RPI supplies rotary tables to CMM manufacturers

RPI UK, specialist developer and manufacturer of precision positioning devices for high accuracy rotary and angular inspection systems, has successfully supplied four rotary tables to coordinate measuring machine manufacturer Nikon Metrology and another CMM manufacturer.

Castle-Donnington-based Nikon Metrology took delivery of two RPI rotary tables measuring 400mm and 600mm diameter, whilst the other CMM manufacturer received two 400mm diameter rotary tables.

The tables will now be integrated into both companies' CMM machines in order to help measure symmetrical/prismatic components such as rotor discs.

As well as improving overall measurement accuracy and reducing uncertainty in CMM machines, rotary tables also greatly increase a CMM machine’s available measuring volume thereby providing greater flexibility in what can be measured.

Jim Palmer, sales manager at RPI said: “We are delighted we’ve successfully supplied CMM rotary tables to two of the world’s leading CMM manufacturers. RPI’s rotary tables bring significant benefits to CMM machines and will help end users save money, time and resources by reducing set-up and process times, thereby greatly improving productivity.”

RPI has supplied more than 245 rotary tables to Nikon since the business partnership began back in 1982. Matt Brady at Nikon Metrology UK said: “We’ve been fitting RPI’s tables to our CMM machines for decades and as far as we are concerned they deliver a fantastic product with excellent back up. If you want precision and accuracy, they’re the ones to go to.”

RPI’s rotary tables have been specifically designed as a fourth axis for all types of precision CMM machines and are accurate to ±0.5 arcs seconds.
