DeVlieg 40" x 40" Type "AM" Rotary Air Lift TableModel: Type AM (Air Lift / Manual Indexing)Surface Area: 40" x 40" Precision T-SlottedCapacity: 10,000 lbs (Approx.)Condition: Professional Grade / Industrial ReadyOverviewThe DeVlieg Type "AM" Air Lift table is a high-precision indexing fixture designed to maximize the versatility of your boring mill or large machining center. Its defining feature is a pneumatic "air lift" system that creates a frictionless cushion of air, allowing an operator to rotate a 5-ton workpiece with ease. Once positioned, the air is exhausted, and the table is rigidly clamped, providing the massive stability required for heavy-duty boring and milling operations.Technical SpecificationsTable Dimensions: 40" x 40" Ground Cast Iron Working SurfaceHeight: 10-3/4" (Top of table to base)Indexing: Precision 90° Shot Pin (4 locked positions)Graduations: 1° increments on a high-visibility vernier scale for 360° manual settingT-Slots: 7 Parallel T-slots (typically on 5" centers) plus cross-reference slotsBase Plate: Robust 41" x 44" footprint for maximum rigidityOperation: Air-assisted lift / Single-lever manual clampingShipping Weight: Approx. 3,200 – 3,700 lbsKey Performance FeaturesAir-Lift Technology: Virtually eliminates friction during rotation, protecting the precision-ground ways from wear and allowing for rapid part alignment.90° Shot Pin Indexing: Ensures repeatable, high-precision positioning for multi-sided "tombstone" machining, critical for maintaining bore alignment across 180° rotations.Heavy-Duty Workholding: Engineered to handle massive workpieces (up to 10,000+ lbs depending on the specific sub-model) without sacrificing accuracy.Versatile T-Slot Pattern: Designed to accommodate standard industrial clamping kits and custom fixtures for secure part retention.Dealer Note: "The DeVlieg Air Lift table is widely considered the 'gold standard' for HBM workholding. This 40x40 unit is the most sought-after size, providing enough surface area for large castings while maintaining a manageable footprint. It is an essential tool for any shop performing multi-sided boring where accuracy and setup speed are non-negotiable."
