The two main types of rotary tables are horizontal rotary tables, which are mounted flat to rotate workpieces horizontally, and vertical rotary tables, which are oriented upright to allow for machining on the side of a workpiece. These classifications are based on the table's mounting orientation and the resulting access to the workpiece for various machining operations.

Here's a breakdown of each type:

Horizontal Rotary Table

  • Orientation: Mounted flat, like a typical worktable.
  • Function: Ideal for machining flat surfaces or the top/bottom of round parts.
  • Applications: Used in heavy-duty machining tasks and for precise angular positioning around a workpiece's circumference.

Vertical Rotary Table

  • Orientation: Mounted upright.
  • Function: Provides access to the sides of a workpiece for operations like cylindrical machining or angled cuts.
  • Applications: Used for machining parts that require side access or for achieving specific vertical positioning.

Other variations and types exist, such as tilting rotary tables, which combine horizontal and vertical capabilities, and embedded-type rotary tables integrated into the machine tool for space savings.
