What is CNC Rotary Table?
A CNC rotary table is an indispensable part of modern manufacturing technology that performs precise angular positioning and indexing operations on lathes and milling machines.
A CNC (Computer Numerical Control) rotary table or indexer is a specialized CNC accessory system that enables precise rotation and fixation of workpieces at specific angles. Also known as a 4th axis or 5th axis system, it allows machining of complex geometry parts in a single setup.
How Does It Work?
The CNC rotary table works integrated with the machine's control unit, rotating the workpiece with micron-level precision. Driven by servo or stepper motors, the system automatically positions and locks at programmed angles. This enables complex operations without operator intervention.
Advantages of Using CNC Rotary Table
High Precision
Micron-level angular positioning and repeatability
Productivity Increase
Multi-surface machining in single setup, up to 70% reduction in setup time
Complex Geometry
Production of helical, contour and multi-surface parts
Operator Independence
Fully automatic operation minimizes human error
Cost Savings
Reduced scrap, increased quality and lower labor costs
Flexibility
Quick adaptation for different part diameters and geometries
Application Areas
Types of Rotary Tables
Horizontal Rotary Tables
Most commonly used type in milling machines. Workpiece rotates on horizontal axis.
Vertical Rotary Tables
Ideal for applications requiring rotation on vertical axis.
Tilt-Rotary Tables
5-axis machining capability. Can perform both rotation and tilt movements.
CNC Rotary Tables
Continuous rotation and positioning. High torque capacity.
Criteria for Selecting the Right Rotary Table
