What Is a 4th Axis Rotary Table?
A 4th axis rotary table is a device that mounts to a 3-axis CNC machine and provides the ability to rotate workpieces around a fourth coordinate axis. This added functionality enables parts to be machined in more complex ways, which can lead to increased productivity.
How Do 4th Axis Rotary Tables Work?
The 4th axis rotary table is mounted to the machine in such a way that it can rotate around the Z-axis (vertical axis), while the workpiece is mounted to the table so that it can rotate around the X- and Y-axes (horizontal axes). This allows the workpiece to be machined in more complex ways, such as cylindrical or conical shapes.
Why Use 4th Axis CNC Rotary Tables?
There are several reasons why you might want to use a 4th axis rotary table:
- Increased Productivity: They can increase the productivity of your CNC machine by allowing it to machine parts in more complex ways.
- Greater Accuracy: The added functionality can lead to increased accuracy when machining parts.
- Increased Flexibility: They can also increase the flexibility of your CNC machine by allowing it to be used for more than one type of operation.
How to Choose Your Rotary Table
When choosing 4th axis rotary tables, there are several factors you should consider:
- Size: The first thing you need to do is determine the size of the table you need. You will need to take into account the size of the workpiece you will be machining.
- Type: There are two types of 4th axis rotary tables: manual and powered. Choose the type that is best suited for your needs.
- Construction: Make sure to choose a rotary table that is made from high-quality materials and is built to last.
