Additional rotary tables

Additional rotary work tables with horizontal adjustment are optional equipment for horizontal plate machining centres and WRD series boring machines. 

Thanks to their design variability, they can also be adapted for machines from other manufacturers, making them a universal solution for precise heavy and large workpiece machining. 

These tables enable continuous positioning, interpolation in several axes and precise control of all movements via an integrated CNC system. 

They are suitable for both positioning operations and machining with table rotation, where the main cutting movement is provided by a tool clamped in the machine spindle.

Design and function

The additional rotary work table comprises a fixed bed, upon which a table with a horizontal rotating clamping surface mounted on a slide moves longitudinally. 
Control and operation are fully integrated into the machine’s CNC system and supplemented by electric servo drives that ensure smooth and precise movement. 

The position in coordinates is programmed with a 0.001° increment, which guarantees high precision even for complex machining tasks. 

The backlash-free drive of the B rotary axis uses the ‘Master & Slave’ system – a pair of independent servo drives for even and smooth transmission of movement and force.

Technical and operational characteristics
  • CNC-controlled table for clamping, positioning and interpolation in both linear and rotary axes 
  • Possibility of simultaneous control of multiple machine axes (e.g., interpolation in the B + X axes) 
  • The rotary axis can be used for both precise positioning and machining during rotation 
  • The B-axis drive uses the Master & Slave system 
  • Programming with 0.001° increment 
  • Integration into CNC machine control, including electric servo drives 
  • Optional  clamping surface design (T-slots, zero clamping points) 
  • Workpiece load capacity from 5 to 80 tonnes, depending on the design 
  • Option of table with or without linear travel 

Main advantages of additional tables

  • High positioning precision with 0.001° increment 
  • Direct integration into the machine CNC system 
  • Master & Slave system for even torque transfer 
  • Broad design options, clamping surface size according to customer requirements 
  • Load capacity up to 80 tonnes – ideal for heavy and large workpieces 
  • Optional customised clamping grooves and zero clamping points 
  • Max. load capacity of workpieces from 5 to 80 tonnes
  • The design of the clamping grooves can be adapted to
    the customer's requirements
  • Table control integration into
    the machine control system
