Complex, multi-operation workpieces have always required a compromise between multiple component machining or multiple operation machining. Many organizations accept that full 5 axis machining can only be applied to single components. With the TW series rotary tables from Kitagawa, you can have the best of both worlds. Full 5 axis machining on multiple workpieces with all the productivity benefits that brings. Tables are available with rotary joints. RAV specification comes with an external controller that functions off an M-Code, used for machines that do not have 4th axis preparation.
