“We were in desperate need of a rotary table to meet the production demands,” says Don Borman, co-founder of Borman Enterprises (Cleveland, Ohio). One company-both a supplier of parts for bottling, automotive and other production processes and a prototype design services firm-found itself with an immediate need for fourth-axis capabilities to fulfill production for a contract it had been awarded.

For a shop that’s looking to boost its vertical machining center capabilities, the addition of a rotary table can be a cost effective way to take productivity to new levels.
