Common CNC systems can be supported after the exact control model, communication interface and machine configuration are confirmed.
A 5th axis CNC rotary table combines rotation and tilting so a workpiece can be positioned at multiple angles. It can reduce repeated manual clamping when machining several faces, angled holes, fixtures, molds and small complex components.
These tables can be evaluated for indexed 3+2 positioning or for integrated simultaneous machining, depending on the table design, servo system and CNC control. An external retrofit controller is mainly intended for positioning and indexing. Applications requiring continuous coordinated X/Y/Z/A/C motion need a CNC control, servo configuration and CAM postprocessor that support true simultaneous 5-axis machining.
Choosing the correct table requires checking the complete machine and process rather than table diameter alone. For an indexed retrofit, review the YD-1 external axis controller and our CNC rotary table retrofit solution. Contact us with machine photos and workpiece information for compatibility evaluation.
Yidai external axis retrofit advantages
Matched rotary tables, servo hardware and external control options for indexed machining projects.
Common CNC systems can be supported after the exact control model, communication interface and machine configuration are confirmed.
On supported TCP/IP integrations, operators can jog the 4th or 5th axis from the CNC's built-in handwheel without adding a separate MPG or control pendant.
A complete external-axis project can substantially reduce investment compared with an OEM additional-axis package, depending on the machine and project scope.
External control is intended primarily for indexed positioning and multi-face machining. Full simultaneous interpolation requires a separate CNC and servo-architecture review.
