FAQs

Why is a large bore tilting table necessary for bore drill manufacturing?

It allows complex bore drills to be machined across multiple angles in a single setup. By accommodating larger workpieces and eliminating manual re-fixturing, manufacturers drastically reduce downtime and dimensional errors.

What level of precision does the UCAM ULBR 400 TN RH provide?

It delivers exceptional precision for complex angular machining, featuring a rotary axis indexing accuracy of ±15 arc seconds and repeatability of ±4 arc seconds. This ensures consistent tolerances across every cycle.

How does a CNC tilting table improve tool life and surface quality?

Vibration causes premature tool wear and poor surface finishes. UCAM’s high-rigidity tilting table securely anchors the workpiece at extreme angles without external supports, eliminating chatter and directly extending cutting tool life.
