Finished parts accumulator

Auto sales finally got back above pre-recession levels in 2014 with August sales reaching a seven-year high. After six long years, sales levels have matched 2007’s pace. More importantly, several research groups expect 2015 continue to grow. Today’s Motor Vehicles allows marketers direct access to this healthy industry with continued growth.

The Royal Rota-Rack is a lean, cost-effective device that safely collects finished parts as they come off of a CNC lathe, enabling machine tools to run unattended for extended periods of time.

Features include:

  • A unique rotary spiral that safely directs parts to the center of the turntable
  • A low-friction ultra-high molecular weight (UHMW) material covers all contact surfaces for superior part protection
  • The Royal Rota-Rack is especially good at protecting straight edges of milled parts – often a difficult task with other collection methods 
  • Can be used to keep parts in order for quality control purposes
  • No machine interface needed – unit plugs into a 110V outlet and the operator simply sets the index functions in seconds via the touch-screen PLC
  • The degree of rotation is easily adjusted, enabling the Rota-Rack to handle short and long parts
  • Large capacity – 36″ diameter turntable provides over 850 square inches of surface area
  • Heavy-gauge steel construction enables the Rota-Rack to handle up to 700 lb of parts
  • Universal design adapts to virtually all CNC lathes:
    • Left/Right positioning
    • Optional conveyor with coolant tray
    • Height-adjustable from 10.5” to 53″
