Product catalog summary
Adjusting Velmex Rotary Table Mesh
Introduction: This document provides instructions for adjusting the mesh of a Velmex Rotary Table to ensure optimal performance and minimize backlash.
Backlash Check: Begin by checking the backlash in the table by manually moving the top of the table back and forth. If excessive backlash is detected, adjustments are necessary.
Adjustment Procedure:
  • Loosen the clamp bolts by half a turn.
  • To tighten the mesh, turn the adjustment set screw clockwise by 1/8 turn.
  • To loosen, turn the set screw counter-clockwise by 1/8 turn and slightly pull the motor block away from the gear.
  • Re-tighten the clamp bolts.
  • Rotate the table one full revolution to check for backlash and ensure smooth operation.
Additional Considerations:
  • If the motor stalls or the table is noisy, the mesh adjustment may need to be loosened. Verify the step motor controller configuration first.
  • Low geared tables (e.g., 18:1) have more backlash compared to higher geared tables (e.g., 72:1).
Important Notes:
  • Factory adjustments are already made for new units; do not attempt to readjust.
  • When installing a motor, ensure it has two flats at 90° angles for easier future removal.
