The TMF Series Programmable Rotary Index Table was engineered to satisfy the needs of the industrial manufacturing environment: fast, strong, reliable, high quality and cost effective. The TMF Series servo rotary index drive 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 are our large programmable rotary index tables and are ideal for applications starting at 80 inches up to over 60 feet in diameter. The TMF Series programmable rotary table was designed to be a completely flexible rotary index table, allowing for multiple over-sized cam followers to be engaged with the barrel cam at all times. The servo rotary index drives is driven directly via a gear motor that can utilize either an AC motor with encoder, servo or auxiliary axis robot motor. All these options provide very high accuracy (less than 10 arc seconds) and allow for the flexible rotary index table to be driven via a dedicated servo drive or robot amplifier. 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.

TMF350 Programable Rotary Indexer
Motion Index Drives is expanding its TMF series of fully programmable rotary indexing tables to include smaller models, replacing the current RT series in their lineup. One key benefit is that the smaller TMF series models engage more cam followers in the cam at once, providing more efficient movement of the output dial and better handling of inertial loads.
This ultra-compact, freely programmable index drive stands out for its ability to deliver the torque and inertial load capacity typically seen in larger units. Despite its small size, it offers high index speeds and is compatible with both servo and stepper motors, making it versatile for different applications.
The TMF350 was custom-designed for a manufacturer who needed a low-profile, rigid indexer that could be driven by a DC motor. This unit is designed for applications where space is limited, and it provides the strength and reliability needed for high-precision indexing in compact machines.
Key features:
- Compact and Robust Housing: The cast housing design is both space-efficient and durable, with a large center thru-hole for running utilities and mounting additional equipment.
- Low Profile: Its slim profile eliminates the need for bulky A-frame tooling or operator riser platforms, allowing it to fit into smaller machines.
- Large Rotating Diameter: The larger diameter increases the mounting surface area for equipment, enhancing its versatility.
- High Accuracy: The TMF series offers precision with less than 10 arc seconds of accuracy, whether driven by an AC motor with encoder or a servo motor.
- Increased Load Capability: The design of the barrel cam and cam followers significantly enhances the inertial load capacity, allowing the system to handle heavier loads efficiently.
