5. Operation Ready
After unpacking, the tilting rotary table is mounted to the machine tool. Observe the following
procedure before performing the operation (trial run).
5-1. Table transfer and mounting to machine tool

1) When transporting the unit, hook ropes to the eyebolts attached and transport the unit
carefully, not giving a shock. The ropes used should be wire ropes having enough
strength to lift up the unit.
2) Clean the table face on the machine tool and the mounting base surface of NC table
after checking that burr or flaw is not found. If the burr or flaw is found, repair them with
the oil grinding stone.
3) The motor case may be removed depending on the maintenance work. Accordingly,
whenever possible, install the NC rotary table in a position where the motor case can be
removed. In case of vertical installation, the guide blocks will fit into the slotted groove
on the machine. If there is any play between the guide block and the T-slot, place the
unit against one side of the T-slot to eliminate the gap.
4) Securely fix the NC rotary table to the machine tool with the attached clamper.
Do not enter a part of your body under the NC rotary table

DANGER during transportation.
Unexpected accidents such as a disengagement of lifting
devices may cause the NC rotary table to drop on your body.
When mounting the NC rotary table to the machine tool,

WARNING check the mounting space carefully. Especially, take care so
that the NC rotary table, cables and air/hydraulic hoses will
not interfere with the splash guard or ATC device and
spindle head of machine tool because the table or spindle
head moves.
Do not damage the cables by placing a heavy thing or

WARNING pinching them. If the cables are damaged, there is a danger
of electric shock.
Tighten the bolts of clamper at the specified torque by using

WARNING the mounting seat effectively.
12
The transport and lifting devices must be operated only by
CAUTION the qualified persons for respective devices.
Operating the transport devices by an unqualified person
causes the NC rotary table or machine to be damaged due
to an operation error, resulting in accidents.
When transporting a pallet on which NC rotary table is

CAUTION mounted, take measures against over-turning or drop.
Transporting the pallet with NC rotary table mounted
unstably may cause the NC rotary table to overturn and then
to drop from the pallet.
Disconnect electric cables and working fluid piping when

CAUTION relocating the NC rotary table.
Relocating the NC rotary table with electric cables and
working fluid piping connected and hung down causes the
NC rotary table to be unstable or the worker to be tripped,
resulting in unexpected accidents.
Electric cables or working fluid piping may be damaged
during relocation, and if the NC rotary table is installed on
the machine again, unexpected accidents may occur.
If electric cables and working fluid piping cannot be
disconnected, secure them to the NC rotary table.
5-2. Oiling
Lubrication oil has been already filled in NC rotary table before shipping. Check that the
lubrication oil is filled to the center position of the oil gauge before operating the machine.
Replace lubrication oil every 6-month. At this time,

CAUTION completely drain the oil. When filling the oil tank with
lubrication/hydraulic oil, remove the chip and foreign matter
on the oil filler neck. If the chip and foreign matter are
entered, the important parts such as the worm gear,
bearings, etc., are seized and accuracy is reduced. In the
air/hydraulic specification, a clamp alarm occurs.
13
In the worm part, fill the tank with lubricating oil to center
CAUTION position of oil gauge. Fill the tank of air hydraulic part with
the lubrication oil to the highest level of oil gauge. The
shortage of oil leads to the insufficient performance of table.
Use the lubricating oil recommended in the table on the item

16
6. Inspection
Daily inspection
1） Check the fixing condition of NC rotary table (including jig if mounted).
2） Confirm that the chips accumulating in a rotary part of NC rotary table are removed.
3） Check the electric connection cables and the air hoses are not damaged, and also,
check the pneumatic and hydraulic pressure.
4） Check the oil volume of air hydraulic system. (Check that the oil level of hydraulic oil is in
the upper part of oil gauge.)
5） Check the zero return motion (machine), indexing motion and position.
6） Check unusual vibration and noise do not occur. (Body, motor)
7） Check unusual heating. (Body, gear box, motor)
Periodical inspection (Inspect the following items every 6-month.)

1） Check the dirt degree of lubrication oil.
2） Check the dirt degree of hydraulic oil.
3） Check connectors are well mounted and cables are not damaged.
4） Check wiring cables in the motor case do not corrode or are disconnected.
7. Use of NC Rotary Table

This unit is installed on the machining centers, and on its table surface the chuck or fixture is
attached to clamp the workpiece. It indexes the angle of machining position by the control of
machining center or Kitagawa’s own controller. During the machining, the working fluid is
supplied to retain the workpiece.
17
8. Table Clamp
8-1. Precautions for table clamp
Be sure to rotate the table with the table unclamped and use
CAUTION the table with it clamped when machining after positioning. If
the table is operated by mistake, take care since the worm
wheel may be damaged. Check the signals of pressure
switch to check Clamp/Unclamp operations.
Never operate the table at clamping torque or more in

CAUTION specification column because the clamping part will be worn
and the worm wheel also will be damaged.
Clamped status is not canceled completely when residual

CAUTION pressure remains while unclamping. Thus, the table
operation may continue under half clamped condition. Since
the above mentioned case leads to the seizing of worm gear
and clamped part, take extreme care of back pressure.
In case of especially hydraulic clamp, design the circuit so
that back pressure is less than 0.2 MPa while unclamping.
If a silencer is clogged with cutting fluid etc., there are

CAUTION possibilities that compressed air may not be exhaust and it
leads unclamp failure alarms. To avoid clogging, maintain
silencer periodically.
8-2. Supply of pneumatic and hydraulic pressure for clamp

The clamper to clamp the table is incorporated in the NC rotary table and two air and
hydraulic clamp specifications are provided for operation. However, in the air pressure
clamp specifications, the air hydraulic booster is incorporated in the table. Since the NC
rotary table is delivered in accordance with the customer’s specifications, supply a pressure
source according the specifications.
8-2-1. Pneumatic clamp specifications

1) Supply clean air (moisture, oil content, powder dust eliminated) passing through the air
combination (Air filter, mist separator, regulator) + drain catcher.
18
2) Connect the pipe exclusive for air pressure durable to max. operating pressure over 0.6
MPa to the air pressure supply port. The air pressure supply port is provided on the
motor case. See the external view attached for details. (Connection port is Rc1/4).
3) Use this unit in the air pressure range of 0.5 to 0.6 MPa.
4) If the air remains in the table clamp device, the specified clamp torque cannot be
attained. Thus, perform the air bleeding work as follows:
1. See the external view attached to check the location of air bleeding plug.
2. Cover the air bleeding plug with a waste cloth and insert a hexagonal wrench key,
and with the wrench held by hand, loosen slowly the plug by about 3 turns.
3. With the wrench held by hand, repeat the clamp and unclamp operations to bleed
residual air.
※ Loosening the air bleeding plug excessively could cause the plug or steel ball to fly out.
5) After the air bleeding work finished, tighten the air bleeding plug, and repeat the clamp
and unclamp operations to check that hydraulic oil does not leak.

8-2-2. Hydraulic clamp specifications

1) Connect the pipe exclusive for hydraulic pressure durable to max. Operating pressure
over 3.7 MPa to the hydraulic pressure supply port. (Connection port is Rc3/8)
2) Use this unit in the hydraulic pressure range of 3.5 to 3.7 MPa.
3) If the air remains in the table clamp device, the specified clamp torque cannot be
attained. Thus, perform the air bleeding work as follows:
1. See the external view attached to check the location of air bleeding plug.
2. Cover the air bleeding plug with a waste cloth and insert a hexagonal wrench key,
and with the wrench held by hand, loosen slowly the plug by about 3 turns.
3. With the wrench held by hand, repeat the clamp and unclamp operations to bleed
residual air.
※ Loosening the air bleeding plug excessively could cause the plug or steel ball to fly out.
4) After the air bleeding work finished, tighten the air bleeding plug, and repeat the clamp
and unclamp operations to check that hydraulic oil does not leak.
Port Rc 1/4 is provided. In the hydraulic clamp spec., use

CAUTION connection port of Rc3/8 for different diameter.
Using the hose equivalent to 3/8 is recommended.
8-2-3. Rotary joint specifications (Only TT182)

Do not change the mounting direction of the piping block.
When the piping block is removed, hydraulic oil mixes with lubrication oil.
Moreover, when the hydraulic oil is reduced, a brake alarm occurs.
20
Piping block
Fig.2
8-3. Air Relief

Be sure to perform air relief when lubrication oil is supplied after disassembling the table or
the brake alarm occurs. If air is not sufficiently exhausted, the alarm occurs because of
clamp failure.
8-3-1. Pneumatic clamp system (See Fig.3-1: TT182)

1) Tilt the rotating axis 90°from the horizontal state of table (0°) to make the table
vertically.
2) Move the piston of the cylinder for the tilting axis or rotating axis (hereinafter referred to
as piston) to the returned edge. When the air is supplied with the solenoid valve ON at
excitation unclamp specification and with the solenoid valve OFF at excitation clamp
specification, the piston moves the returned edge.
3) Remove the hexagon socket head taper screw plug ② and the tank cover on air
hydraulic part (hereinafter referred to as cover) ① and fill the oil tank fully with the
specified hydraulic oil.
4) Check that the hole of hexagon socket head taper screw plug ② is full with the
lubrication oil and tighten the hexagon socket head taper screw plug ②.
Air relief on tilting axis side

1） Repeat the clamp-unclamp operation, and in the clamp mode, use a hexagon bar
spanner to loosen the air relief plug ③ a little bit to remove the air while lightly pushing

the plug, and then retighten it while still clamped.
2） Repeat the above operation until there are no bubbles (air) in the hydraulic oil leaking
from the air relief plug ③.
Air relief on rotating axis side

1） Perform the air relief with the air relief plug ④ by the above steps 1) and 2).
2） After that, perform the air relief with the air relief plug ⑤ by the same steps.
3） When the air relief is finished, fill the hydraulic oil into the air hydraulic oil tank to
maximum oil level in the oil gauge on the tilting axis base side face.
4） When the work is finished completely, check the O-ring on cover ① mounting part is
not run off from the groove before mounting the cover ①.
5） Start the NC rotary table, and confirm that the table clamp alarm does not light up on
either the tilting axis side or the rotating axis side. If the alarm lights up, it means the air
has not been completely removed, and therefore the required pressure has not been
reached. Accordingly, you need to repeat the procedures to remove the air from the side
that triggered the alarm.
CAUTION
1） When the air relief plug is too loosened, there is a possibility that the air relief plug flies
out and hydraulic oil spills out. Slightly push the air relief plug with the hexagon bar
spanner and cover it with rags so as not to fly out the plug and spill out the hydraulic oil.
2） Once some air has been removed, leave it in clamp/unclamp for five seconds or longer
and then remove the air again until there is none left.
3） When you loosen the air relief plug, leave it in clamp mode until the plug is tightened
again. If you switch it to unclamp mode while the plug is still loose, there is danger of air
being sucked in.
4） During air relief, since oil becomes short, bleed the air, filling the oil tank with oil.
5） After finishing the air relief, cleanly wipe oil spilled around the unit with a waste cloth.
6） Fill the oil tank with the hydraulic oil to a high level of oil gauge.

1) Air may mix in oil during operation because the piping joint, each plug, etc., are
loosened. At this time, bleed the air according to the procedures of the above.
2) The hydraulic oil is deteriorated when it is used for a long period of time. Replace the oil
every year.
3) With the NC rotary table operated after ready for start-up, if a brake alarm occurs, check
the air bleeding for confirmation.
8-4. Air purge

Dew drops may occur in the motor case by ambient
environment. In this case, each component in addition to
WARNING
electric apparatus will fail or rust will occur. Therefore, the air
is purged and exhausted from the air purge exhaust port.
(Air Hydraulic pressure system)

The air purge is performed by air branched in the NC rotary table from air used for clamp.
Thus, air is used in the motor case from joint with hole of 0.4mm.
Be sure to supply clean air passing through the filter (air filter, mist separator, regulator and
27
drain catcher).
If moisture, oil content, etc., are mixed in the air, its air is entered in the motor case, thus
damaging the equipment. The air in the motor case is exhausted from the air purge exhaust
port.
If the air purge exhaust port is closed, condensed drops are not exhausted and pressure is
kept in the motor cover as is, thus causing in motor case damaging and motor malfunction.
Therefore, never close the air purge exhaust port. When exhausting air, although any
exhaust sound occurs, there is no problem.
(Hydraulic pressure system)

Since an exclusive supply port for air purge is provided, be sure to supply clean air as well
as the type of air pressure specifications (Pneumatic: 0.5MPa).
When performing the air purge, block M5 screw hole of air purge exhaust port as shown in
the outside view with the cross recessed round head screw M5 and the seal washer 5. (If not
blocked, coolant may enter in the motor case.)

9. Mounting of Workpiece
Mount the workpiece securely to increase accuracy.
If the workpiece is not mounted securely, accuracy becomes

WARNING not only worse but also the machine and tools are damaged.
Therefore, take extreme care because it also causes an
accident resulting in injury or death in the worst case.
When the workpiece that flatness and straightness are not

CAUTION obtained is tightened as is, the workpiece or the rotary table
may be distorted, thus resulting in low accuracy or
unevenness rotation. In such case, insert the shim(s)
between the workpiece and the rotary table.
When the workpiece is tightened, fix the workpiece equally

CAUTION and securely on the rotary table as much as possible.

10. Maintenance Work
10-1. Corrective Action in Case of Failure, and Disassembly
See the “Troubleshooting” if a failure occurred in the unit due to any reason. Also, for the
disassembly procedure when performing the maintenance work, refer to the parts list and
the procedure given in the corresponding maintenance item.
10-2. Before Performing Maintenance Work

When performing the maintenance work, shut off the power (primary power supply) of the
machining center or Kitagawa’s own controller to set the pressure adjusting valve of air
combination that supplies the air to the NC rotary table to 0 MPa or shut off the power of the
air compressor to exhaust the compressed air, so as to stop the supply of the working fluid.
Perform the maintenance work with the workpiece removed.
CAUTION Performing the work with the workpiece left on the table may
cause the workpiece to be dropped out, resulting in injuries.
Appropriate value in each maintenance item has been set

NOTICE for smooth function of each device, and thus you should
observe it. Performing the maintenance work without
observing the appropriate value may cause NC rotary table
to fail or each device to be damaged.
Clamp the table clamp device of NC rotary table when

NOTICE removing the workpiece.

11. Backlash Adjustment of Worm Gears
The worm shaft and worm wheel are made of the special materials and they are accurately
machined.
The dual lead worm system is adopted for eliminating the backlash of worm gear. It changes
the lead of right and left teeth of worm shaft a little and adjusts the backlash for the worm
wheels by shifting this worm shaft in the axis direction.
This dual lead worm system can adjust the backlash finely without changing an ideal
engagement state and it is theoretical and most secure backlash adjustment method.
Although the backlash of worm gear has already been adjusted before shipping, it is
necessary to adjust the backlash when the machine is operated for a long period of time.
The proper values for backlash are shown in the following list. These are values when the
machine is cooled. Thus, they are values after interrupting for a long period of time.
Consequently, when the machine is operated for a long period of time, the backlash
becomes small in comparison with the following values.
If backlash is too small, the worm gear will cause seizing.

NOTICE

When adjusting the backlash, measure the current backlash by the following method. After
that, adjust it.
11-1. Backlash measuring method of worm gear of rotating axis

1） Set the dial gauge the periphery of T-slot on the table top face.
2） Read the value of dial gauge at the position where the table stops after rotating the table
slowly in one way with the flat steel or round bar inserted in T-slot on the top face of table
(with worm wheel gear tooth attached). At this time, for the torque added to the table,
refer to the list created later. Next, rotate the table under the same condition in the
reverse direction to read the value of dial gauge. This difference of measured values is
the backlash.
3） Perform the above measurement at 8 positions by rotating the table and compare them
32
with the above adequate values. (See Fig.6)

2） Read the value of dial gauge at the position where the table stops after rotating the tilting
body slowly in one way with the flat steel or round bar inserted in eye bolts screwed in
tap holes on the table back face (with worm wheel gear tooth attached). At this time, for
the torque added to the tilting body, refer to the list created later. Next, rotate the tilting
body under the same condition in the reverse direction to read the value of dial gauge.
This difference of measured values is the backlash. (See Fig.7)

2） Remove the cover ①.
3） Remove hexagon socket head set screws ③ which fix lock nut ② and bearing case
⑤ before loosening hexagon socket head screw ④.
4） The lock nut ② is engaged with the bearing case ⑤ by M42, P1.5 screw. Since eight
5mm drill holes are provided on the periphery of the lock nut ② and the bearing case
⑤, fix the bearing case ⑤ with a proper round bar before loosening the lock nut ②.
5） When rotating and advancing the bearing case ⑤ clockwise by using the above 5mm
drill hole, the backlash becomes small.
6） After adjusting the backlash, fix the bearing case ⑤ and tighten the lock nut ②
securely. Then, measure the backlash again and check that it is proper.
7） After checking that the backlash is proper, mount the cover ① again to the original
position with hexagon socket head set screws ③ and ④.
Each interval between the hole and the hole of periphery of

12. Backlash Adjustment of Spur Gears
12-1. Backlash adjusting method of rotating axis drive spur gears
(See Fig.10)
The backlash between Z1 – Z2 spur gears is adjusted by changing a center distance after
adjusting the motor position with hexagon bolt ① for the stopper attached to the motor side.
1) Adjust the backlash where the table surface is horizontal.
2) Drain lubrication oil from the rotating axis lubrication oil drain port (See outside view).
3) Slightly loosen four mounting bolts ③ which fix the motor.
4) Rotate hexagon bolt for stopper ② clockwise and hexagon bolt for stopper ①
counterclockwise slowly and move the motor so that the backlash becomes zero (0)
approximately.
5) Rotate the hexagon bolt for stopper ② to distance moving the motor so that gears will
be engaged at proper backlash (0.02～0.04mm).
Moreover, since the thread pitch for hexagon bolts for stopper ① and ② is 1.0, when
rotating hexagon bolts for stopper ① and ② 10°(1/36 rotation), the backlash varies
0.02mm.
6) Pushing up the motor by rotating the hexagon bolt for stopper ①, eliminate gap
between the motor and the hexagon bolt for stopper ②. (At this time, check the motor
movement with the dial gauge attached to the motor side.)
7) With the motor attached to hexagon bolts for stopper ① and ②, tighten four mounting
bolts ③ that loosened slightly.
8) After adjusting, run the motor from slow speed to high speed to check that abnormal
noise does not occur.

(See Fig.11-2: TW182)
The adequate backlash of the spur gear is 0.02～0.04mm. If the backlash amount differs from
the adequate backlash materially, it is necessary to adjust the backlash.
A) Spur gear Z1 and spur gear Z2

The backlash between spur gear Z1 ① and spur gear Z2 ② is adjusted by changing distance
between shafts, rotating the eccentric shaft ⑥.
1) Drain lubrication oil from the drain port for the gear box. (See the outline drawing.)
2) Remove cover ④.
3) Fix spur gear Z2 ② and touch the dial gauge to a tooth face of spur gear Z1 ① to
measure the backlash amount.
4) Loosen hexagon socket head cap screw ⑦ and rotate eccentric shaft ⑥ to adjust the
center distance between spur gear Z1 ① and spur gear Z2 ②, checking the backlash
amount with the dial gauge.
5) The backlash amount has been set to the adequate value before shipping, and the
matchmark of a gear box and the matchmark of the eccentric shaft have also been
matched.
39
B) Spur gear Z2 and spur gear Z3
The backlash between spur gear Z2 ② and spur gear Z3 ③ is adjusted by changing distance
between shafts after adjusting a motor position with hexagon bolts ⑩ for the stopper touched
to servo motor ⑫ side.
1) Fix spur gear Z2 ② and touch the dial gauge to a tooth face of spur gear Z3 ③ to
measure the backlash amount.
2) Remove motor case ⑨.
3) Loosen all four hexagon bolts ⑩ for the stopper slightly and run the motor slowly until the
backlash amount becomes zero (0) approximately in order to adjust the motor position.
4) Since the screw pitch of hexagon bolt ⑩ for the stopper is 1.0, when rotating 10” (1/36
rotation), the backlash varies 0.02mm.
5) With hexagon bolts ⑩ for the stopper touched certainly to the motor, tighten four hexagon
socket head cap screws ⑪ securely and check the backlash amount again with the dial
gauge.
6) After adjusting, run the motor from slow speed to high speed to check that noise does not
occur.

20. Storage
When storing NC rotary table after removing it from the
NOTICE machine tool, place it on the stable wooden base for
maintaining accuracy after removing chips or coolant, etc.
Coat the table with rust prevention oil and case or lap it with
the wooden cover or vinyl cover, etc. When using the
wooden base and box, avoid the wooden base and the
green wood. Since the green wood is not chemically neutral,
use the wood moistened with paraffin.
21. Disposal of NC Rotary Table

Dispose of this unit in accordance with the laws and regulations of your country.
You may suffer punishment if you disposed of this unit without following the laws and
regulations.
65
22. Reference Data
22-1. Conversion of arc length and angle
“What is the linear length at the table circumference with 20

NOTICE seconds cumulative indexing accuracy ?”
“ What is the angle with a cumulative pitch error of
0.01mm ?”
To answer these questions, use the following formula
representing the relationship between the angle and linear
length at the table circumference.
D： Diameter of Workpiece (mm)

α： Angle (seconds)
L： Linear length at the table circumference (mm)
L α
= 　･･･････････････････････････････････････　　
(1)
π × D 360° × 60'×60"
360 × 60 × 60 × L 4.125 × L × 10 5
α= = 　･･･････････････････････････　　
(2)
π ×D D
α ×π × D
L= = 2.424 × 10 −6 × α × D　･･････････････････････････　　
(3)
360 × 60 × 60
(Examples)
Assuming the diameter of the workpiece is 100mm, and by using formula (2), the cumulative
indexing accuracy of 20 seconds as linear length at table circumference will be：
L = 2.424 × 20 × 100 × 10 −6 = 0.004848mm
Therefore, the length is approximately 0.0048mm.
And converting the cumulative pitch error of 0.01mm to an angle, use formula (3)：
4.125 × 0.01 × 10 5
α= = 41.25"
100
Therefore, the angle is approximately 41 seconds.
Thus, by using the formula (2) and (3), the indexing precision and pitch error can be
converted in terms of linear length and angle.
66
22-2. Coordinate calculation of table center for tilting angle
When the coordinate of table center as the tilting axis is 0°(horizontal) is regarded as X = 0,
Z = 0. the calculation formula finding the coordinate of table center when tilting axis is tilted
θ°is shown as follows:
Table center
X＝Fcosθ－Esinθ－F
Z＝Ecosθ＋Fsinθ－E
<Example>
In case of E=70, F = 0.
X＝－70sinθ
Z＝70cosθ－70
Tilting center
22-3. Workpiece interference area

Since the following shows standard specifications, take care in case of special specifications.
Interference with the clamp device is not considered.
Tilting range may be reduced due to fit the Jig or Chuck onto Face plate.
(Refer to the back of the Instruction Manual drawing and the outside view.)
Set a soft limit by the parameter to prevent interference at the customer.
