arduino rotary table for sale

The stepper motor will have to be sized for your application. I used a small 3” rotary table and don’t plan on using it for anything other than indexing so a high torque NEMA17 did the job. If you’re working with a larger rotary table or want to be able to use it as a 4th axis in the mill you will want at least a NEMA23 size motor. You will have to reach out to the forum for help with selection.

You’ll have to install the Arduino software (IDE) on your computer. Spark Fun has a good step by step tutorial for completing the install. https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/installing-arduino-ide

Sherline’s CNC driver box comes equipped with an A-axis output cable ready to drive a 4th rotary axis. This rotary table is all you need to turn your Sherline CNC mill into a 4-axis machine. Just plug the A-axis cable from the external driver box or the built-in driver box in your Sherline computer into the matching plug on the stepper motor. The EMC2 software is already set up to handle G-code for the A-axis, and numbers entered after the letter “A” in your code are interpreted in degrees.

The same end result can be obtained by ordering a CNC ready rotary table and a stepper motor and attaching the motor, but this single part number does the same thing, making it easier to order and saving you the trouble of installing the motor on the rotary table.

I used a scrap riser to mill a custom knob with 17 flutes as an example, because most traditional manual rotary tables and dividing heads struggle with dividing prime numbers.

I needed two large holes in plates, 46mm and 40mm. I mounted the plates on the rotary table, set the indexer to continuous run and slowly lowered the cutting bit. This saved me from having to buy 2 different size hole saws that I might never use again.

I"ve actually used Arduino"s for a number of projects over the last few years (and PIC"s, but that"s another story) but never used stepper motors, so I"m keen to play with this and see what it will do.

Garth, if you download from the DM link you will find three versions of the software in the zip file. The latest (I believe) is ver 2.3. If you open the sketch in the Arduino IDE the first line gives you the version number in confirmation.

Hi i wonder if any one can help i have tried two Arduino Uno boards and two different DF Robot keypads and get the same result that the up and down left keypads go through the menu but pressing select makes no difference they just show the menus .I have downloaded the software on two different computers and get the same result.

The Sherline CNC Ready Rotary Table offers a P/N 3700 manual 4 inch rotary table and a stepper motor mount with dampened coupling in place of the handwheel. The mount accepts a NEMA #23 frame size stepper motor for CNC control. This allows the table to be used as a 4th axis with CNC systems that have the capability to drive a rotary axis.

This table is also available as P/N 8700, which includes a stepper motor and a self-contained CNC controller for use as a stand-alone CNC indexer. The rotary tables can hold more weight when they are not under a continual load.

Sherline’s rotary table offers an accurate, stable platform for rotary laser marking applications. Its compact size makes it a good fit in small enclosures.

NOTE: Because components of the table are ground as a set during production, the P/N 3700 rotary table cannot be upgraded to the P/N 3700-CNC version later on. A new rotary table with stepper motor worm housing must be purchased.

The second unit I received worked very well. The machine has much more torque than I expected with zero detectable back-lash although this is based on fairly crude measurements.. I purchased the unit to work on 3/8 inch aluminum rod on a proper industrial milling machine and I feel that it would handle larger diameter steel rod if required.

The unit is easily controlled from a simple Arduino micro-processor using one of several freely available libraries and examples, I think I used a library called SpeedyStepper which allows quite elaborate movements.

It will conveniently mount in a standard milling machine vise so there is no need to align it on the mill table if you have a good quality vise and you prefer to keep it in place.

Sherline offers one of the finest small rotary tables on the market. It is available in manual or stepper motor drive modes. It can even be purchased with its one controller to be used as a programmable indexer.

can mount our chucks. This modification came about after requests from our laser engraving customers. The larger through hole allows for larger stock to be held. It also has a Nickel-Teflon plating on it because it was designed to be used in an every-day production environment. This gives the table a rust resistant surface that is hard and has added lubrication qualities.

Sherline�s rotary table offers an accurate, stable platform for rotary laser marking applications. Its compact size makes it a good fit in small enclosures. Visit our Video page to watch a Sherline CNC-ready rotary table in use in a laser marking application on round parts, illustrating the difference between trying to mark on a round part without rotating it vs. rotating it. Some of the videos are from Jimani Inc. Laser Marking Systems who use a high-speed motor to drive the table.

I"m not saying a powered rotary table is not useful. Just that for my uses something that will self center stock in a collet might be more useful. Hence my interest in the Taig 5C lathe chuck as a project build. If I need to work larger stock I can get a 4 jaw and mount it on a 5C adapter plate, If I need a flat plate, well I just machine a 5C adapter plate flat. Most of the small rotary tables I have seen have a very small taper in the center or no through hole taper at all. Mine has no hole. A slightly larger one a buddy of mine has an MT1. I was really surprised that was all the hole it had. I think if I was gear cutting I"d mount the gear on a tapered or keyed (or both) mandrel By mounting the mandrel in a collet its very repeatable.

I was searching around on eBay and came across an interesting little trunnion table, link below. I had seen similar units, but they all used belt drive reductions, which from experience will not have enough reduction, and will likely be chatter with any real cutting, not to mention the belt is exposed. This unit however uses a harmonic drive to get a 50:1 reduction, with essentially zero detectable backlash. on top of that, it actually back drives the stepper motor. Harmonic drives are also sometimes called wave strain drives or flex spline drives. Anyways, the trunnion uses a couple of nema 23 steppers, and the holding torque is fantastic, even with a cheap stepper driver. For simplicity I"m using an arduino based controller that runs grbl 1.1f, and a couple of 5-30v inductive switches, links below. The controller can be controlled by sending gcode over the rx and tx pins, aka rs-232. The trunnion unit itself is very beefy for what it is, and has what look to be waterproof seals around all the bearings, so with a bit more sealing on the motors it can probably handle coolant usage.
