Hillary Machinery supplies SAMCHULLY NC rotary tables and indexers for fourth-axis positioning, tilt-table applications and multi-sided CNC machining. Compare standalone-controller and machine-integrated configurations around your part, fixture and machining sequence. Our team helps evaluate table size, load capacity, workholding and control compatibility for new or existing CNC machining centers.

SAMCHULLY NC Rotary Tables and Indexers for CNC Machining

Hillary Machinery supplies NC rotary tables, rotary indexers and tilting rotary tables for compatible CNC machining centers. These systems position the workpiece to give cutting tools access to additional faces, angles and features while reducing the need for repeated manual repositioning.

The right SAMCHULLY configuration depends on the part, fixture, machining sequence and CNC control. Our team helps review the complete setup before recommending a rotary table or indexer.

4th-Axis Indexing and Rotary Machining

A fourth-axis rotary table adds rotational positioning to a compatible machining center. For indexed machining, the table positions the workpiece at a programmed angle before the cutting operation begins. This can be useful for bolt patterns, features around cylindrical parts and machining several faces of a component.

Machining while the rotary axis moves requires a suitable table and CNC configuration. Confirm the required motion and control functions when selecting the equipment.

Tilt Rotary Tables for 4th- and 5th-Axis Applications

Tilting rotary tables combine rotation with angular positioning to present the workpiece to the spindle from additional directions. Depending on the machine and control, these configurations can support indexed multi-sided machining or coordinated rotary-axis machining.

Adding a tilt table does not automatically provide simultaneous five-axis machining. The table, drives, CNC options, programming and available machine clearances must support the intended process.

Standalone Controllers and CNC-Integrated Rotary Tables

Standalone-controller rotary indexers use a separate controller to command programmed positioning moves. They can be an option for suitable indexing applications when the required communication with the host machine is available.

CNC-integrated rotary tables operate through the machining center's control and require compatible axis hardware, software and interfaces. Establish whether the job needs indexing between cuts or coordinated motion during cutting before choosing the control arrangement.

Choosing the Right NC Rotary Table or Indexer

Select the table around the complete workholding assembly, not the part weight alone. Important considerations include:

  • Table size: faceplate dimensions, mounting pattern and fixture footprint.
  • Load capacity: combined workpiece and fixture weight, load position and mounting orientation.
  • Clearance: center height, workpiece swing, tool access and enclosure space throughout the intended motion.
  • Through-hole: required passage for the workpiece or fixture, where applicable.
  • Positioning: indexing accuracy, repeatability and the required range of movement.
  • Clamping: holding requirements for the planned cutting forces.
  • Control compatibility: machine model, CNC control, available axis options and interface requirements.
  • Accessories: tailstocks, chucks, collet systems, supports and required air or hydraulic equipment.

SAMCHULLY Rotary Table Configurations

SAMCHULLY offers several rotary-table families, including S Series standard rotary tables, HRS Series big-bore rotary tables and TR Series tilting rotary tables. Controller-equipped configurations are available within selected product families.

Compare the specific model's capacity, mounting arrangement, motor and control requirements against the intended machining process. Workholding and support accessories should be selected as part of the same application.

Rotary Tables for New and Existing CNC Machines

A rotary table can expand the capabilities of suitable existing CNC equipment, but compatibility should be established before purchase. Review the machine's control and axis provisions, available work envelope, mounting space and access for tools, fixtures and operators.

The rotary table and fixture occupy part of the machining area. Check the complete setup against axis travel, spindle clearance and the space needed to load and unload the component.
