OPTIONS / ACCESSORIES
Our best seller, the VH-8 has a 8.25" (210mm) diameter spindle with a 2.0" through hole. With 225 ft. lbs. of brake torque, the VH-8 maintains a rigid design with dual tapered roller bearings supporting the front and back of the spindle. The centerline is 6.75". The worm wheel is helically cut and throated for increased surface contact between the wheel and worm. This provides longevity and helps maintain the accuracy of the rotary table over time. There is an optional 8" 3-Jaw chuck and adapter plate available as well as a 5C nose piece with either manual or air collet closer.
The standard configuration places the motor at the side or we also offer the option to wrap the motor around the back to save space, reduce overall length and eliminate possible machine interferences. The wrap around motor option does restrict the length on through hole capability.
If you like our VH-8 but need a larger through hole, our VH-8XL is your answer offering a 3.27" through bore combined with all the other great features and specifications of the VH-8.

For machines that are not 4th-axis ready: Add 4th-axis kit for each rotary table. Kit includes all parts necessary to make CNC machine 4th-axis ready. Prices vary by machine. Call for quote. Does not include installation.
SINGLE-AXIS PROGRAMMABLE CONTROLLER
​
Don't need true 4th-axis? Just need point-to-point indexing? A cost-efficient solution for any CNC machine that is not 4th-axis-ready. This single-axis, programmable control box will add indexing or semi-4th-axis capability to any machine. It can be easily interfaced using a spare M-code from your CNC machine. Indexing position moves to practically any angle are programmed directly through the front panel of the control box and are triggered by an M-code, or utilize the control box's DNC function to run a complete machine program file from a USB key.
