Table of Contents
An indexing table is a device utilized in machining and assembly processes to rotate workpieces to specific angles or positions.
Essential for precision tasks, such as drilling and cutting, the indexing table operates by connecting the rotating axis to a power source, enabling accurate rotation of the workpiece.
Commonly employed in machining and assembly industries, indexing tables can be operated manually using handles or automated with motors. Structurally, they consist of a rotating axis, a work table, and an indexer. The work table rotates, while the indexer controls the rotation angle of the workpiece, allowing for flexibility in accommodating various sizes and shapes of workpieces.
