Move the machining center tool(Σ10mm or larger tool) onto the push bar on the top of the TOUCHDEX.
2.
Using the Z axis movement of the machining center, press the push bar with the tool.
3.
The table is clamped automatically when the push bar is returned.
4.
Recommence machining on the newly indexed face.
The use of a
locking pin to fix the workpiece provides a clamping force 2
to 3 times that of an ordinary index table, thus allowing heavy
machining.Can be used for milling, end milling, drilling or
tapping.
As a power
control cable is not required, installation on the machine
is simplified. Mounting the TOUCHDEX on a suitable machine
at the right time, makes automatic indexing possible and
creates a flexible production system.
Since
it has no motorized parts, it can be installed in a minimum
amount of space. Area required for installation is approximately
half that of the normal index table.The main unit is also
lightweight.
By lining up a two or more TOUCHDEX on the table, multiple
surface of a plurality of workpieces can be machined simultaneously.
Indexing
accuracy of less than 30 seconds (cumulative).
Repeat accuracy }3 seconds.
The unique clamping system ensures high accuracy despite locking pin wear, and with zero backlash for the life of the unit.
