2. Select Faceplate Diameter
  Faceplate Diameter Choices
Workpiece Diameter: Must be within the rotary table diameter

Section 2 Select Rotary 1 and 2

 

section 2 select rotary 1 2 and 3

 

Ø125Ø170Ø210
Workpiece Weight: Must be within the chosen table load specifications
Workpiece Positioning:  The value of the (F x L) should be within the torque forceØ255Ø320Ø400
When the Eccentric Load is Applied:  The workpiece inertia should be within the allowable value
Workpiece of Larger Diameter, but Lighter Weight:  The workpiece must not interface with the machine toolØ500Ø630Ø800
3. Determine Servo System

Additional Axis (the 4th or 5th axis) Installed in the Machine Tool Control

1When simultaneous machining with the X / Y / Z axis is required.
2Rotary table programming is input at the machine tool control.
 4th (or 5th Axis M/C
Independent Controller (M-Signal) Used1When the compatible servo amplifier for the 4th or 5th axis is not available.
2Rotary Table programming should be input directly into the independent control.

Ensure that there is no interference among the rotary table, workpiece, and machine tool.

Weight1 Check that the control weight of the workpiece and rotary table is within the allowable load of the machine
X-Axis2 Check the workpiece length to ensure it fits on the machine table.
X-Axis3Check if the maximum allowed protrusion of the base plate is less than 10mm at both ends.
Y-Axis4Check to ensure no interference with the column.
Y-Axis5Check to ensure there is no interference with the splash guard.
Z-Axis6Check if the effective stroke on the Z-axis is acceptable.
