The use of rotary tables allows the benefits of one-hit machining to be exploited to the full.
Through this process, the majority of metal cutting requirements can be undertaken by a single machining centre, irrespective of component complexity.
The advantages of such a technique are clear. They include: only one machine set-up ; one fixturing set-up ; cost and time savings associated with reduced parts handling ; and the elimination of tolerance errors accumulated as workpieces are moved from machine to machine.
Kitagawa’s 5-axis rotary tables can be made available with a built-in rotary joint, simplifying the pipework that would be needed for additional workholding, such as a power chuck.
Kitagawa’s extensive range of power chucks when combined with the range of rotary tables allows for a huge amount of flexibility in your machining environment and gives a workholding combination that can only be provided by Kitagawa.
