SYSTEM OVERVIEW

Specify the motion between indexing positions.

Indexing and transfer systems combine repetitive starts, stops and precise handoff positions. The RFQ should identify the station function, cycle rate and the relationship between the drive components.

An indexing mechanism can involve acceleration, dwell and repeated reversals. The part drawing should remain connected to the cycle and to the shaft, rack or reducer interface that locates it.

Typical component scope

Spur and helical gears
Gear shafts
Planetary components
Custom drive assemblies

Use the assembly reference and individual drawings to define which components are included.

OPERATING PRIORITIES

What matters in this application

Cycle definition

Describe rotation, dwell, acceleration and direction changes.

Mounting reference

Identify the datums used by the mechanism.

Acceptance conditions

State tooth, dimensional and positioning-related requirements separately.
