Three piece face gear coupling allows tool disc to be indexed without lifting. It also ensures high repeat positioning accuracy and rigidity.
Special Features
Three piece face gear coupling allows tool disc to be indexed without lifting. It also ensures high repeat positioning accuracy and rigidity.
'Parallel Index' cam mechanism allows fast and smooth indexing of heavy tool disc's. Computer generated cam profiles ensure shock-free indexing action.
Totally enclosed, robust mechanism, with oil bath lubrication.
Electrical elements are conveniently located in a separate area, free from oil and coolant.
Bidirectional working can index in either direction to allow shortest indexing time.
Electric motor drives the cam shaft through a system of gears. Cam shaft indexes the follower shaft through a 'parallel index' drive mechanism. Cam shaft is also geared to the 'drum cam' which controls clamping and release of the 3 piece coupling.
One revolution of cam shaft completes one indexing cycle of 'declamping - indexing - clamping'.
Absolute position encoder gives feedback of the turret position. Proximity switch inspects the clamped position of the turret.
