Tsl200 rotary table

Types of TSL200 Rotary Tables

Machinery parts like the TSL200 Rotary Table come in a variety of forms to accommodate a wide range of applications in machining centers and the manufacturing industry. Some of these types are as follows:

• Manufacturing Rotary Tables

  The TSL200 manufacturing rotary tables are typically used for high-precision tasks like CNC milling and machining. These tables allow as many axis movements to be made as necessary by rotating the workpiece set on the table, which reduces the need for repositioning. The TSL200 rotary table is a 4-axis CNC rotary table with an automatic indexing system that permits precise and repeated angles of workpiece positioning.

• Vertical Rotary Tables

  An (TSL)200 vertical rotary table like the TSL200 is similar to an above-discussion horizontal type but with a vertical table setup. An upright shaft is used to mount discs and fixtures in an enclosed housing. The gear driver and indexer are top-mounted. This rotary table is preferred for using fixtures with gravity to simplify work setups and increase safety. Like its horizontal counterpart, it can have many different versions, including transmission type, worm gear, or electronic drive.

• Worm Drive Rotary Tables

  A worm drive rotary table like the TSL200 worm drive rotary table has a worm and wheel assembly for its indexer. Due to its low-cost motorization and simplicity, it is commonly used in the cinematic universe and museums for wide and slow use and scale. In high-torque situations, it can apply a large and equitable ratio to ease and disperse the level of torque.

• TS200LSL Rotary Tables

  A late model of the TSL200 rotary table is the TSL200 LSL, which contains many of the above features but offers an electrospindle for self-directing completion and high precision. This spindle makes the table more flexible as it can fulfill several jobs without changing its setup or workpiece position.

Specification and Maintenance of TSL200 Rotary Table

The TSL200 rotary table's specifications may vary based on its model and application, but some key specifications are constant that indicate capability and features.

• Dimension: The dimension of a rotary table indicates how big it is. That includes the width, length, height, and weight. An example is that the diameter and height of the TSL200 rotary table is 200 mm and 125 mm, respectively. Its normal weight is about 20 kg. For larger or smaller models, their dimension and weight may differ.
• Accuracy: This means precision and repeatability. Precision is how correct its angles are. It usually has a 5 arc second character, indicating that the angles are correct to 5 arc seconds. Repeatability means that it returns to the same spot again and again. The rotary table has repeatability within 2 arc seconds.
• Load Capacities: It shows the highest weight it can handle. For example, the TSL200 has a maximum load of 150 kg. It indicates that heavy or larger things can stay on it while used.
• Speed and Torque: They explain how fast and strong the table spins. Some models reach turning speeds of 10 to 20 RPM. They have varying torques, e.g., 1.5 N.m or higher, depending on models. The table can turn at different velocities and power.
• Drilling Holes: The number and sizes of drilling holes is another feature. The TSL200 has 8 holes of M10, making it easy to attach or connect extra tools.

Maintenance

A rotary table is a costly investment, and it's essential to conduct regular maintenance to get the most out of it. Doing this will keep the machine performing excellently and assure its longevity.

Before any maintenance practice, disconnect the machine from power, and do clearing to remove dust and debris. Then, do this routine maintenance:

• Lubrication: Rotate the table to grease the bearings and gearbox with the rotary table's normal lubricants. Do this regularly, according to the manufacturer's advice. If the rotary table has a auto-lube system, refill the lubricant reservoir when it shows low.
• Cleaning: Carefully clean the table surface with soft brushes or suitable vacuum. Remove the chips or debris on the table after each use. Always clean with non-aggressive cleaning products to prevent damage to coatings or surfaces.
• Visual Inspection: Regularly inspect the rotary table machined parts visually to detect any damages. Check all bolted spots to ensure they are tight. Look at the alignment of the table carefully. Ensure there's no unusual wear patterns in the parts or the tool holders.
• Electrical Components: If the machine has electrical parts, check the wiring looms and connections. Ensure the looms are protected well from moisture, dust, or chemicals.
• Calibration: Some hunter rotary tables may require periodic recalibration to maintain their accuracy. This is more important in tables used for precision machining or cutting applications. The table must also be recalibrated if the visual inspection shows severe or unusual damages to the parts.

Application scenarios of TSL200 rotary tables

The TSL200 rotary table is used in the drilling industry for numerous applications. Some of them are as follows:

• Drilling vertical wells: The table commonly appears in oil fields vertically drilling wells. It enables a drill string to rotate as operators work to reach the targeted geological formations.
• Drilling directional & horizontal wells: The rotary table has also found an important application in drilling horizontal as well as directional wells. Such wells provide better access to oil reserves. The rotary speedily rotates the drill pipes to facilitate accurate drilling.
• Multi-stage fracking: A single rotary table can easily handle as well as support multi-stage fracturing operations conducted from a single well location. Such operation helps to improve extraction from the well.
• Re-entering wells: The rotary table can re-enter wells successfully drilled in the past. It provides better control while re-entering previously drilled wells to conduct additional operations such as repairs or production enhancements.
• Extended reach drilling: The rotary table is capable of drilling long-reach wells from an offshore platform or onshore location. Such extended reach drilling reduces the number of well sites needed and improves environmental protection.
• Underwater drilling: If a well site is located in a body of water such as a lake, ocean, or sea, the rotary table can still be used to access the oil reserves. It is done with the help of an under water drilling conductor system. This system enables the rotary table to work under water by supplying the required mud.
• Offshore platforms: The rotary table can also be used with offshore platforms that are fixed in a location or floating. It is done by using specific wellhead and seabed conforming to offshore regulations and standards.
• Land drilling: The rotary table has no specific application limitation when used in land drilling. It can be used in any land drilling application as long as the rotary table matches the specifications of the machine being used.

How to choose TSL200 rotary tables
