The table is driven by a worm gear with a 72:1 ratio making each turn of the handwheel equal to 5°. Fifty laser engraved handwheel marks indicate positions 1/10 of a degree apart. A 90° fixture is available to position the table in a vertical position. Our P/N 3750 Tilting Angle Table is also available for positioning at any angle from 0° to 90°.

Inputs can be entered by either degrees (to 3 decimal points) or by divisions of a circle (up to 999 divisions). Also programmable are the direction of rotation, the speed of rotation and backlash compensation. In the PROGRAM mode, two different programs of up to 40 blocks each can be entered that control rotation speed, direction and degrees or divisions plus the option to continue or pause at the end of each block.
