FAQs
How do I choose the right Rotary Table for my CNC machine?
You must consider your workpiece size, maximum weight, required indexing accuracy, and the physical space available inside your machine tool envelope to ensure proper clearance.
Why is clamping torque important when selecting a Rotary Table?
Clamping torque determines how rigidly the table holds the part during machining. Higher torque is required for aggressive milling to prevent the table from slipping and inducing chatter.
What is the difference between pneumatic and hydraulic Rotary Tables?
Pneumatic tables use air and are great for light machining. Hydraulic tables use pressurized fluid to provide massive clamping force, making them essential for heavy-duty CNC milling
