We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Rotary Table",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Precision gears for positional indexing from
Renold Gears, which we summarised at the time by saying "Dual-lead worm-gear sets are ideally suited for use in positional machinery as they provide a kinematically correct gear that can run in either direction of rotation".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Inspection is key to consistent quality from
ACI (UK): "Digital readout systems help Rotary Precision Instruments UK maintain its reputation for the supply of high precision rotary table solutions".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Micromech
concerning its Isel CNCmachine
- take a look at CNC machines bring down carving costs
which says: "The Isel machine is designed for production routing and drilling on a wide variety of materials including wood, plastic, MDF, solid surfacing materials and nonferrous metals".
Take a look also at the news release from Datum Electronics, Company orders huge torque calibrator,
as well as Dual-lead gears chosen for rotary table drives from Renold Gears,
and Rotary table bearings keep telescope on track from Schaeffler (UK).
