Gearheads vs. Programmable Index Drives for Horizontal Rotation Applications
In Industrial Automation, it seems there is a growing trend of rotation devices to become infinitely programmable. When doing so, some find using a gearbox or gearhead would work fine for this, coupled to a servo motor or AC motor with encoder. Others have been finding out the difficult way that on horizontal rotating applications… Read More
The Differences, Applications and Benefits of Weld Positioners
Points to be Made and Money to be Saved: Weld Positioners Differences Weld Positioners are vertically mounted Rotary Index Tables designed for the unique purpose of creating a plane of rotation perpendicular to the floor. With this system, large sets of tooling can be mounted to simple box frames and rotated above the floor. This… Read More
Robot Integration
Recently, Motion was given the opportunity to custom design a standard RT400/4/300 Rotary Index Drive with an integrated robot base. The process involved robotically applied products during a spray (paint) process used in an explosion proof environment. Motion Index Drives is always striving to accommodate customer specifications through customized solutions. We were able to meet… Read More
Stainless Steel Conveyor – Food Processing
The Motion Index Drives Stainless Steel Precision Link Indexing System is manufactured to meet and exceed requirements established for “wash” down environments conducive to food processing facilities.
Get More Out of Your Automation
Products of discrete manufacturing are very often produced in large quantities from several dozen to several hundred. Because of this, it is often not economical to use single-purpose, automated machines, known as “fixed”, to manufacture specific products. In such an environment, programmable automation is potentially very useful. The essential difference between conventional factory machines and… Read More
