Many of the common uses of a rotary table have become redundant with the introduction of numerical control. Radial profiles are now achieved by circular interpolation, and the positioning of holes or slots in angular relationship to each other, possibly using polar coordinates, has been reduced to nothing more complicated than a simple one-block data…
MAKINO – a51nx-5XU Horizontal Machining 5-Axis
Technical Specifications As Makino’s industry-leading a51nx, the linear X-, Y- and Z-axes of it, are assembled from the same-tiered column, bed and rigid casting structure. Axis motions like rotary B- and C-axis derive from a pair of responsive (75 / 150 rpm) direct-drive motors. Both motors are located in an essential cast structure. This gets…
