[0002] A five-axis rotary table is a type of equipment widely used in high-precision machining centers. It can achieve precise positioning and machining of workpieces on three linear coordinate axes (X, Y, Z) and two rotary coordinate axes (usually A-axis and C-axis). This type of machine tool is of particular importance for machining complex curved surface parts. Traditional five-axis rotary table designs are usually relatively fixed and difficult to adapt to the needs of workpieces of different sizes and shapes, which limits its application efficiency in multi-variety, small-batch production.

[0003] The shortcomings of existing technology:

[0004] 1. Inflexible structure: The structure of traditional five-axis rotary tables is relatively fixed, and the configuration cannot be easily adjusted according to processing requirements, which reduces the versatility and flexibility of the equipment.

[0005] 2. Inconvenient installation and adjustment: In the existing design, the installation and height adjustment of components such as the A-axis turntable and tailstock are not convenient enough, often requiring a lot of time for setup, which affects production efficiency.

[0006] 3. Limitations in connection method: The connection method between the A-axis connecting plate, the tailstock connecting plate and the C-axis turntable may not be stable or fast enough, and cannot meet the fast-paced requirements of modern high-efficiency production.

[0007] 4. Low modularity: The existing five-axis rotary table has a low degree of modularity in its overall design, making it difficult to quickly disassemble and replace parts, which is not conducive to maintenance and upgrades.

[0008] Therefore, existing technologies have shortcomings and need further improvement. Utility Model Content
