hirschmann rotary table factory

Our product range includes single and multiple axes, tilt/rotating tables, and indexing and high-speed spindles. Additionally, we offer customized solution tables for customer requests or OEM projects.

Even for EDM machines that have been in use for decades, we will work with you to determine the ideal rotary indexing table and/or rotating/indexing spindle solution.

Our state-of-the-art rotary indexing tables and customizable reference and clamping systems provide endless application possibilities and highly efficient solutions.

Cost and time pressure in part machining on EDM are new challenges for industry and trade. The key to success can be found in set-up times – where efficiency can increase productivity. For more than 40 years we develop and manufacture rotary indexing tables with coordinated reference and clamping systems. With them you can optimize machine running times and improve economics.

With decades of experience and perfected engineering we are leading manufacturer of rotary indexing tables, a-axes, rotating and indexing spindles together with total clamping technology for EDM technology. Due to high vertical range of manufacturing the customers approach only to one contact person and receive the guarantee that all components are not only assembled but made by Carl Hirschmann. Even for products which are in use for decades the company still offers suitable parts.

Rotary indexing tables combined with wire and sinking EDM offer completely new application possibilities. In wire and sinking EDM processes shapes can be realized far beyond the capabilities of turning, grinding or milling. In an erosive grinding process today microtechnology structures can be realized that seemed to be unthinkable even not long ago.

With our new and further innovations, constructions with zero and small series, test runs and prototypes we already opened a multitude of the nearly endless opportunities. In our high-precise rotary indexing tables, rotary tables and rotary axes are decades of experience and the know-how of special requirements of spark erosion, HSC and laser technology.

Project oriented research and development, in-house testing on our own benches and a high level of vertical integration are all available from Carl Hirschmann out of one source.

We would like to share a complex shape being produced with one of our large high precision "hollow axis" rotary tables integrated into a Wire EDM machine. This represents just one of many high precision rotary table designs which Carl Hirschmann offers. Feel free to contact us to discuss which rotary table design would be appropriate to overcome your current challenges. We are Carl Hirschmann - the precision benchmark!

Indexing tables are used in a multitude of industries and in numerous applications. Their design is optimal for many manufacturing jobs, and they are a critical component in most automated manufacturing systems. Indexing tables are best defined as a machine tool positioning device. They carry components in a manufacturing environment with a repeating process of indexing (rotating) around an axis, stopping, dwelling while an operation is performed, then indexing again to repeat the process. They are usually made of circular steel plates, with one or more spindles, a drive system, encoders, sensors, controllers and slots or mounting holes to hold components.

Virtually any manufacturing operation can be performed on a part held by an indexing table including welding, grinding, drilling, assembly, painting, inspection, testing and more. In order to maximize operational efficiency, the machine doing the operation must also be built for the same intended application as the indexing table for them to work in synch. Similarly the machine that loads the indexing table with parts must also be synchronized. They must have the same capacity and be able to manage to the same dwell time for the system to work.

Industries that use indexing tables include automotive manufacturers, bottling companies, microchip manufacturers, pharmaceutical makers, consumer products companies and many more. They are invaluable to manufacturers pushing for automation and increased efficiency in their factories, turning work that used to take days into work that takes only hours. If a simple assembly task is required on small parts in a factory, there is no better way to complete the task than by coupling an assembly tool and an indexing table.

Anyway, to answer your questions, I looked up the Hirschmann table you referenced and it looks to me like it"s a spinner and indexer, not a turn while burn table.

Hirschmann must have a similar provision to integrate their turn while burn capable tables to whatever machines they are going to be run on...I don"t think you can just buy one and bolt it to a machine without the interface kit to mate it to the control.

Turn while burn requires that the controller governs the rotary motion; this is because the rate of rotation has to be driven by the spark gap conditions in conjunction with the axis motion of the rest of the machine whether it"s X or Y or U or V.

It was faked by tilting the wire to an angle other than the thread helix angle with the U axis, then driving a fine pitch helix with B and X (B is the rotary axis on my machine).

You can imagine just how many passes that would take (a LOT), and you will always have a 0.005" radius at the junction of each flank and the root, which may or may not be acceptable depending on the application.

From spherical rod end bearings, rotary tables, clamping systems, axial shaft seals, oelheld UK can supply the full Hirschmann range which offers excellent workholding systems at competitive prices for EDM processes.

System 5000 - Workholding solution for conventional EDM and milling / electrode manufacture applications. Ease of manufacture and precision are the key to successful, profitable use of EDM machines and the Hirschmann System 5000 offers both with a repeatability of 0.002mm across its whole range. Electrodes are transferred from milling to grinding then used in EDM without the need for continuous checking of datums.

Submersible Rotary Spindles - For EDM Turn & Burn / indexing and EDM Turning applications. Carl Hirschmann have been producing rotary spindles for EDM for more than 40 years. A variety of specifications are available depending on workpiece size and application.

Rotary Spindles for Special Applications - The use of Polycrystalline diamond (PCD) as a material for the production of cutting tools in constantly increasing. The complex geometries required for this type of cutting tool can present great difficulties for standard production techniques which wire erosion processes can overcome. The addition of a high specification systems such as the Carl Hirschmann servo controlled A Axis which is suitable for use in submerged environments can quickly and effectively give a standard wire EDM machine PCD capabilities.
