Because the tilting axis normally needs to bear a heavy load, a robust transmission mechanism for the tilting axis should be employed to improve the wear resistance and precision of the tilting axis. Thus, we can provide roller gear cam, alloy steel worm gear, or Japanese- made worm & worm gear (wear life is 2.6 times longer than aluminum bronze PBC3.) as the transmission mechanism of the tilting axis.

CNC rotary tables are a cost-effective alternative for the shops that cannot afford those high-end multi-axis machining centers. Though less versatile and efficient than a CNC machining center, a typical milling machine that incorporates a rotary table is able to carry out many more intricate tasks. In this article, we will walk you through the basic knowledge of the 4th and 5th axis CNC rotary tables, including how they work and what they can do for the shops.

In essence, it is a mechanical device that offers an additional rotational axis to a machine tool. It is typically designed to work with a milling machine so that the machine has the ability to carry out more complex cuts. Provided with a rotational axis, in a sense it combines a milling machine with a lathe. Besides giving an extra axis, rotary tables are also used for indexing and positioning tasks.

Rotary tables were invented in the early 20th century. The construction has not changed much since the invention except the way they are driven. At first, chains were used. But from 1918 on the shaft-driven mechanisms replaced them. As the technology of powered machines and computer control advanced, NC and CNC models hit the market in the late 20th century. CNC controls facilitated precision positioning and indexing.

The primary benefit is the indexing accuracy. In the past, millimeter-scale accuracy was enough for general-purpose machining applications since the part tolerance requirements were not high. Today, medical equipment, military, and automotive components require higher precision. That is why CNC tables with micrometer precision prevail across industries.

The standard CNC rotary tables are also called the 4th axis or 4-axis rotary tables. The 4th axis refers to the rotational axis, their most important feature. It upgrades an existing machine tool with x, y, z dimensions by adding an additional axis.

As mentioned earlier, the working principle of a 4th axis CNC rotary table is similar to the headstock of a lathe. They are both electrically powered to clamp a workpiece and make turns. The CNC system enables precision positioning so that the milling machine can make cuts on the desired surfaces of a workpiece.

An additional fourth axis is beneficial because it can be adjusted for particular amounts of rotary motion. The degrees the table rotates are pre-programmed and accurately controlled by the computer. The other benefit is that it allows the milling machine to work on cylindrical parts. The milling machine can cut grooves, slots, and planes on the outer diameter of a bar.

The precision indexing ability of the rotary table enables the machine tool to cut equidistant holes in a workpiece around 360 degrees across its surface. Repositioning of the workpiece is not required during such an operation. Similar operations such as arc cuts and curved contours can be performed in a run as well.

A 5th axis CNC rotary table provides two additional machining axes to a machine tool. Besides the rotational axis, the 5-axis rotaries have another swinging axis. In other words, the table not only turns but also tips. With two more axes, the machine tool is able to perform multi-plane machining.

The working mechanism of a 5-axis CNC rotary table is simple. As you can see in the image above, the rotary is mounted onto a swivel base. In addition to the swivel, other designs such as a swing bed are also available to provide a tilting axis to the table. Here is a video showcasing the moving axes.

A 5th axis CNC rotary table not only features precision positioning but also eliminates multiple setups that are required for complex machining applications. Compared to the standard CNC rotaries, the 5-axis table covers more surfaces on the workpiece. The milling machine can machine a workpiece on any four of the five axes at the same time, which reduces the production lead time significantly.

One of the key applications of 5-axis machining is mold-making. The ability to achieve intricate surface designs on the workpiece allows for the machine to manufacture molds used in industries including aviation/aerospace, automotive, military/defense, and medical.

The 4th and 5th axis CNC rotary tables have their own pros and cons and are suitable for particular applications. The 4th axis rotaries are apt at precision indexing for simpler designs whereas the 5th axis tables excel at complex designs but the rigidity is compromised and chatter or deflection may take place accordingly. The shops should choose a model that meets their actual requirements.

TheRT4 4th Axis Rotary Table is a compact CNC rotary table offering rapid, zero backlash rotary motion using maintenance free Harmonic Reducers and Crossroller Bearings. It is engineered and built here in California with all aluminum and stainless steel construction.A rotary seal allows for operation with liquid coolant and an integrated Homing Switch provides a repeatable reference point. A number of different workholding accessories are available such as 3 and 4 jaw chucks, 5C collet chucks and two jaw chuck(see below accessories tab). This CNC 4th Axis can be purchased separately at anytime and is plug and play ready with any of MDA Precision’s CNC Milling machines.

Machine Tech’s focus is on close-tolerance parts specializing in complex CNC milling, using the latest computer technology and equipment. We have grown to specialize into various industries and technologies including medical, defense, aerospace, robotics, military, process equipment, and industrial. We are able to service our customers with highly-skilled vertical and horizontal milling, turning, and sinker EDM manufacturing, as well as complex and close-tolerance assembly. Our capabilities include the operation of 3rd, 4th, and 5th axis CNC vertical and horizontal mills.

The purpose of all rotary tables is to rotate the piece being shaped by a set number of degrees, which allows shaping of material at exact intervals. Rotary tables can be used in all types of applications, the most basic example of their use would be to create regular grooves or holes in an object. Through rotation of the rotary table you are able to shape the object on a 4th axis, in addition to the three that a standard milling machine provides.

Now, Machine Tech has rotary tables with a tilting mechanism providing the ability to apply the milling machine on an additional 5th axis. Tilting the object either up or down, the tool is able to approach the object at varying angles. The use of 4th axis rotary tables greatly reduces the amount of time that it takes to shape an object; without it, you would be forced to reposition the object several times for the same results.

5th axis rotary tables are used for the manufacturing of more complex parts that are needed. These machines also save time in the same fashion. Their precision helps to promote uniformity in components and provides a quality that otherwise could not be achieved, because machines with a 4-axis or 5-axis component can create complex geometries faster, as well as cheaper. These machines provide vast improvements in efficiency by reducing setup times, cycle times, tool wear, and by increasing capability. That is why when it comes to Machine Tech’s 5-axis CNC machining, the part that generally comes to mind is a turbine or impeller. Machining a turbine requires the simultaneous movement of all 5 axes to create the desired geometric shape. For example, in the aerospace industry there are contours that can be machined by a 3-axis machine, but the process becomes much simpler with a 5-axis machine, ultimately saving the company money.

To fully understand the need for 4-axis or 5-axis machining, knowledge of 3-axis milling is required. The 3-axis machine is the most commonly used CNC milling machine. The 3-axis system consists of 3 vectors in space, two perpendicular to each other and in the same plane commonly known as the x and y axis with the third being z.

4-axis is the next level of capability in milling. Defined by rotation about one of the 3 primary axes. Depending on which axis the rotation is about, the 4th axis is called A if about the X-axis, or B if about the Y-axis, or C if about the Z-axis. To be considered 4-axis, the machine must be capable of simultaneous motion in each axis. The 4th axis may be used while cutting or to rotate the part to machine a different surface. Many of Machine Tech’s machines can mount a separate piece of equipment to add a 4th axis, or machines can be purchased with 4-axis built into the machine.

To increase the capabilities of our CNC mill a 5th axis is incorporated. Our 5-axis setup is more complex and there are two main methods of achieving 5th axis capability.

The first method consists of a 4-axis set-up with using the A-axis or B-axis with the spindle unit tilting. The second method in a 5-axis setup is called a trunnion. A trunnion system is generally less expensive than a tilt head system. Even though less expensive, a trunnion system adds some complexity. If the part clamped to the rotary is not centered on the A-axis, a 5-axis set-up provides greater control of orientation of the machining envelope. This allows for less re-fixturing of all parts and allows machining of very complex geometries, such as an impeller in a single setup, using 5-axis simultaneously where the tool does not leave the part until complete. By using 5th axis machining, most parts can be manufactured in one or two setups, eliminating the need for extra placement. With our reduction of time, we can reduce the cost per parts we are manufacturing, while increasing part quality, with no need to move the part the risk of misalignment is void.

Rotary table in market mainly includes 4 kinds of mechanism that is worm gear, roller cam, DD driver and harmonic structure. The following is the introduction:

1. worm gear: it’s one of  the most popular structrue in NC rotary table  because of its irreversibility and costs.The worm is generally made of bronze, but the wear resistance is poor. In order to improve the service life, some manufacturers use the alloy steel.

2.roller cam: This is the most popular deceleration mode in the Chinese market. Compared with worm gear, it has many advantages, such as wear resistance, high transmission efficiency , good price and basically no maintenance. Chinese consumers like it very much.

3.DD motor: it’s the most efficient rotary table with the highest precision. It has the highest precision because it has no mechanical structure, which is directly driven by motor , no reducer. It has high technical difficulty and high price. It is generally used for five axis machine tools.

4. Harmonic driver: Harmonic reducer is a new transmission structure in gear reducer. It uses flexible gear to produce controllable elastic deformation and cause relative staggered teeth between rigid wheel and flexible wheel to transmit power and motion. This kind of transmission is essentially different from the general gear transmission, and has particularity in meshing theory, set calculation and structural design.
