The Dial Plate

The dial plate, also known as the indexing head, is a crucial component of any rotary indexer. It serves as the primary interface between the rotary index drive and the manufacturing process. This mounting surface is fixed to the indexer’s top dial and features machined holes at various points for attaching tooling. Whether it’s for mounting robotic welding equipment, precision assembly fixtures, or delicate tools like toothbrush bristle holders, the dial plate is the foundation for all attachments.

OPTIONS

01

Custom Dimensions: Dial plates can be manufactured in various shapes and sizes, provided the indexer can handle the configuration.

02

Hole Configurations: Machining to specific drawings allows for precise placement of tools and less preparation work for customers.

03

Surfaces and Materials: Options include stainless steel, aluminum, anodizing, nickle plating, plastics, black oxide and other special coatings to meet application requirements.

IMPACTS

  • Applicable Tooling Configurations: Determines the types and sizes of tools or fixtures that can be mounted.
  • Precision at Tooling Interface Points: Ensures accurate and repeatable positioning of tools, which is critical for high-quality production processes.
