Royal Rota-Rack Parts Accumulator
Description
The Royal Rota-Rack is a device that enables any bar-fed CNC lathe to run unattended for extended periods of time. The unit indexes each time a finished part exits the machine, safely collecting and protecting finished workpieces.
The Rota-Rack consists of a heavy-duty welded steel turntable, solid-state PLC control, and an optional integrated conveyor. All contact surfaces are covered with a high-lubricity UHMW plastic for optimum workpiece protection. A one-meter diameter turntable provides over 850 in2 of usable surface area and has a payload capacity of 700 lb.
The universal design enables it to be used with any CNC lathe that is equipped with a parts catcher. The unit can be mounted either to the left or right side of the machine tool, and it is height-adjustable from 11 to 50 in.
Programming takes approximately 20 sec. with the intuitive touch-screen PLC control, and no machine tool interface is required. The Rota-Rack operates on standard 110V electrical power.
