4th Axis Rotary Tables
4th axis rotary tables expand the capabilities of conventional and CNC milling machines, enabling coordinated rotary positioning and angular machining without manual part repositioning. The model available in this line features servo motor drive and PLC-based angular positioning control, ensuring repeatability across programmed rotations. The hydraulic clamping unit locks the table rigidly during cutting. Suitable for parts requiring multiple faces or angular features machined in a single setup. Check the technical datasheet of the specific model that fits your application.
Specifications subject to change without notice. Some capacities listed may require optional accessories depending on the model. Refer to each unit's technical datasheet for exact dimensions and limitations.
Frequently asked questions
What is a 4th axis rotary table used for?
A 4th axis rotary table is an accessory mounted to a milling machine that rotates the workpiece to programmed angles during machining. This allows multiple faces or angular profiles to be machined without unclamping and repositioning the part manually. The result is reduced setup time, improved repeatability, and the ability to produce geometries that would be impractical on conventional fixed tables.
What is the difference between a servo-driven table and a manual or pneumatic one?
A servo-driven table — such as the MG-400 — performs coordinated rotations controlled by a PLC, with programmable and repeatable angular positioning. Manual tables rely on mechanical indexing by the operator, introducing potential errors and slower cycle times. Pneumatic tables index to fixed, predefined positions. The servo motor provides angular flexibility and direct integration with the milling machine's automatic cycle.
What are the technical specifications of the MG-400 rotary table?
The MG-400 features a 27.6 in (700 mm) diameter table, 8 T-slots for fixture mounting, a servo motor with 11 Nm of torque, and PLC-controlled coordinate-based rotation. It includes a hydraulic clamping unit to lock the table rigidly during the cutting pass, ensuring precision and stability. Refer to the full technical datasheet to confirm compatibility with your milling machine and specific application.
What types of parts or industries benefit from this equipment?
Industries such as automotive components, mold and die making, agricultural equipment, and precision machining benefit directly. The table is suited for parts requiring holes, slots, or profiles on multiple faces or at specific angles — such as hubs, flanges, valve bodies, and parts with helical geometries. Components with radial symmetry requiring precise angular distribution are typical applications.
