180DS Cam Rotary Indexing Table Heavy Duty Table Output Indexer Multi Station

Product Specification

180DS Cam Rotary Indexing Table Overview

The HONEPAN 180DS cam rotary indexing table features a heavy-duty table output that supports large dial plates and multi-station tooling. It provides rigid, repeatable rotary positioning for production lines that process multiple steps on a single rotating fixture, combining high load capacity with precision cam indexing.

Its reinforced bearings handle high radial and axial loads, while the mechanical station lock eliminates drift under load. This makes the 180DS a trusted platform for heavy rotary tables, multi-station assembly, and machining fixtures.

Working Principle

The motor drives a globoidal cam that engages the heavy-duty table output's needle rollers, advancing the dial through its station sequence. The cam's dwell section locks the table mechanically at each position, holding heavy loads rigid without servo or hydraulic holding force.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty table output for large, loaded dials
• Multi-station cam profile with precise dwell timing
• Reinforced bearings for high radial and axial loads
• Mechanical lock eliminates station drift under load
• Deep-hardened cam for extended service life
• Optional hydraulic clamping for extreme stability
• Configurable stations up to 16 positions

Technical Specifications

Note 1: Input shaft GD² is the dwell value. Note 2: C1~C5 values are allowable values at a safety factor of 2.

FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a cam indexer and how does it work?

A cam indexer converts continuous motor rotation into precise intermittent (stop-and-go) rotary motion. A hardened globoidal cam engages needle roller followers on the output turret, advancing it one station per revolution and mechanically locking it during dwell — no electronic feedback, sensor, or brake is required.

2. What is the output type of the 180DS?

The 180DS features a Table output, making it easy to mount dial plates, flanges, or fixtures directly. Its compact footprint integrates smoothly into automated assembly, packaging, and inspection workstations.

3. How many indexing stations are available?

The 180DS supports 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16 (customizable). We can also custom-grind the cam profile for a different station count or dwell angle to match your exact production sequence.

4. What is the indexing accuracy?

Indexing accuracy is ±30 Sec. with repositioning accuracy of ±4 arcsec (±2 arcsec). This mechanical precision is maintained over a long service life thanks to the backlash-free cam-and-roller design.

5. What load and torque can it handle?

Please refer to the Technical Specifications table above for the allowable radial/axial loads (C1–C3), bending force (C4), input torque (C5), GD² (C6), and weight. For safety, all C1–C5 values are rated at a safety factor of 2.

6. Can you customize stations, dwell angle, or mounting interface?

Yes. We customize the number of stations, driving angle, dwell angle, cam curve, and mounting interface to your requirements. Send us your dial diameter, station count, payload, and cycle time for a tailored recommendation.

7. What is the MOQ, lead time, and warranty?

MOQ is 1 piece. Standard models ship within 4–20 days, and custom configurations may take longer. Every unit carries a 1-year warranty, a 60,000-hour design service life, and lifetime technical support.

8. What industries use HONEPAN cam indexers?

Our cam indexers are widely used in automated assembly, filling and capping, packaging, inspection, and machining systems across the automotive, electronics, hardware, pharmaceutical, and food industries.
