HORN has developed the world’s most effective range of grooving technology by providing solutions to problems that others have walked away from.

Even though our standard catalog range is very broad, it is dwarfed by our database of over 85000 special solutions.

trunion rotary table. Lyndex-Nikken Inc.’s
5AX-201 rotary table has an 8" faceplate trunnion work envelope, which can be incorporated in smaller BT 30 vertical machining centers. It provides a workholding space traditionally associated with larger 40-taper machines, but with a compact body design. The worm system ensures wear resistance, rigidity and the table’s.
trunion rotary table. Lyndex-Nikken Inc.’s 5AX-201 rotary table has an 8" faceplate trunnion work envelope, which can be incorporated in smaller BT 30 vertical machining centers. It provides a workholding space traditionally associated with larger 40-taper machines, but with a compact body design. The worm system ensures wear resistance, rigidity and the table’s rapid speeds, according to the company. The system uses a carbide worm and ion-nitrided worm wheel rather than a conventional bronze actuation mechanism.
