October 19, 2010

Equals 4th-axis multi-part production for reduced manufacturing cost.

Plate and cube trunnions are add-on accessories for rotary tables or indexers that will allow multiple part positioning in a tilting, dual-axis set up. The plate has a machineable area on two surfaces with an adjustable centerline to accommodate various part heights. The cube is a solid aluminum block. One end of the plate or cube is supported with a bearing pillow block, while the other end mounts in or on the spindle of the rotary table or indexer. MORE

Bouns Depreciation Rule Set for Approval
