Indexing Tables Support Moving Work between Machines

The MBT series of manual indexing tables from Indexing Technologies incorporates a precision Hirth coupling (face gear) for optimum positioning accuracy, repeatability and rigidity. The tables are offered with either 360 teeth for 1-degree indexing or 72 teeth for 5-degree spacing, all within a radial accuracy of ±2 arcseconds. Additionally, these tables are available in 10 different frame sizes ranging from 18" to 118" square or rectangular, all prepared with T slots and a center “pilot” bore for rapid and precise fixture locating.

Designed to be completely self-contained, the tables are supplied with removable lifting bars which enable them to be easily moved on and off of a machine or between different machines as needed. Users can leave the workpiece and fixture on the table and move the entire assembly through a variety of machines and operations to reduce valuable setup time.

With a maximum load capacity of 50,000 lbs, the company says that the series offers models suitable for most applications on horizontal boring mills, machining centers, milling and grinding machines, or gear cutting and grinding machines.
