Industrial applications · MI Series
A rotary indexing table moves a part or fixture into the right position at the right moment. Every stop creates a reference for assembly, welding, machining, inspection, filling or packaging — turning isolated motions into a clear technical sequence.
Applications by industry
These examples start the conversation. Model confirmation always depends on weight, inertia, diameter, positions, indexing time, power, transmission and actual machine conditions.
01 · MobilityAutomotive cells combine assembly, testing, vision and transfer. Indexing establishes the reference between stations for subassemblies, conventional components and electric-mobility stages.
Define fixture mass, centre of gravity, radius and available indexing time early.
02 · Life scienceAt sequential stations with small components, indexing can organize assembly, handling, inspection and testing. Material, cleaning, control and validation requirements belong to the specific application project.
Define sanitary, containment and validation requirements with the process team.
03 · Robotic cellsThe table can alternate fixtures between loading, operation and unloading while organizing robot and peripheral access. The solution must be assessed with part geometry, guarding, cabling and the manufacturing sequence.
Fixture rigidity, safety zones and peripherals directly affect the configuration.
04 · Special machinesIn rotary transfer machines, the part moves through drilling, tapping, machining and measurement. The table turns the station set into a repetitive sequence coordinated by the production cycle.
Consider divisions, useful machining time and total inertia of disc, fixtures and parts.
05 · Production and handlingPackaging lines combine feeding, dosing, closing, inspection and transfer. The table can be the movement hub between stations when every operation requires a repeatable position.
Check product, package, fixture, peripherals and dwell time at every station.
Assembly, functional testing, vision and component handling at compact stations.
Tightening, application, assembly, testing and subassembly transfer.
Repeatable positioning for instruments, cameras, sensors and dedicated fixtures.
Application selection
Processes in the same segment can require different tables. Pre-selection crosses MI Series published parameters; Engineering confirms the configuration before final definition.
Disc/top plate, parts, fixtures, weights and radius.
Positions, rotation direction, indexing and dwell.
Inertia, power, recommended diameter and transmission.
Technical FAQ
Start with the rotating assembly and the cycle: provide weight, inertia, diameter, positions, indexing time and control integration. The calculator supports pre-selection; Engineering validates the application.
It can organize fixture transfer and positioning in robotic cells. Suitability depends on the part, fixture, guarding, peripherals, cycle and actual operating conditions.
The fixed line supports sequences with divisions defined by the process. The CNC programmable line is for control architectures requiring programmed positioning. Application data defines the choice.
Automotive, electric mobility, pharmaceutical, laboratory, electronics, robotic welding, serial machining, packaging, testing and special machines are contexts where indexing can be assessed.
