Unknown - Rotary Table

• Used for precise angular positioning of workpieces in machining operations such as milling, drilling, and grinding.
• Commonly integrated into automated assembly lines for indexing components through various stages.
• Utilised in inspection processes to present different facets of a part to measurement sensors.
• Applicable in welding and fabrication for rotating parts to achieve optimal weld positions.

Typical table diameter

For this class of equipment, diameters commonly range from 150mm to 600mm, though larger industrial units exist.

Indexing accuracy

Typically, manual rotary tables offer accuracy in the range of 1-5 arc minutes, while CNC versions can achieve much finer precision.

Load capacity

The maximum permissible load on the table varies significantly, commonly from tens to hundreds of kilograms, depending on the unit's construction.

Power supply

Manual rotary tables do not require an external power supply. Motorised or CNC units typically operate on 240V single-phase or 400V three-phase AC.

Control type

Units are commonly found as manual (handwheel operated) or motorised, with some advanced models offering full CNC integration.

Mounting interface

Typically features T-slots on the table surface for securing workpieces and a base designed for mounting to machine tables.

• What is the difference between a rotary table and an indexing head?

  A rotary table allows for continuous rotation and precise angular positioning, often with a worm gear mechanism. An indexing head is primarily designed for dividing a circle into a specific number of equal parts, typically for gear cutting or multi-sided machining.

• Can this unit be integrated with a CNC machine?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used rotary table?

• Are spare parts readily available for unknown manufacturer units?

• What should I check when buying a 'sold as seen' rotary table?

Rotary tables and indexing systems are valued in food processing for their reliability in automating product handling and storage workflows. Buyers typically prioritise stainless steel construction and corrosion resistance given food safety requirements. When purchasing used equipment, inspectors should check bearing condition, indexing accuracy, and cleanliness of surfaces. Industry sentiment favours models with straightforward maintenance and proven track records in high-volume production environments. Durability and precise positioning capabilities remain key strengths attracting continued buyer interest.
