Koma Precision distributes Tsudakoma’s line of rotary tables. The pictured table is part of the TWM line, which best pairs with high-production single- or dual-spindle vertical machining centers that require five-axis machining.
Live demonstrations with customer parts headline the show at Koma Precision’s bright green booth. This IMTS, the company is showcasing rotary tables in common fixturing setups for automotive parts. In addition to stock Tsudakoma rotary tables, Koma Precision is also emphasizing its specialty rotary tables, which are born from collaboration between Tsudakoma, Koma Precision and the end user.
Koma Precision is also showcasing NEO right angle heads, which the company says add versatile high-torque and coolant-through options to its line of machine tool accessories. Video displays highlight overhead hydraulic products for high-production horizontal and vertical machining centers, as well as the company’s machine tool presetters with auto-measuring functions.
“Automation is the trend of the industry,” says company president David Meo, and all the products Koma Precision is demonstrating at the show are primarily optimized for robotic tending rather than manual tending.
