Do You Want an Offer?
Here are lots of different implementations possible, so please ask us for an individual offer.
Using a rotary axis, you can process your workpieces from all sides. So it becomes possible to produce complex three-dimensional objects. The axis can be moved steplessly which means a real four-axis machining. For this kind of machining, you just need an appropriate CAM software, as all vhf machines are already well prepared with their controllers.
This sort of rotary axis is available in three different sizes. Each rotary axis can be either implemented with or without a tailstock unit. A tailstock unit with centre sleeve is necessary when you have to process longer objects which cannot be held only with the jaw chuck of the rotary axis, but need additional support on the other side by the centre sleeve. The tailstock unit is positionable on sliding rails or a hole plate and can be adjusted with a setting screw exactly to the length of your workpiece.

Rotary axis type L with three-jaw chuck, mounted in the rear clamping range of a Premium system. |
If you need a very high machining precision, we recommend to use the rotary axis type XL. Considering the great number of possible implementations, we would like to ask you for your typical workpiece dimensions which you have to process with the rotary axis. So we can offer you an individual solution.
