Rotary Tables & Indexing Solutions

A 4th-axis rotary table adds one rotational axis to a compatible CNC machining center, allowing a workpiece to be indexed or rotated for machining additional faces. A 5-axis rotary system typically adds both rotation and tilt, allowing more flexible positioning of complex parts.

Fourth-axis systems are often used for indexed multi-face machining. Five-axis configurations can support more complex workpiece orientations and, when the CNC machine and control permit, simultaneous multi-axis operations. Machine compatibility, workpiece clearance, and required machining movements determine the appropriate solution.

Yes, many CNC machining centers can accommodate an additional rotary table, provided the machine's CNC control, electrical connections, mounting provisions, and available workspace support the installation. Compatibility must be verified for the specific machine and rotary table combination.

Important considerations include the rotary table's overall dimensions, weight, servo requirements, workholding arrangement, clamping capacity, and workpiece clearance. Some machines may require additional control options or integration work. Yamazen can help evaluate suitable configurations for compatible machining centers.

The most important factors when selecting a CNC rotary table are machine compatibility, required axes of movement, workpiece weight, table dimensions, positioning accuracy, indexing speed, and clamping rigidity. The system must also provide sufficient clearance for the fixture, cutting tool, and spindle.

Applications requiring simple indexing may need a different configuration from those requiring continuous rotary movement or simultaneous 5-axis machining. For example, the Brother SPEEDIO T-200A offers indexing speeds up to 100 rpm, but that specification should be evaluated alongside machine compatibility and the application's cutting requirements.
