Troyke 9" Tilting Rotary Table TIL-9-A

[ChandlerJPerry]

I thought I would show off this monstrous Troyke rotary table I rescued from a previous employer. I came to be friends with some people in the machine shop we had on site and spied this gathering dust on a shelf, it was useless to them since their CNC equipment had obsoleted it. After I inquired about it, it happened to grow a pair of legs and find its way to the trunk of my car .







It takes either two people or an engine hoist to lift it which is why I've got it rolling around on a small dolly for now. The build quality is incredibly robust, definitely intended for constant industrial use. Curiously I noticed it actually has sight glasses in a couple spots, so I would assume parts of the mechanism are meant to run in an oil bath.


I need to contact Troyke and see if they can give me any info on oil type, servicing etc.

Probably the last rotary table I'll ever need!

I have one similar except it is a German made Imperial 12.5"

That is beautiful......... as long as I do NOT have to lift it!

I was able to speak to a gentleman named Bob Hooker, who is the production manager for Troyke. He was incredibly helpful and was able to find me some original documentation for this model which I will attach to my post in the event that anyone else ends up needing it. He told me that this is a fairly uncommon model, and not many were made as they were usually sold with servo motors mounted instead of handwheels so they could be used powered for 4th/5th axis work.
