Haas HRT160SS super speed rotary table offers further cycle time reductions

Adding a 4th-axis rotary table to a fast machining centre boosts productivity, reduces set-ups, and increases accuracy on multi-op parts, but says Haas Automation, teamed with its HRT160SS super speed rotary table cycles times can be slashed even further.
The HRT160SS super speed rotary table from Haas Automation provides indexing speeds up to 570°-sec to take advantage of the increased speeds and feeds of today's high speed machining centres. Haas engineers have optimised oil patterns to reduce drag, modified the brake system for faster response, and increased acceleration and deceleration rates to gain the highest possible performance from the HRT160SS without sacrificing reliability or longevity.
The Haas HRT160SS is designed to complement the high performance Haas DT-1 drill/tap centre, and is more than four times faster than the standard HRT160 rotary table. With its compact size, the HRT160SS easily fits into the work envelope of the DT-1, as well as other compact machining centres.
The Haas HRT160SS is driven by a high torque brushless servomotor that provides 203 Nm of spindle torque for synchronous 4-axis machining, and it has a pneumatic brake that yields 136 Nm of holding torque for stationary work. Indexing accuracy is ±15 arc-sec, with repeatability of 10 arc-sec.
The 160 mm platter of the HRT160SS has a centre height of 127 mm, and a 38 mm diameter through-hole. Six radial T-slots simplify fixture and workpiece mounting, and both manual and pneumatic tailstocks are available for additional workpiece support.
