Jimani uses Sherline rotary indexers as one of the main accessories for our Langolier fiber laser marking systems. About 2 months ago we sold a Langolier to Sherline to mark their components internally. The Vice President of Manufacturing for Sherline, Karl Rohlin, contacted us a few weeks ago and asked if we would be interested in a custom designed manual X-Y table for the Langolier. We talked about it and decided that we should make one.
The following photos show the new X/Y table up close and integrated with a Langolier Open Table system.
Karl Rohlin says "A few months ago we purchased a Langolier engraving laser from Jimani. I was very impressed with Jimani. They are a very solid company from the top down, and they build a great machine.
Jimani is already using our rotary table, and we also make our own X/Y tables. I believed that we could build a custom X/Y table with a tooling plate that would enhance the operation of the laser while adding ease and versatility to set-ups.
The tooling plate has dual purpose ¼” holes, on 1” centers. These holes are threaded ¼-20 on the bottom and reamed to ¼ on the top. This allows each hole to be used as a “part locating” hole when you insert a ¼” dowel pin. Each hole can also be used as a clamping hole using the ¼-20 thread.
In addition to the ¼-20 holes, the plate also has 10-32 holes which are positioned to mount the rotary table and tilting angle plate.
We at Sherline Products believe that our 18” X/Y base with the engraving tooling plate is a great addition to the Jimani engraving laser. I was very excited to work with Jim Earman on this accessory and to have the opportunity to make a custom accessory for his machines. We really like the finished product of machine and accessory and hope you do too."
