Summary:The high performance rotary tables are immense necessary part for the multi-axis machines. These rotary tables are yet in the developing stage. In this report, a rotary table driven by roller drive is introduced and the characteristics of that are discussed by comparing them with the characteristics of rotary table driven by worm gear mechanism. As the characteristics, the positioning accuracy and repeatability, frequency response, rotational fluctuations and influence of unbalance mass on motion are measured. According to the measured results, it can be said that the rotary table driven by roller drive shows high performances and therefore it can be said that this type of rotary tables are well suited for machine tool applications.
