Orbital Systems Bombay Rotary Indexing Tables

The “Globoidal Cam Index Drives” are mechanical index tables which convert, continuous rotary input motion into intermittent, indexing output motion.



The input shaft carries the Globoidal cam. This cam has a groove, which obeys the acceleration control “motion law”. The out put shaft carries the cam followers, which engage in the groove of the cam.



The “motion laws” are designed to give a very smooth, jerk free indexing motion. Since the cam followers are pre-loaded against the cam, the backlash is practically zero. The index tables have large number of applications. They can be used in almost any automatic machine, which involves transfer of components on “rotary dial plate” or “linear indexing conveyor”.
