In three-axis machining, you’re constrained by the Cartesian coordinates. A lot of work can be done in these parameters, but manufacturers these days are creating ever more complex parts.
In the video above, we talk about how rotary tables can solve the problem of how to get A and B axes into a three axes machine with Brad Jones, national sales manager for EXSYS/Eppinger.
“Our Lehmann rotary tables allow for three-plus-one and three-plus-two applications,” said Jones. “The significant thing about Lehmann rotary tables is that we have an LED light system that indicates error codes, which can be identified, diagnosed and corrected to mitigate downtime as much as possible.”
The Lehmann rotary tables can be implemented with any machine, regardless of controls, Jones added.
“All we have to do is match the motors and make the right connections to get going.”
Total integration can be completed within one to two days and can be used in automotive, aerospace and general purpose machining applications.
“Because of the Lehmann rotary tables low footprint, existing space in the machine can be utilized for three-axis work if that’s what they want to do,” Jones added.
