What is the function of indexing rotary table?

Indexing rotary table can add many functions to the machine tool. Using the indexing dial, you can:

Make a straight cut at any Angle

Cut circles or arcs into your parts.

Cut large diameter holes in parts without larger drills or stronger milling cutters, cut complex curves into your parts, drill holes, accurately cut gears, drill holes in bolt circles at precise intervals

When used with indexing head and dial, the indexing table can be rotated in controlled increments to allow precise angles to be milling on round holes of stock or positioning bolts. And the operator is not limited to placing the rotary table flat on his workbench. They can be mounted horizontally, used in conjunction with the tailstock, and can be milled between centers. This is very useful when drilling holes or holes in circular gears.

Used in conjunction with a three-jaw chuck, the indexing rotary table can hold round parts, accurately mill diameters, bore holes of various sizes, mill slots at any Angle required for the workpiece, and cut hexagonal faces so that the surface of the wrench holds a portion.

The installation

The indexing table can also be mounted on the tilting table for milling compound angles. This allows the machine shop to mill more complex parts and do more business. With the indexing rotary table, the operator can easily mill curves into workpieces. Placing the table in the center of the milling head, the diameter can be set and milled to give a complete circle or part of a circle.
