Operating Instructions & Parts Manual Horizontal Rotary Tables Dividing Plates Operation: Rotary Table Refer to Figures 4 thru 8. 1. Always rotate handwheel (Ref.No.46) clockwise. This will eliminate any backlash in the worm gear. If handwheel is rotated past desired position, rotate handwheel one full turn counterclockwise and then rotate handwheel clockwise to desired position. 2. The worm shaft (Ref. No.31) can be disengaged from the table (Ref. No 2) so that operator can rotate table by hand. Loosen handle (Ref. No. 25) by turning it counterclockwise, loosen handle (Ref. No 39) and turn vernier collar (Ref. No 40) clockwise until it is snug. Table can now be rotated by hand. To engage worm shaft, turn back vernier collar. Secure handle ( Ref. No. 25) 3. Table is locked into position by rotating clamp handles ( Ref.No. 7) clockwise until snug. Turn handles counterclockwise to free table. Turning the handle (Ref. No. 47) after loosening handle (Ref.No. 39) rotates the table. 4. The table is provided with a scale to indicate the angle of rotation. The indicator (Ref.No. 22) can be used to verify the angle of rotation on scale. The indicator can be adjusted by loosening the knob (Ref.No.23) and moving the indicator along the slot. Secure knob after completing adjustment. 5. The center sleeve has been ground to a Morse Taper. Centers with a Morse Taper shank can be mounted to the rotary table for precision centering and measuring operations. (see dimensions in Fig. 1 for MT of ea. table.) 6. The gear ratio of the rotary table is 1:90 so that 90 rotations of the handwheel rotate exactly one full rotation. One rotation of the handwheel is equal to 4 rotation of the table. The micro collar is graduated into one minute increments. 7. A vernier scale is provided on the vernier collar (Ref. No. 40) for measurement of angle rotation to an accuracy of ten seconds. 8. Read the degrees and minutes from the micro collar and use the vernier collar scale to read ten seconds. Dividing Plate Accessory Refer to Figures 2, 3, and 4, 5, or 6 The dividing plate accessory ( 241‐101) is used to divide one 360 table rotation into 2‐66 and all divisible by 2, 3, and 5 from 67‐132 equal divisions. The gear ratio of the rotary table is 1:90 so 90 rotations of the handwheel rotate table one full rotation. Therefore for one full rotation of the table, the number of handwheel rotations per divisions "N" times the number of divisions "T" is equal to 90 rotations of the handwheel. So N x T= 90 or N = 90 T. The dividing chart ( page 4) was developed using this relationship. For example if 17 divisions are required, then T=17, so N= = 5 .

Operating Instructions & Parts Manual Horizontal Rotary Tables Dividing Plates To assemble the dividing plate attachment to the rotary table, remove handwheel (Ref.No.46). Bolt the required plate to the collar using 4 screws (Figure 3, Ref No. 3). Slide the sector (Figure 3, Ref. No 4) over the worm shaft and eccentric sleeve (Ref.Nos.31 and 37) with the sector screw exposed. Secure sector by sliding spring washer (Figure 3, Ref. No.5) against sector and into slot in eccentric sleeve. Slide crank arm (Figure 3, Ref.No.7) over flats at end of worm shaft and secure with spacer and nut ( Ref. Nos. 50 and 51) . Spread the sector arms so that exactly 11 holes on the 34 hole circle are between the arms( see Figure 2). Tighten the sector screw. 1. Rotate the sector so that the sector arm is against the plunger assembly as in Figure 2A. 2. Rotate the plunger assembly clockwise 5 full rotations and 10/34 of the a rotation by placing the plunger assembly against the sector arm as in Figure 2B. 3. Rotate sector clockwise so that first arm is against plunger assembly as in Figure 2C. Repeat steps 1, 2 and 3 for each division. The dividing chart (Page 4) shows that for 19 divisions the plate with 38 holes is required and each division needs 4 full rotation plus 28/38 of a rotation. The dividing chart shows that for 53 divisions, each division requires 1 and 37/53 rotations, etc. For even divisions of 90 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 30 and 45) simply rotate the crank arm required number of full turns using the same hole on any plate. Maintenance Refer to Figure 4 thru 8. Worm Shaft Adjustment To adjust for wear in the worm shaft, the lock nut ( Ref.No.35) must be adjusted. Remove handwheel (Ref No. 46) and spacer (Ref No. 36) Tighten locknut until play is removed from engaged worm shaft and clamping surface. Do not over‐tighten locknut. Replace spacer and handwheel. Eccentric Sleeve limit screw adjustment The threaded pin (Ref No 29) regulates the rotation at eccentric sleeve. If the worm shaft does not engage table properly when vernier collar is rotated counterclockwise, then unscrew set screw ( Ref No, 28) and adjust the threaded pin until proper engagement is achieved. Note: For model 221‐308set screw ( Ref No. 28) and threaded pin (Ref No.29) is located in lower right corner of the bottom of the base casting (Ref No. 1) Pg. 5...
