In addition, since rotary motion is often performed for the purpose of processing, measurement, or some other subsequent operation, the use of rotary tables by themselves is rare.

Rotation mechanisms used in chairs and other equipment are also classified as rotary stages in the broad sense of the term, so they are used not only in manufacturing but also in home applications.

A crossed roller bearing is a bearing structure in which rollers are arranged between the inner and outer rings. The rollers are arranged in a straight row with a 45° contact angle, enabling the back bearing structure of a ball bearing to be realized with a single row, and the structure is capable of receiving loads from multiple directions simultaneously. The rotary table and cross roller bearings can be directly connected, which reduces the number of structural parts.

Since the rotational accuracy of the rotary table is directly related to the accuracy of the rollers, high rotational accuracy can be obtained depending on the accuracy grade of the rollers. In addition, since cross roller bearings have low frictional force and can be operated with light force, micrometer heads can be used in the fine-tuning rotation mechanism to obtain high positioning accuracy.

For 50 KITAGAWA products have provided confidence to the machinery manufacturers and machining process professionals. Making available to the consumed the most advanced solutions with safety and confidence of always performance. With long service life, a Kitagawa chuck does not return to service until 20 or more years later, even in high abuse operations such as in the automotive industry.

After adding four-axis or five axis rotary table on the machine tool, multi axis machining can be realized, which can improve the machining efficiency and yield. With the improvement of manufacturing automation in China, the demand for rotary table increases significantly.

Now, I will introduce the situation of several rotary table brands in China. We will divide them into four categories: Europe andAmerica, Japan, Taiwan and Chinese brands.

Japan: Fanuc, Nikken, Tsudakoma, Kitagawa and Sankyo are major brands. They are mainly configured on machine tools of some Japanese brands. Some factories will also be equipped with them  when machining precision parts. Fanuc has the largest market share with, because robodrill is most widely used in 3C industry in china, so many factories are equipped with its DDR

Taiwan: TJR, Detron and GSA are the main brands, as well as DEX, Autocam and HW. These rotary tables are not only configured on Chinese brand machine tools, but also sold to end customers. Their precision is not high and their service life is not long, but they can meet the requirements when machining parts with low precision. Some users will consider these brands when their budget is limited. Among these brands, TJR has the best sales volume, with an annual sales volume of more than 10000 sets, because they have the most complete distribution network, complete models and cheap prices.Most importantl

China: there are many locally four-axis brands in China, such as Gutia,Silvercnc, Blue tech, CP and Deshu. The product quality of these brands is comparable to that of Taiwan. Due to more favorable prices and fast delivery, they have occupied the market of most Taiwan brands. The four axis of Chinese brands mainly adopt roller cam structure or harmonic structure. The wear resistance of roller cam is better than that of worm gear, with long service life and good accuracy retention. The price of harmonic reducer rotary table is low, which is suitable for 3C industry. These two structures meet the needs of the market and have been recognized by customers.

The two specific product lines in the purchase included Kitagawa NC Rotary Tables and exclusive distribution rights to MST Yellow Angle Head products. The acquisition was effective April 1, 2020 and Kitagawa NorthTech will be immediately stocking inventory of Kitagawa NC Rotary Tables and MST products to support its customers throughout North America. For at least 90 days after the acquisition date, Kitagawa NorthTech (KNI) and Tecnara will be closely engaged in a business continuity program to ensure a smooth and seamless transition of the business and product lines.

Based in Santa Fe Springs, CA and established in 1979, Tecnara Tooling Systems has been KNI’s exclusive distributor of Kitagawa branded NC Rotary Tables in the USA since 1995. Tecnara Tooling, in partnership with MST Corporation, developed the “Yellow Angle Head” product line and have been exclusively representing this line for the past 30 years. Tecnara also represented MST’s family of Shrink-fit Tool Holders and 5 axis Workholding both of which are included in the acquisition.

As the company that bears the Kitagawa brand name and is the headquarters for the Americas, Kitagawa NorthTech believes the addition of Kitagawa NC Rotary Tables to their family of Workholding solutions makes for a perfect reunion. Additionally, KNI will now deliver even greater value and range of Turning and Milling Workholding solutions to customers.

Mr. Tomo Yamamoto, President of Kitagawa NorthTech, Inc., explains the decision to acquire the two key product lines from Tecnara Tooling Systems: “Obtaining the Kitagawa NC Rotary Table product line was a strategic and logical decision to consolidate all Kitagawa brands under one organizational umbrella at Kitagawa NorthTech, Inc. Now we truly offer North American customers, comprehensive, turnkey Workholding solutions for both Turning and Milling applications.”

Eastec 2019: Kitagawa NorthTech will be displaying its Nobel brand of workholding chucks for vertical turning lathes (VTLs), available up to 3.5 m (11.48 ft.) in size.

Kitagawa NorthTech earlier this year absorbed Itex Workholding operations, which previously held the distribution rights for Kawatatec Nobel Chucks in North America.

PMTS 2017: Kitagawa-NorthTech, a manufacturer of chucks, cylinders, steady rests and workholding accessories, provides custom turnkey workholding services.

Kitagawa NorthTech offers its Digital Grip Force Analyzer software and kit (PC version) designed to enable users to easily, accurately and quickly analyze and measure grip force performance of their CNC lathes and turning centers via a desktop PC, laptop or tablet.

Featuring robust construction and powerful clamping for high accuracy, Kitagawa’s TT-series NC tilting rotary tables are designed to handle a range of applications including shaft work requiring large through holes.

Well-suited for oilfield work, this compact rotary table has a through-hole diameter of 13.6 inches, which has previously been available only with rotary tables having a much larger face plate.
