taper spindle and a VM-2 vertical mould making machine.

It wasn’t until my junior year of undergrad that I first learned about the fascinating world of industrial manufacturing at an internship withMartin Manufacturingin Elsmere, Kentucky. What once started out as a pain point for Stan’s machine shop, slowly became a technology that he would later go on to start his own business with. From humble “garage startup” roots to a thriving business of 25+ years, Martin Manufacturing has had much success with their line of4th Axis Trunnion Tables/Workholding solutions. “Manufacturing” and “efficiency” are two words that run parallel to one another in a high pressure, industrial environment. Shops everywhere are constantly obsessing over perfection, under pressure to maximize their resources to deliver precision parts in a timely manner. A trunnion is just one of the many methods to producing complex, machined parts in a fast, and productive manner.

Essentially, a trunnion table is a workholding accessory that comes in various sizes and platforms, allowing the operator to clamp a part to the table and machine up to 3 sides of that part in one setup. (See video here for demonstration) These versatile tables can be used on a variety of milling machines, and are a bolt-on accessory for a range of 4th axisrotary tableson the market today. To produce a part on a standardBridgeportknee mill, the operator is forced to keep readjusting the position of the metal part after each side of the raw material is cut to a precise dimension. Often times this part is held in a vise mounted to the milling table, which has to be manually opened and closed when the raw metal stock is flipped. Fast forward a few decades, and the operator is now capable of not having to handle that part over and over again by way of automation and modern machining capabilities. When an operator is simply able to hit the “start” button and not worry about manually handling that part, it frees them up to other tasks such as running other machines, doing secondary work on a part, or prepping jobs to later be machined. Hydraulic fixtures, pneumatic spindle brakes,

operation,” Stan remarked. “I just knew there had to be some way to make these setups more efficient.” Overtime, Stan gathered enough knowledge of machining to develop his own blueprints to then make a prototype device in his dad’s garage. It was there that Stan gathered the idea for the product that is now the cornerstone of his business today; theTrunnion Table.Though plenty of people were rigging up their own homemade trunnions, no one was actively marketing it as a product. He first began to run jobs with vise fixtures mounted to a Haas rotary table (see below), which allowed his Vertical Mill (VMC) to run like a Horizontal mill (HMC) thanks to the Trunnion’s 270 degrees of travel in the A-Axis (see diagram above for an illustration)

of the table. “After using my trunnion, the least profitable jobs became my most efficient and high ROI jobs,” said Stan. With continuous design improvements and rigorous testing, he was able to perfect his Trunnion overtime, through many different applications and design iterations along the way. “Once we got an understanding of all that this table was capable of, we started making more and using them as our go-to workholding solution for most milling work we did,” said Stan. “It wasn’t soon after that we saw a real demand for this type of product.”

job shop is running production jobs for automotive, motorcycle, aerospace, and various other industries…all that are typically prepared on a trunnion setup. There is also a sense of partnership ingrained throughout the organization from the relationships they have managed to build with distributors nationwide. “We wouldn’t have grown and learned what we know today if it weren’t for the rotary table

as:Haas,Lyndex Nikken,andKoma Precisionhas enabled an increased effort to improve and further innovate the capabilities of a Trunnion. “We are able to provide complete turnkey packages for our customers to get up and running,” said Stan. “With the help from our partners, we are able to be on completely new levels of engineering/technical know-how with a team of dedicated engineers for just about any type of job.”
