vertical rotary table

A vertical rotary table is a precision device used in CNC machining or conventional milling machines to rotate a workpiece around a vertical axis. It allows the operator or CNC machine to perform complex operations like indexing, circular cutting, or machining at specific angles on a workpiece.

Here are the key points:

  1. Orientation:

    • The axis of rotation is vertical (perpendicular to the machine table).
    • Workpieces are typically mounted on top of the table.
  2. Purpose:

    • Enables rotational positioning of the workpiece for multi-angle machining.
    • Useful for operations like milling arcs, drilling evenly spaced holes, gear cutting, or creating circular patterns.
  3. Types:

    • Manual Vertical Rotary Table: Operated with a hand crank or worm gear.
    • CNC Vertical Rotary Table: Motorized and controlled by the machine’s CNC system for precise positioning and automation.
  4. Applications:

    • Drilling holes at precise angular intervals.
    • Machining circular slots or patterns.
    • Milling complex geometries requiring rotation around a vertical axis.
  5. Comparison with Horizontal Rotary Table:

    Feature Vertical Rotary Table Horizontal Rotary Table
    Axis orientation Vertical Horizontal
    Workpiece mounting On top On face or side
    Common use Drilling, gear cutting, circular patterns Contouring, 4th-axis milling, horizontal turning

In short, a vertical rotary table turns the workpiece vertically, letting the cutting tool reach it from different angles for precise, circular, or angular machining.
