Rotary tables expand the scope of applications, simplify the measurement procedure, and reduce measurement time via the scanning mode.
This additional axis allows the use of simple stylus combinations and extends the available measurement range. The programming of the parts to be measured is simplified since the paths of the CMM are shorter. Rotary tables are used for the measurement of various parts but their main use is to considerably simplify the measurement of parts of revolution presenting periodically repeating geometries, such as gears, rotors, turbines, etc.
All angles are immediately available and allow easy access to the measurement of elements inaccessible by an adjustable head or a fixed measuring head. The flexibility doesn't stop there. Mitutoyo measuring machines also allow an indexed swivel head to be coupled to Mitutoyo MRT240 / MRT320 rotary tables.
