12 inch rotary table pricelist
12" PRECISION ROTARY TABLE HORIZONTAL/VERTICAL w. 10" 3 jaw chuck w. top & bottom reversible jaws and DP-2 2pcs index plates. All the attachments to mount the chuck and index plates included.
It works well. Functionally, it’s pretty great.It comes with some extras, but not much of an explanation. Because it can mount parallel or perpendicular, it lacks a way to clamp it to the table for parallel use. I had to machine a toe clamp to hold the other end. Thankfully, I have a mill. But, it’d have been so much easier to include one since it’s necessary.Otherwise, the 90 turns for 360 (1 for 4), works out pretty well for any angle divisible by four - 72, 60, 120, etc. I had to machine a way to attach my lathe chuck. Spent a half hour making the little piece I pictured… worked well for not using the dividing plates.Solid. Fairly precise. Works. But you’re going to have to make things to use it.
The mill rotary table is one of the main accessories of milling machine. As a precision work positioning device, it is widely used for indexing drilling, milling, circumferential cutting, boring, etc. The rotary turn table for milling machine is made from HT200 casting with high quality. It has already passed the ISO9001 quality system certification. They are are very popular on the market for their superior performance, excellent design and reasonable cost.
Both vertical and horizontal with two functions. Circle cutting, indexing drilling, milling and more complicated work are possible when the vertical position of the table is used together with the tail part.
Increase productivity and reduce setup time with the TR-8, 4th- and 5th-axis rotary table by eliminating second and third operations. In a single set-up, achieve multi-sided machining capability as well as the ability to tackle tough complex shapes and difficult to reach angles. Both housings were based on our VH8 and still come packed with the same quality. Both spindles and worms have dual bearings. Each worm wheel is helically cut and throated for greater surface contact between the wheel and worm. The B axis housing uses a stronger motor to make up for the extra weight of tilting the A axis housing and maintain accuracy.
One thing that is sorta misleading about the CNC tables unless you"re seen one first hand is just how big they are. I"ve got a Tsudakoma THNC-301, which is a 320mm (12"+) table thats rotary powered and manually tiltable from horizontal to a bit past vertical. It weighs somewhere between 400 and 450 lbs, and I guess the new cost now is somewhere north of $16,000. They have positioning accuracy within a few arc seconds, and are capable of holding accuracies like this with a part that weighs a couple hundred pounds and cutting forces that can generate several hundred ft-lbs of torque.
Pricewise, assuming my 16K current estimate is accurate, that would work out to a bit less than $40/lb, because it definitely weighs over 400#. For comparison, a 10" Kitagawa power chuck for a lathe retails now for about $4000, and although I"ve never weighed one, I guess they weigh less than a hundred lbs from picking one up a "few" times. So that puts the chuck at over $40/lb. If you ever have cause to take one of these chucks apart, they are surprisingly simple. They"re accurate and repeatable, and everything is hardened and ground, but they"re still simple, especially when compared to a rotary table. A good sized collet chuck from Royal to fit an A-8 spindle nose on a lathe weighs barely over 40 lbs and costs close to $2500. Once again, its all hardened and ground, but this is the price of a pullback type chuck which is just one single piece of steel with no moving parts whatsoever, yet it sells for over $60/lb. When you compare the rotary tables and their size and complexity to other machine tool parts of similar complexity and quality, the price begins to look not so far out of line, even though its still not cheap by a long shot.
