We only install OEM Motors & Controllers to guarantee 100% compatibility with the machine control.  All Tables are run for 4 hours at our factory to guarantee repeat-ability and re-checked after shipping in Chicago to verify all parameters exceed specification.

  • Table Installation 
  • Parameter Updates

Rotary Tables are configured 2 different ways:
  1. Indexer using a secondary controller for part positioning (simultaneous or contour milling is not possible).
  2. Rotary Table which is wired directly to the machine control and functions as an additional true axis of the machine. This configuration can be used for positioning and simultaneous cutting.
While the cost of installation is a little higher than a secondary controller the benefits and options are dramatically improved. For a Rotary Table installation the machine and control must be 4th or 5th axis ready.

Machine Control Types:

Due to the amount of different machine control types in the market today we install on any Fanuc based control system.  Some custom controls (Haas, Mazak, Okuma, etc) are available but with the assistance of the machine tool dealer for parts and control programming.  The machine must have open ports for 4th and or 5th axis controls, amplifiers, etc for installation of any true axis. If no ports are available installation is still possible using a secondary index controller but this limits the table to positioning only, contour milling is not possible in this configuration.
