Air Float Capstan Servo (AFCS) Rotary Tables
The A. G. Davis Air Float Rotary Table consists of hardened steel face plate which is floated on air in the thrust plane and centered by preload ball bearings radially during rotation. After an index move is completed the Air float is shut off allowing the faceplate to rest on the base of the rotary table producing excellent wobble characteristics. This action also friction locks the Air Float Rotary Table. A high grade meehanite base casting is used to support the faceplate. Standard face plate mounting pattern is by threaded hole patterns with other configurations available. The Air Float Type Precision Rotary Table can only be used with the face plate in the horizontal plane.
