DATA SHEET COLLECTION FIBROTOR® VR.NC.

Product catalog summary

Overview

This document compiles technical data for the FIBROTOR® VR.NC. series of precision rotary indexing tables by the Läpple Group. It covers detailed specifications, dimensional data, load capacities, accuracy metrics, and indexing performance for multiple VR.NC. models.

Product Variants and Encoding

The VR.NC. series includes four main models distinguished by table diameter: VR.NC.16 (520 mm), VR.NC.17 (680 mm), VR.NC.18 (820 mm), and VR.NC.20 (1,020 mm). Each model is identified by a technical code indicating table size, drive motor type (none, AC servomotor, or special), drive arrangement, NC-programmable division type, and optional modules.

Drive Arrangements

Drive configurations are defined by axis orientation:

  • Horizontal table with vertical rotation axis (codes 211, 221)
  • Vertical table with horizontal rotation axis (codes 222, 231, 232)

The standard setup is horizontal with vertical axis; trunnion drives have vertical tables with horizontal axes. Upside-down mounting is available upon request.

Technical Specifications

  • Indexing Accuracy: ±20" to ±25" arc seconds depending on model.
  • Repeatability: ±5" to ±8" arc seconds.
  • Axial Runout: Approximately 0.04–0.05 mm, varying with table diameter.
  • Concentricity: 0.05–0.08 mm based on center hole size.
  • Plane Parallelism: 0.10 mm.
  • Center Hole Diameter: Ranges from 125 mm to 610 mm by model.
  • Weight: From about 390 kg (VR.NC.16) to 820 kg (VR.NC.20) without motor.

Load Capacities

Load limits are specified separately for dynamic (rotating) and static (stationary) conditions, including axial and radial forces, tilting moments, and drive torques:

  • Add-on diameters permissible from 3,400 mm to 8,800 mm.
  • Axial dynamic loads up to 175,000 N; static up to 316,000 N.
  • Radial dynamic loads up to 90,000 N; static up to 112,000 N.
  • Tilting moments dynamic up to 45,000 Nm; static up to 75,000 Nm.
  • Drive torque dynamic up to 16,750 Nm; static tangential moment up to 28,000 Nm.

Note: Combined load scenarios require consultation with FIBRO for assessment.

Indexing Performance and Times

Indexing times are detailed for rotation angles from 5° to 360°, across a range of moments of inertia (500 to 48,000 kg·m² depending on model). Key parameters include:

  • Total gear ratios vary by model and inertia.
  • Rotational speeds range from ~4.7 to 23.8 revolutions per minute.
  • Angular velocities between approximately 0.49 and 2.49 rad/s (28.2°/s to 142.8°/s).
  • Acceleration times from about 0.6 to 3 seconds.
  • Angular accelerations between 0.33 and 4.15 rad/s².
  • Acceleration angles and reaction time allowances are specified to optimize performance.

Graphs and tables illustrate that lower inertia and smaller rotation angles yield faster indexing times.

Additional Information

  • Rotation direction supports both clockwise and counterclockwise operation.
  • Standard drive motors are Siemens AC servomotors (model 1FK7105), with options for no motor or special versions.
  • CAD files and further technical documentation are accessible via the manufacturer’s website.

Critical Notes and Recommendations

  • Careful consideration of load data is essential, especially for combined loads which must be reviewed by FIBRO.
  • Working position flexibility includes standard horizontal or trunnion drive configurations; upside-down mounting is available on request.
  • High precision parameters such as indexing accuracy and repeatability are crucial for applications demanding exact positioning.
  • Model selection should be based on table size, load capacity, and required indexing speed.

This data sheet collection serves as a comprehensive technical reference for engineers and purchasers evaluating FIBROTOR® VR.NC. rotary indexing tables for precision automation and machining tasks.
