Trunnion Increases Productivity

The new Stallion Hybrid trunnions from TrunnionTable.com enable faceplates and chucks to be installed without removal of the trunnion table for faster part setups, increased productivity and higher-quality parts. The product comes in two models: the 9/20 and the 9/23. The units accommodate a variety of vises, fixtures, three- and four-jaw chucks and collet chucks for flexible job shop workholding. The 9/20 features dimensions of 9" × 20" and is designed to hold a 6" vise. The 9/23 features dimensions of 9" × 23" and is designed for double- or single-station 6" vises.

Subplates and quick-change subplates are available. Standard baseplates enable the trunnion assembly to be offset to one side of the machine to maximize machine travel. A pneumatic brake, built into the outboard support, provides as much as 600 lbs. of clamping. This makes the machine applicable for shops doing heavy off-center milling and drilling. Hydraulic workholding packages are also available.

The trunnions are engineered to bolt onto a machine’s rotary indexer, allowing operators to mill, drill, tap and contour as many as three sides of a part in one setup.
