The Lift and rotate rotary indexer motion is commonly used in automation applications stretching across many different industries, whether it is a light medical device product or a large components utilized in an aerospace application. The lift and rotate units that Motion Index Drives engineers and design are project specific and range in sizes and methodology of achieving the lift and rotation movement. The Lift and rotate rotary indexer lift strokes are unlimited in length and can be achieved in a few different ways to optimize performance and value for the end customer.
METHODS TO INCORPORATE FOR PRECISION LIFTS
Fixed cam technology using a cam follower and mechanical dwell for positive location and locking in-position
Programmable cam technology using numerical controlled devices for positive location
Acme screw technology using numerical controlled devices for positive location
Ball screw technology using numerical controlled devices for positive location
Rack and pinion technology using numerical controlled devices for positive location.
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- High precision cam technology on rotary index tables – (also on lift, when applied)
- Smooth lift and lowering motion
- Hydraulic compensation system to assist on lift strokes if weights are extremely heavy
- Special mounting plates to give customers ease of assembling tooling fixtures
- High-quality linear bearing guides for lifting mechanisms
Unlimited lift strokes – each lift and rotate is customer engineered for each application - Bellows for keeping contaminants out of lift mechanism
- Synchronization mechanically of lift and rotate motions
- Synchronization of lift and rotate motion using servo motor and drive technology
