If You Barfeed, You Need a Royal Rota-Rack® to Seriously Increase Your Profits.

The Royal Rota-Rack consists of a heavy-duty welded steel turntable, solid-state PLC control, and optional integrated conveyor. All contact surfaces are covered with a high-lubricity UHMW plastic for optimum workpiece protection. A one-meter diameter turntable provides over 850 square inches of usable surface area and has a payload capacity of 700 pounds.

The universal design of the Royal Rota-Rack enables it to be used with any CNC lathe that is equipped with a parts catcher. The unit can be mounted either to the left or right side of the machine tool, and it is height-adjustable from 11-50 inches. Programming takes approximately 20-seconds with the intuitive touch-screen PLC control, and no machine tool interface is required. The Rota-Rack operates on standard 110v electrical power.

By providing a method for safely collecting large volumes of finished parts, the Royal Rota-Rack Parts Accumulator helps manufacturers achieve significant improvements in both part quality and profitability.

Benefits of the Royal Rota-Rack include:

• Competitive Pricing:  The Royal Rota-Rack typically pays for itself within the first few months of use.
• Ability:  The ability to run a second or third shift with existing equipment and no additional employees, first-shift employees are freed up to handle more productive tasks, risk of part damage is greatly reduced, and parts are kept in order for quality control purposes.
• Reliability:  The Rota-Rack doesn't take sick days, and will keep your machines running long after your last employee has left for the night or weekend.

• Easy to Use:  The Royal Rota-Rack is very simple to setup and operate.

  • User enters the part cycle time & degree of turntable rotation via a simple PLC controller. A counter can also be set to shut the Rota-Rack down after a specified number of parts have been collected.

  • As a finished part comes out of the lathe, it drops onto the conveyor & is moved towards the Rota-Rack's rotating turntable.

  • Each time a part comes out of the machine, the Rota-Rack indexes to the next position. The degree of turntable rotation is easily adjusted according to part length.

  • As the turntable indexes, the parts are gently guided towards the center via the spiral.

  • After several hours of unmanned production, finished parts are manually removed from the center of the Rota-Rack.

• A unique rotary spiral that safely directs parts to the center of the turntable
• A low-friction UHMW material covers all contact surfaces for superior part protection
• The Royal Rota-Rack is especially good at protecting straight edges of milled parts – often a difficult task with other collection methods  
• Can be used to keep parts in order for quality control purposes
• No machine interface is required – unit plugs into a 110v outlet and the operator sets the index functions with a a simple touch-screen PLC 
• The degree of rotation is easily adjusted, enabling the Rota-Rack to handle short and long parts 
• Large capacity – 36" diameter turntable provides over 850 square inches of surface area
• Heavy-gauge steel construction enables the Rota-Rack to handle up to 700 lbs. of parts
• Universal design adapts to virtually all CNC lathes:
