TMF Series Programmable Rotary Index Table 1000

The TMF Series Programmable Rotary Index Table was engineered to satisfy the needs of the 21st century industrial manufacturing environment: fast, strong, reliable, high quality and cost effective. The TMF Series servo rotary index drives features a cast housing that is compact and has all the characteristics a manufacturer looks for: large center thru-hole for running utilities and mounting equipment. Our flexible rotary index tables are very low profile to eliminate the need for large A-frame type tooling or operator riser platforms, and a large rotating diameter for increased mounting surface.

The TMF Series Programmable Rotary Index Table was designed to be a completely flexible rotary index table, allowing for a minimum of 4 over-sized cam followers to be engaged with the barrel cam at all times. The flexible rotary index table is driven directly via a gear motor that can utilize either an AC motor with encoder or servo. Both options provide very high accuracy (less than 10 arc seconds) and allow for the flexible rotary index table to be driven via a dedicated or robot drive. Loading capabilities are multiplied significantly in this line of indexers through the design of the barrel cam and cam followers. This unique design allows for unprecedented inertial load capability.

TECHNICAL BENEFITS FOR USERS
