Trunnion System for 4th-Axis Machining in Rockford

A trunnion system is a machine tool automation add-on that can be fitted to existing equipment or purchased together with a new machine. Manufacturers start recouping their investment immediately through greater productivity and decreased downtime.

In addition to giving you the benefits of a horizontal on a vertical, MIDACO’s trunnion system for 4th-axis machining also provides other benefits such as:

  • The addition of a vertical rotary faceplate (VRF) for versatility and greater workholding options.
  • A single rotary indexer for operation of two trunnions
  • The equipment can be rotated 360° to use both sides
  • Designed to machine up to five sides of the part
