Introduction to Programmable Rotary Tables

Programmable Rotary Tables have a multitude of applications in a wide variety of industries. They are used to position components that need to be rotated in specific, very accurate degrees of rotation so that manufacturing operations can be performed.

Advantages of Using Rotary Welding Positioners

Quality of welds are increased when a rotary welding positioner is used, as a welding location can always be moved to the ideal position that allows for the best, easiest work. Better ergonomics lead to better quality and repeatability, with workers able to adjust the angle and height at which their welding location is positioned.

Custom Linear Transfer Shuttle for Automotive Manufacturing

Motion Index Drives, Inc. was tasked with designing, engineering, and manufacturing a linear transfer shuttle that is a cross between a robot transfer unit and a tool tray transfer unit. The machine builder gave specific constraints in regards to payload to transfer, speed, overall dimensions, and critical maximum height.
