The body of the Kitagawa CK160 rotary table is 99 mm deep, giving it the company believes, a smaller footprint than any other model on the market. The ultra-compact 4th axis is suitable for mounting on the table of a BT30-taper machining centre and effectively increases machining envelope on any size of machine.
The Kitagawa CK160 rotary table's thin profile also makes suitable for use with an opposing trunnion for securing and rotating a workpiece between centres in limited working areas. It may be orientated in the horizontal or vertical plane.
The CK160 and built-in rotary joint CKR160 – both versions being 99 mm deep – are available in the UK through 1st Machine Tool Accessories. The rotary joint, which has seven ports for pneumatic and hydraulic supplies (but not coolant), allows the unit to operate on the C-axis of a 4-axis machining centre.
Product specifications include a 114 mm diameter table, 65 mm through-hole (on the CK160), 140 mm centre height, 340 Nm pneumatic clamping and 41.6 rpm maximum rotational speed. Indexing accuracy is 20 arc-sec, with 4 arc-sec repeatability. Workpieces up to 160 kg can be supported with the table mounted horizontally, or 80 kg if mounted vertically.
