ROTARY TABLE TILTING-4-3/8

A tilting rotary table is a specialized tool used in machining and manufacturing processes, particularly in metalworking. It’s designed to provide precise positioning and rotation of workpieces during milling, drilling, or other machining operations.

Here are some key features and functionalities of a tilting rotary table:

1. Rotation: Like a standard rotary table, a tilting rotary table can rotate the workpiece around a central axis. This rotation allows for precise machining operations at various angles and orientations.
2. Tilting Capability: What distinguishes a tilting rotary table is its ability to tilt the workpiece at an angle relative to the horizontal plane. This tilting feature enables machining operations to be performed at angles other than just parallel or perpendicular to the machine’s axis.
3. Precision Graduations: Tilting rotary tables typically have precision graduations marked around the periphery, allowing the operator to accurately set and measure the angle of tilt or rotation.
4. Locking Mechanisms: To maintain stability and accuracy during machining, tilting rotary tables are equipped with locking mechanisms. These mechanisms secure the table in place once the desired angle is set, preventing any unintended movement during operation.
5. Compatibility: Tilting rotary tables are often designed to be compatible with various machining equipment, such as milling machines and drill presses. They can be attached to the machine’s worktable or used in conjunction with other fixtures and tooling.
6. Versatility: The ability to tilt and rotate workpieces opens up a wide range of machining possibilities, including the creation of complex geometries, angled cuts, and compound angles that may be difficult to achieve using conventional machining methods.

Tilting rotary tables are commonly used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and precision engineering, where precision and versatility in machining operations are paramount. They are valuable tools for producing intricate components and parts with high accuracy and efficiency.
