Kitagawa Europe Focus Channel: Rotary Table Demo at XYZ Machine Tools in Devon, UK!

In our latest episode, we visit XYZ Machine Tools to demonstrate the ease and flexibility of Kitagawa's rotary tables with the Quinte controller. Sophia, Mike, and Hamish show how quickly a rotary table can be transferred between machines, making multi-axis machining more accessible than ever. In the video, you’ll witness a Kitagawa rotary table in action on an XYZ RMX5000, followed by its swift removal and installation onto an RMX3500—seamlessly transitioning between machines for a new machining operation. Traditionally, moving a 4th or 5th axis system would take significant time with built-in controls, but with the independent Quinte controller, the process is reduced to just under 10 minutes—perfect for a quick cup of tea! This flexibility minimizes machine downtime, allowing 4th and 5th axis operations to move where the work is needed. The Quinte controller also connects easily to any machining center’s M-code and safety circuits, meaning it can be used across different brands without the need for special integration. Whether you need 4th or 5th axis capabilities, Kitagawa’s rotary tables paired with the Quinte controller are the solution to improve efficiency and adaptability in your workshop. Watch the full video on the Kitagawa Europe Focus Channel to see the innovation in action! The Quinte series comes in three model types - the QTC101CS for single axis rotary tables, the QTC201CS for double axis rotary tables and finally the QTC301CS for larger single axis rotary tables with faceplate diameters of more than 320mm. With the remote-control option, you can use the CNC control on your machine and macro programming to directly send indexing commands to the Quinte, via the RS232 cable. There is no need to have separate programmes on the machine and the Quinte. Lines of the macro program are automatically transferred from the machine through the RS232 cable to the Quinte, when the Quinte receives a start signal from the machine M-Code it will execute one line of the macro program. When the communication protocols and signals are setup correctly there should be no need for the machine operator to interact with the Quinte. Stay tuned for more insights and demonstrations from the world of precision machining.
