A fully water and rustproof precision rotary table for EDM users is equipped with a 100mm diameter stainless steel table, ready drilled and tapped to accept a chuck or component fixture
The DM100, Kitagawa's first fully water and rustproof precision rotary table, is now available following its UK preview at the MACH 2006 show in May. Designed specifically to meet the requirements of EDM machine users, the compact and low-cost DM100 is equipped with a 100mm diameter stainless steel table, ready drilled and tapped to accept a chuck or component fixture.
The unit measures just 120 x 305 x 150mm and is suitable for high precision machining of components weighing up to 20kg.
It features a 40mm diameter through hole to accommodate extended length work pieces.
The DM100 can be operated either by Kitagawa's Mac Mini controller or via a direct 4th axis EDM machine interface; providing a maximum rotational speed of 3 rev/min and indexing repeatability of within 5 seconds of arc.
The equipment's rugged construction includes special purpose seals and extensive use of stainless steel components to ensure minimal servicing requirements over an extended service life.
Similarly, special attention has been paid to ensure effective earthing of the rotary table, work holding and component in operation.
The unit is also backed by Kitagawa's 60 years of chuck and work holding experience and is now available ex-stock.
