WHATS IS MEANT BY 1 DEGREE INDEXING ON A HORIZONTAL CNC MACHINING CENTRE?

[Al_The_Man]

Could refer to a rotary axis or the spindle?

Most probably the rotary table with 360 index positions

[a1diesinker]

it means you have to move B first then machine works for most people

one thats not an indexer you can stay in the cut while rotating B axis
like a mill turn center.
we made a post that tades X for B and turns inches into degrees

[txcncman]

Indexing almost always means the rotation stops at a specified point and does so at rapid and then cutting is performed. Rotary axis has full movement at any angle and programmed feed rate and can do so during cutting.

[underthetire]

Usually means 1 deg positioning on the B (table rotary), not continuous programmable contouring. Unclamp/rotate to position/clamp/cut part, repeat.

iM LOOKING FOR A NEW CNC HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTRE. BUT NOT SURE WHAT THE 1 DEG INDEXING MEANS ON THE SPEC SHEETS. IT REFERS TO THE B AXIS PALLETT. BUT DOES THIS MEAN THAT IT WILL ONLY MOVE 1 DEGREE. IE IF I WANT TO DRILL A ANGLED HOLE AT 17.5 DEG WOULD THIS BE POSSIBLE.

[The Swede]

No, you can´t drill at 17,5 deg. angle. 17 and 18 OK but not 17,5 deg
