5AX-200II DUAL-AXIS CNC ROTARY TABLE FROM LYNDEX-NIKKEN IS DESIGNED FOR HIGH-SPEED ROTATION

The 5AX-200II CNC Rotary Table from Lyndex-Nikken performs with high accuracy and with the fastest rotating and tilting speeds in the industry while providing exceptional brake torque.


The 5AX-200II CNC Rotary Table from Lyndex-Nikken performs with high accuracy and with the fastest rotating and tilting speeds in the industry while providing exceptional brake torque. Nikken's unique patented carbide worm system assures wear resistance, rigidity and the rapid speeds of this rotary table.

The carbide worm system uses a carbide worm screw and an ion nitrided worm wheel, rather than a conventional bronze or bronze alloy actuation mechanism. The result is a reduction in friction and wear by up to eight times. This also reduces backlash drastically, when compared to the standard bronze worm gears of other manufacturers. The worm screw consists of a less brittle V-grade form of carbide, while the worm gear is ion nitrided to a depth of 0.1mm and an external surface hardness of 68 Rc. These properties, as well as a steel way hardened to 58 Rc to 60 Rc, all work to enhance system rigidity and longevity.

llowing for the machining of five sides of a workpiece, the 5AX-200II is ideal for medical 5-axis work. It features a drop trunion and clamping torque of 588/490Nm. The faceplate diameter of this rotary table is 200mm and maximum work load is 176lbs. It offers secure gripping capability for unprecedented accuracy. Various options are available to meet workholding, fixturing and chucking requirements.

The proven tightening technology of Nikken's Ultra-LockT Milling Chuck is applied to be the brake of the tilting axis of this 5-axis rotary table. This virtually eliminates vibration at any tilting angle, and provides the rigidity necessary to perform heavy-duty operations including face milling and heavy drilling.

ALL NIKKEN ROTARY TABLES HAVE BUILT-IN FEATURES AND BENEFITS, INCLUDING:

  • Ion-nitrided worm wheels and carbide worm screws reduce friction and wear by up to 8 times (compared to those made of common phosphorous bronze and aluminum bronze).
  • Exceptional brake torque and weight load capacities allow Nikken's Rotary Tables to handle the toughest applications.
  • Nikken's Rotary Tables can be supplied in single and multiple spindle versions, with several options for motor mounting position, including right side, left side, back and top.
  • Tilting Tables are available from 5 in. to 22 in. diameter.
  • Ultra precision rotary hirth coupling indexers are also available in many sizes.
  • Nikken's independent Alpha21 controller offers RS-232 communication capabilities.
