KOMA Precision Inc. introduces a new line of high accuracy, high rigidity, energy saving and zero maintenance rotary tables from Tsudakoma, the world's leading manufacturer of high-quality, precision rotary tables. The RG Series rotary tables are built using the new ball drive system featuring advantages like zero backlash, improved cycle times, energy conservation and a lifetime adjustment-free transmission system.
Three new models are available, with face-plate capacity of RG-160 being 6.3" (160 mm), RG-250 with 8.27" (210 mm) and RG-320 with 10.04" (255 mm). The RG Series tables' are highly rigid and have increased clamp torque delivered by the new improved clamp system design. Various options such as chucks, tailstocks, support spindles, and faceplates are available. Pneumatic and Hydraulic rotary joints for automatic load and unload of the work piece are also available.
The new Ball Drive System Technology features high speed indexing and zero backlash that result in shorter cycle times. This new technology also delivers the industry's highest torque transmission efficiency.
"Koma Precision, Inc. and Tsudakoma share a commitment to providing quality products that maximize the performance of machine centers," states Frank Cerrito, Inside Sales Manager for KOMA Precision, Inc. "The features offered on the RG Series are ideal for those looking for economical ways to improve the flexibility and productivity of their operation without compromising rigidity and accuracy."
Related Glossary Terms
- backlash
backlash
Reaction in dynamic motion systems where potential energy that was created while the object was in motion is released when the object stops. Release of this potential energy or inertia causes the device to quickly snap backward relative to the last direction of motion. Backlash can cause a system’s final resting position to be different from what was intended and from where the control system intended to stop the device.
- centers
centers
Cone-shaped pins that support a workpiece by one or two ends during machining. The centers fit into holes drilled in the workpiece ends. Centers that turn with the workpiece are called “live” centers; those that do not are called “dead” centers.
