How Can CNC Rotary Tables Assist You?

By Theodore Hillian


If you're not sure what product would best meet your fabrication, manufacturing, and production needs, perhaps you'd consider using CNC Rotary Tables for your business. These computer numerical control devices are commonly used in manufacturing companies and have replaced traditional machines.

CNC rotary tables, indexers, and its accessories offer a variety of uses that meets every large-scale metal-workpiece manufacturer's needs.

For example, Ganro Industrial Corp. (formerly operating under the name Golden Sun) offers CNC Rotary Tables to provide solutions to all rotating and indexing requirements in working on small to large work pieces. These gadgets can also be used for vertical or horizontal applications, manual or automated operations, and four- or five-axis works.

These wonderful machines also allow the processing of multiple workpieces, thereby improving fabrication and overall production processes. What's more, CNC rotary tables offer workpiece precision, lessens production errors, reduces production costs, and trims the manufacturing cycle times.

The Need for CNC Rotary Tables

Did you know most large-scale companies have automated its production processes with the help of CNC rotary table machines? This scenario is similar to Henry Ford's automated system when he mass-produced cars back in the early 1900s. With CNC rotary tables, you get accuracy and precision in metalworking.

What's more, these CNC devices can be used on a 24-hour-day, 365-day-year basis. They're switched off only for occasional maintenance.

As a positioning device, CNC rotary tables allow work applications at fixed or predetermined patterns. These devices are equipped with index plates, which allow operators to work on indexing tasks with ease. You can also perform work division with these CNC machines by fitting its dividing plates accordingly.

Primary Uses of CNC Rotary Tables

CNC rotary tables have a variety of uses. You can use them to bore holes on metal pieces; produce round shapes, cylinders, and cones; form complex curves, arcs, or angled shapes; and drill or cut at pre-programmed patterns.

5 Major Parts of a CNC Rotary Table

A typical rotary table has five primary parts:

Work table: This is the circular working area used to clamp down the workpiece.

The crank is the handle, which controls the rotational direction of the CNC rotary table.

Clamp: In every rotary table, there usually are two clamp levers, which are used to keep the table fixed at a particular angle.

Rotary tables usually have 2 bases: one is for vertical axis rotation; the other for horizontal rotation.

Indexing pins holds the rotary tables onto common angles.

What Advantages Can Be Derived from Using Rotary Tables?

Simply input a set of parameters on its controller, and these CNC devices will produce the programmed design at exactly the same pattern.

Moreover, CNC rotary tables can be easily upgraded; simply input updated software into its computer controller. There's no need to buy new hardware or install new accessories to improve its capacity. This is a cost-saving measure, which businesses would sure love to have.

Working on Metal Pieces with Rotary Tables

Always keep in mind; safety is the main concern whenever you're operating machinery. This includes working on CNC machines. Improper operation could result in an untoward accident. Inadequate protection may also expose the operator to risks of incurring injury. For novice operators, working the CNC device should be under the supervision of a qualified individual.
