Rotary Counter

The rotary table consists of a Meehanite cast iron structure housing a 360 degree rotary system with a hydraulic locking function. The table can be rotated by electronic hand-wheel or CNC command to any indexing position or programmed to move continuously at a specified speed in either direction. The rotary movement is powered by a brushless AC servo motor and accuracy and repeatability of this B axis movement is guaranteed by the Heidenhain rotary encoder feedback system. The rotary table travels along the top of a rotary table base on re-circulating crossed roller bearings along the precision ground X axis linear ways, driven by the CNC controlled AC servo motor and precision ball-screw mechanism. The standard feedback system is by Heidenhain encoder mounted on the end of the ball-screw, with the option of employing a Heidenhain linear glass scale feedback system for even higher accuracy and repeatability. The standard rotary table is enhanced with a twin pallet changer system, but this can be modified to automatically receive pallets from a variety of pallet changer options, including complete flexible manufacturing systems.
