Applications:
Automotive Assembly Lines – Indexing rotary tables (e.g., IR / RIG) precisely and quickly move components (such as headlight units or switches) between sequential stations for screwing, gluing, and inspection.
Automatic Tool Changers on CNC Machine Tools – Tool changers (VTC / HTC) enable lightning-fast and repeatable tool swaps on vertical and horizontal machining centers.
Packaging in the Pharmaceutical and Cosmetics Industry – Globoidal and parallel axis cam drives ensure fast, synchronized filling, capping, and labeling of vials, bottles, or tubes.
Rotary Transfer Machines for Sheet Metal Forming – High-precision rotary tables position workpieces under presses or bending units with exceptional rigidity and impact resistance.
Beverage Bottling Lines – Oscillating and cyclic mechanisms ensure smooth transfer of bottles or cans between rinsing, filling, and capping without spillage.
Laser and Robotic Welding – Servo positioning modules (SRP / RIGS) rotate structural components into the optimal position, giving the welding robot unobstructed and precise access to the seam.
EV Battery Cell Manufacturing – High-precision controlled index tables and stepping mechanisms move battery anodes/cathodes through stacking, contact welding, and sealing processes.
White Goods Manufacturing – Stepping mechanisms and chain conveyors (CLT / Veloline) transport washing machine or refrigerator housings between assembly and testing stations.
Automated Inspection and AOI (Automated Optical Inspection) – Rotary tables with high repeatability position printed circuit boards or micro-components under cameras for 360-degree defect inspection.
Printing Presses and Pad Printing – Oscillating mechanisms move cliché or printing heads with smooth, continuous motion for precise ink application on curved surfaces.
Automated Palletizing Lines – Three-axis manipulators (M63) and handling systems quickly and accurately stack boxes or bags onto pallets in demanding production environments.
Plastic Injection Molding and Part Retrieval – Free-pallet conveyors (CLT) receive molded plastic parts directly from the machine and transport them in sync for further processing or cooling.
Tube Bending and Forming Machines – Special flat and cylindrical cams provide a precisely synchronized guide for complex 3D metal tube bending.
Electric Motor Manufacturing (Winding) – Oscillating mechanisms guide wire back and forth, enabling even and dense copper wire winding onto rotors and stators.
Cardboard Packaging Production – Stepping mechanisms (CF3 / CF4) handle the precise folding, gluing, and shaping of cardboard boxes at high speeds.
Test Benches and Rig Testing – Electronic phase cams and customized cam profiles allow cycle load simulation and fine-tuning of phase angles when testing automotive components.
Marking and Laser Engraving – Compact index tables rapidly rotate small workpieces (such as tools or medical instruments) under a laser beam for serial number engraving.
Logistics Sorting Systems – Modular transport platforms (TMP) and flexible conveyors enable fast redirection and sorting of packages based on their destination.
Predictive Maintenance (Industry 4.0) – Diagnostic modules (T-DAP) on indexing drives continuously monitor vibrations and temperature, alerting operators to wear before unplanned downtime occours.
Medical Device Manufacturing (Cleanrooms) – Enclosed, dust-free indexing tables move syringes, caps, or IV sets through sterile assembly and packaging processes.
