Herbao Machinery Exhibits at TMTS 2026 Showcasing High-Precision Rotary Tables and 5-Axis Machining Applications Herbao Machinery participated in TMTS 2026 – Taiwan International Machine Tool Show, held from March 25 to 28, 2026, at the Taichung International Convention & Exhibition Center. At Booth H0211, we presented the versatile applications of our high-precision rotary positioning tables across multiple industries.This year’s exhibition highlighted applications in automotive component machining, electronics manufacturing, consumer product processing, and automation integration, demonstrating the critical role of rotary positioning technology in modern smart manufacturing. Rotary Positioning Tables: The Precise Integration of Force and Angle The core of a rotary positioning table lies in the precise integration of force and angular control, enabling stable and accurate machining performance.As industry demand continues to grow for multi-angle machining, complex surface processing, and high-cycle production, rotary positioning tables have become essential components in CNC machining, automated production lines, and 5-axis applications. Automotive Industry: Micron-Level Machining of Ball Joints In vehicle wheel systems, drivetrain assemblies, and steering mechanisms, the ball joint is a critical component. By combining a lathe with rotary positioning functionality, one-time turning can be achieved, allowing the spherical surface to reach micron-level precision and ensuring smooth motion and long-term durability. Electronics Industry: Multi-Angle Bonding in Smartphone Manufacturing Modern smartphones feature complex internal structures that require precise multi-angle bonding processes. Through the integration of 5-axis synchronization and dispensing equipment, adhesive volume and bonding angles can be accurately controlled, improving assembly precision and yield rates. Consumer Products: Embossing and Roller Engraving for Face Masks The text and embossed patterns on face masks are produced using a machining center equipped with a 4th-axis rotary device for roller engraving. Combined with high-temperature and high-pressure continuous rolling production, this process achieves both precision and high-speed, cost-effective mass production. Versatile Applications Enhancing Overall Production Efficiency At TMTS 2026, we not only showcased individual equipment capabilities but also emphasized the extensive application potential of rotary positioning tables across multiple industries, processes, and equipment integrations.With high-rigidity structural design, stable positioning accuracy, and multi-angle operational capability, rotary positioning tables help manufacturers: Improve machining precision Enhance production efficiency Reduce process errors Increase production line flexibility Support automation integration In an era where smart manufacturing and energy efficiency are increasingly important, efficient and stable rotary control technology has become a key driver in industrial upgrading. Looking Ahead Herbao Machinery will continue to focus on the research and innovation of high-precision rotary positioning table technology, assisting customers in responding to dynamic market demands and building more competitive machining solutions.We sincerely appreciate all visitors who stopped by our booth at TMTS 2026. We look forward to future collaborations and to continuously creating greater efficiency and precision value for the industry.     https://www.herbao.com.tw/en/hot_532548.html TMTS 2026 Taiwan International Machine Tool Show | 5-Axis Machining and Automation Integration Applications 2026-04-17 2027-04-17

The Science Behind Accurate Positioning

Rotational positioning accuracy plays a crucial role in manufacturing processes. It ensures the alignment accuracy between different machining operations, achieving consistency and coherence in multi-process manufacturing. Precise rotational positioning also reduces material waste and production costs while improving production efficiency and quality control.

 

Unidirectional Positioning Accuracy

Unidirectional positioning accuracy is one of the key parameters in evaluating the performance of a rotary positioning platform. It pertains to the platform's positioning accuracy in a single direction. This concept is measured by rotating from the starting position to the end position, selecting multiple data points along the rotational circumference. High unidirectional positioning accuracy impacts the platform's precision in single-direction tasks such as precise machining, engraving, and cutting. Detailed measurement and analysis of unidirectional positioning accuracy ensure that the platform meets the required precision standards, guaranteeing product quality and efficiency in related applications.

 

Unidirectional System Positioning Error

Unidirectional system positioning error refers to the accuracy of the rotary positioning system in a single direction, considering the error produced during the rotation from the starting position to the end position. When designing and manufacturing rotary positioning systems, it is essential to consider these factors, optimize the design and production processes to minimize unidirectional system positioning errors, and ensure the system meets the expected positioning accuracy requirements during operation.

Unidirectional Repeatability Accuracy

Unidirectional repeatability accuracy refers to the ability of the rotary positioning system to consistently return to the same position in a single direction over multiple positioning operations. This metric measures the system's performance in maintaining accuracy in a specific direction, crucial for applications requiring high consistency and precision.

 

 

Bidirectional Positioning Accuracy

Bidirectional positioning accuracy is a key indicator of the rotary positioning platform's positioning precision, measuring the consistency of the platform's positioning in both directions. It evaluates the platform's accuracy in rotating from the starting position to the end position and then returning from the end position back to the starting position. This ensures the platform can accurately and stably rotate and position in both directions.

 

Bidirectional System Positioning Error

Bidirectional system positioning error refers to the accuracy of the rotary positioning system in both directions, assessing the positioning precision from the starting position to the end position and then returning to the starting position. Errors may arise from various factors, including the mechanical structure's precision, the drive system's performance, and the control system's accuracy.

Average Bidirectional System Positioning Error Range

The average bidirectional system positioning error range indicates the mean value of positioning accuracy in both directions, typically expressed as a range encompassing maximum and minimum positioning errors. This range is calculated based on a series of measurements, covering all possible scenarios from the system's maximum to minimum positions.

Bidirectional Repeatability Accuracy

Bidirectional repeatability accuracy measures the rotary positioning system's ability to return to the same position in both directions consistently over multiple operations. This metric is essential for ensuring the system's reliability and precision in applications requiring accurate bidirectional positioning.

 

 

Backlash

Backlash refers to the gap or play within the rotary positioning system due to the mechanical structure or material properties. This gap allows rotary components to move slightly when changing direction without immediately following the new direction. The presence of backlash causes a delay or lag when the rotary positioning system changes direction until the system fully reacts and follows the new direction.

 

Average Backlash

Average backlash, also known as the mean backlash, indicates the average value of all axial backlashes within the rotary positioning system. This metric is calculated by measuring multiple backlash values and averaging them, serving as an indicator of the overall backlash level of the rotary positioning system. It helps evaluate the system's performance and precision.
