Rotary Table Offers Precise Machining of Bladed Turbine Parts
January 1, 2026
GROB Systems, Inc., a provider of manufacturing systems and machine tools, has introduced its new VARIO Rotary Table providing a unique, adaptable solution for consistent, accurate machining of bladed turbine parts and thin walled and slender parts.
The VARIO Rotary Table features a customizable modular design ranging from a basic version to configurations with two highly dynamic, direct drive B-axes. The independently operating B-axes have specialized, innovative drive configurations to reduce stress during roughing and to prevent component distortion during finishing, producing enhanced surface finishes.
"Available on the GROB 5-Axis G350 and G550 Universal Machining Centers, which offer a highly stable horizontal design with a unique retractable spindle, integrating the VARIO Rotary Table ensures excellent surface quality on challenging parts of different materials and geometries, and large parts," said a company spokesperson.
Providing high flexibility, the new GROB VARIO Rotary Table has a movable counter-holder axis designed for a range of part sizes up to 27.6" (700 mm) blank length.
"We are pleased to offer manufacturers a new, reliable rotary table solution for optimizing precision and surface finish on bladed turbine parts and other demanding thin walled parts," said Derek Schroeder, Universal Machines Sales & Proposals Manager, GROB Systems, Inc. "The new VARIO Rotary Table sets new standards for the manufacture of turbine blades of all kinds."
