Rotary Indexing Plates are precision components of milling machines that facilitate the precise angular positioning of workpieces and cutting tools. They are used in both metal machining and woodworking, and while they share a fundamental purpose, there are notable differences in their design, capabilities, and applications due to the distinct characteristics of the materials and processes involved.
The indexing plate is mainly used for milling machines, but also commonly used for drilling machines and surface grinders. It can be used for index drilling or milling, circumferential cutting, circumferential surface machining, straight line machining of planes and part of line segments.
In recent years, the domestic and foreign medical and aerospace industries have developed vigorously, and the demands for related precision components have increased. Domestic and foreign manufacturers have invested in five-axis machining to improve manufacturing precision and provide high-stability and high-quality processed parts.
