Here are lots of different implementations possible, so please ask us for an individual offer.

Profile bars of different shapes made of metal, plastics or wood often have to be processed from more than just one side. Using this special rotary axis, you can machine your profiles from three sides without having to re-chuck them – even next to your regular machining area (vacuum or T-slot table). Your material will be supported by a stable main beam. The axis itself can be steplessly rotated. However, typically it will be rotated – depending of the type of the profile material – in fixed angles of 45 or 90 degrees.

So diversified as your profile material may look, so universally we may design your rotary axis: the cuboidal main beam which is available with a length of up to six metres already in the standard program has T-slots on all sides. So you can fix or move all necessary clamping devices for your profiles without much effort. For instance, the clamp levers which are shown in the picture are available in many different sizes (in our example for profiles up to 60 x 120 mm). In addition to this you can also mount pneumatic fixing devices and hand-lever fixing devices. Whether you can drill, mill, engrave, chamfer or cut threads into your material depends only on the other equipment of your CAM system.
