velmex rotary table factory

Velmex offers two series of Rotating Tables – the A4800 in three different gear ratios (18:1, 36:1 and 72:1) and the A5990 with a 90:1 gear ratio. The A4800 Series of Rotary Tables has a load capacity up to 200 lbs. (90.7 kg.) horizontally and 25 lbs. (11.3 kg.) vertically. The A5900 can handle 50 lbs. (22.6 kg.) horizontally and 5 lbs. (2.3 kg.) vertically. They easily integrate with Velmex UniSlides®, BiSlides® and XSlides™ in a array of configurations.

Since 1967, Velmex, Inc. has manufactured linear and rotary motion-control positioning systems for scientific, research, machining, instrumentation and industrial applications. Velmex produces UniSlide®, BiSlide® and XSlide™ manual and motor-driven stages; manual and motor-driven XY tables, rotary tables, elevating tables and turntables; as well as, VXM™ motor controls and VRO™ encoder readouts - all, American-made. All providing a variety of precise, yet simple, modular configurations to satisfy a broad range of positioning applications where high precision and value are essential. Common applications include manufacturing, research, automation and prototyping. Services provided include custom machining and controller integration.

You would use an elevating table when you require free standing vertical travel with a platform shelf. The Velmex Elevating Tables are more rigid then turning a linear stage into a vertical axis, making them more stable. However, if you do want longer travel distance or a narrower or wider frame, almost all Velmex linear stages can be converted to an elevating table with the addition of a base plate and a platform shelf. They can be engineered to provide added rigidity, support and stability.

Velmex Elevating Tables are made of Velmex world renown UniSlide assemblies. They use a deeper base under the dovetail ways for added support and feature an oversize base for added stability in the vertical position. A right angle platform is mounted to the carriage that can be mounted in the inverse to add versatility to the travel envelope.

Lubrication is important for motion systems or wherever you want maximum life and the lowest friction. UniSlide Assemblies can be lubricated with Velmex Lubriplate Aero®. Only a few drops are required to keep your slide running smoothly. The load and hours of use effect the amount and frequency of lubrication. See the user guide that came with your UniSlide for recommendations.

Yes, UniSlides can be mounted together in XY, XZ, XYZ configurations. Mounting UniSlide assemblies in multi-axis systems requires the use of adapter plates and brackets. They also can be combined with Velmex Rotary Tables and our other linear stages to make custom systems to meet a wide range of applications. See UniSlide Options and Accessories for more information on the plates and adapters. Also see our examples pages for images featuring Elevating Tables combined with other Velmex products.

Thousands of UniSlides®, BiSlides® and XSlides™ are in use providing simple, rugged, reliable motion. Velmex products are useful for precisely moving a probe, sensor, antenna, transducer, optics, components or other objects. Common applications include manufacturing, research, automation and prototyping. Services provided include custom design and machining and motor controller integration.

Velmex was founded in 1967 in Bloomfield, a small community in upstate New York; making it one of the first manufacturers of precision positioning equipment. Velmex was established by Jack Evans, who was instrumental in the Optics Institute at the University of Rochester and the Optical Society, and was one of the founders of Tropel, Inc., a precision optics company (now part of Corning).

Since then Velmex has grown to manufacture two additional manual and motor-driven dovetail stage brands – BiSlide® and XSlide™ – in a multitude of sizes and configurations available worldwide. The company also produces VXM™ Motor Controllers and VRO™ Encoder Readouts.

Velmex, Inc."s roots are in the optics and photonics industries, both of which are still part of the myriad of industries we now serve. J.C. Evans (Jack) was a professor at the Institute of Optics at the University of Rochester. Before starting Velmex he also was one of the three original co-founders of Tropel. Tropel eventually was acquired by Corning and became Corning-Tropel as it"s known today.

J.C. Evans patented the original UniSlide® design in 1960 for use at Tropel. Jack felt there was a broader use for the small positioning device and in the fall of 1967 he left Tropel to establish Velmex to manufacture and distribute the UniSlide® positioning stage.

1976 saw the UniSlide line expanded to include the A6000 series. The same year we introduced our 1st generation of Elevating Tables. In 1979 the 1st Rotary Table – the 4800 – was added to the offering.

In 1982 we built the 8200 Stepping Motor Controller followed by the B9000 Series UniSlide stage in 1983. The same year the first pre-configured XY table was introduced; built with Series A2500 stages.

We added another Rotary Table, the 5990, in 1991. The Tree Ring Measuring System was introduced to the dendrological community in 1992. It was designed for the purpose of researching tree ring growth and the associated climate and environmental implications.

Normally, the worm/worm gear drive of Velmex rotary tables do not need any servicing. However, under severe conditions replenishing the lubricant will prolong the life of the gears. A small amount of Lubriplate can be placed in the access hole. See the user guide that came with your Rotary Table for instructions.

Yes, both models of Rotary Tables have a hollow spindle or open aperture in the center for optical applications. The manually-operated Velmex Turntable does not.

Yes, Rotary Tables can be and are frequently combined with other slides to achieve a particular motion or positioning. Which stage used in conjunction with the Rotary Table will determine which adapter plate or bracket might be required.

Velmex Rotating Tables deliver precise, continuous rotating motion for scanning, assembly, testing and production. The tables are offered in two configurations – Rotary Tables and Turntables.

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.
