Rotary Indexing Table Module
The Rotary Indexing Table Module transfers the work piece between the modules. It can absorb 4 pieces. In position 1 the work piece is committed by the Slide Module belonging to the Testing Station. Position 2 is located at Drilling Module and the Drilled Hole Checking Module is to be found on position 3. In position 4 the work piece is transferred to the subsequent module of the following station. The rotary indexing table is driven via a DC gear motor. The rotating plate positions are set on the rotary module by an adequate number of sensing elements which are detected via an inductive sensor. A hole has been drilled in the middle of each work piece in order that the availability of the work piece might be detected by an optical proximity sensor.
