When Pacson came to evaluate rotary indexing units to enable valve bodies to be machined in a single cycle it should choose Kitagawa equipment; not just once, but twice!
The unit measures just 120 x 305 x 150mm and is suitable for high precision machining of components weighing up to 20kg.
It features a 40mm diameter through hole to accommodate extended length work pieces.
The DM100 can be operated either by Kitagawa's Mac Mini controller or via a direct 4th axis EDM machine interface; providing a maximum rotational speed of 3 rev/min and indexing repeatability of within 5 seconds of arc.
The equipment's rugged construction includes special purpose seals and extensive use of stainless steel components to ensure minimal servicing requirements over an extended service life.
