How to Build Rotary Indexing Tables for Specific Applications

By Editor Design World | January 5, 2016

Share

imageThis Webinar covers the design of rotary indexers for automated positioning and transfer applications. In fact, rotary indexing is key to machine design for such automation in myriad industries.

Repeated angular displacement during a machine cycle followed by motionless dwell is rotary indexing. Component offerings to generate such motion abound. But the product field narrows for applications that demand maintenance-free precision and flexibility. This Webinar will cover the rotary-motion technologies from which engineers can pick — as well the benefits and drawbacks of each technology as they pertain to total system machine design.

Then the Webinar speakers will review the necessary application data to arrive at the most suitable rotary-indexing technology. They will present and review graphical depictions of typical automated rotary positioning designs and discuss related engineering principles. One speaker will then explain calculations involving mass, inertia, index time, accuracy, and repeatability — and then how to apply rotary-motion components in designs. The Webinar will then give attendees a list of critical elements to consider. It will close with a demonstration on variables that can affect performance and product life. Attendees will get a solid background to make suitable selections of rotary indexing components for automation design.

Attendees of this webinar will learn:

  • Which mechanical options for rotary indexers are most common, and how they compare to servodrive options
  • The basics of how rotary-indexing designs can differ and how prioritize design objectives for the application
  • Which elements positively and adversely affect rotary indexing performance (and life) when applied in machine design
