New Fully Integrated Rotary Table for Wire EDMs



Methods Machine Tools, Inc., a supplier of precision machine tools, automation and accessories, has introduced a FANUC-built CCR Rotary Table on its FANUC Wire EDMs, including on the RoboCut a-CiA Series.

"The new single access, easy-to-use CCR Rotary Table is available exclusively on FANUC RoboCut EDMs," said a company spokesperson. "The table provides the range of motion that manufacturers in industries such as aerospace and medical require and allows for greater speed, precision and rigidity in EDM processes."

The CCR Rotary Table is a fully integrated all stainless steel table that is capable of full "turn and burn" machining and has a water leak monitoring function that shuts the machine down upon water detection, to minimize potentially costly water-related repairs.

Completely built by FANUC in Japan, the CCR Rotary Table weighs 35.27 lbs. (16 kg) and takes up minimal space - 6.1" x 6.7" x 5.1" (155 mm x 170 mm x 130 mm) - allowing the operator to retain the full work envelope of the machine. According to the company, index accuracy is 12 seconds and repeatability accuracy is +/- 2 seconds. The table can allow up to a maximum workpiece weight of 88.2 lbs. (40 kg). Standard configuration includes a faceplate for mounting a variety of workhold chucks or fixtures.
