  • Page 15: Function

    Operating instructions Construction and function Function The drive (2) drives the indexing ring / output flange (1) via the input shaft (3) through the drum cam. The output plane is offset by 90° to the drive plane. A uniform radial motion is converted on the input side into a clocked or uniformly reduced output motion.
  • Page 16: Operating Modes

    This operating mode is often used in fast-running systems with short machining times. The incomplete machine is mechanically synchronized to the rest of the system via the free drive shaft. The ratio between cogging and stepping time can be adjusted within certain limits by TAKTOMAT during cam production.

    Operating instructions Transport Transport Safety information NOTICE Damage arising from improper transport! Improper transport can cause significant damage to property.  Take care and take note of the symbols on the packaging when unloading the partly completed machinery on delivery and when transporting it on the premises. Transport inspection Immediately on receipt, check to make certain that the delivery is complete and has not been damaged during transport.
  • Page 19 Operating instructions Transport 4.2.1 Transport using sling equipment Staff Protective equipment Qualified staff The sling equipment (see figure) must be attached to the attachment points (see table and dimensions sheet) in  the positions shown in the figure and checked to ensure that it is working correctly (see the instructions for the sling equipment).
  • Page 20 Operating instructions Transport Lifting instructions: The angle between the perpendicular and the sling chain must lie between 0° and 45°. WARNING Risk of injury from falling or sinking load! Too weak dimensioned sling equipment can break. Transport vehicles can fail or topple if they are not designed for the weight of the partly completed machinery.

  • Page 26: Guidelines For Drive Control Of Rotary Indexers

    Operating instructions Mechanical installation Guidelines for drive control of rotary indexers The switching time is calculated when designing rotary indexers. The switching time is the time required to move the output flange from the station to the station (switching) at the constant rated motor speed (50 Hz). The switching time does not include times for motor movement in the cogging range, as well as the time for motor acceleration and deceleration.
  • Page 27 Operating instructions Mechanical installation The switching range of the output flange is shown in the figure below. Correspondingly, the figure shows the switching range of the cam, which corresponds to the milled off area of the cam. Example: Rotary indexer, 4 stations (90°), switching time 0.8 s, switching angle 300°, cogging range 60° Output flange 90°...
  • Page 28 Operating instructions Mechanical installation The acceleration and deceleration time of the motor depends on many parameters and especially on how the motor and the brake are controlled. As a result, the start-up time or the stopping time of the motor can vary greatly. If the motor is not optimally controlled, the stopping time can be so high that the motor can no longer stop in the cogging range and overruns the cogging range.

    Operating instructions Mechanical installation Lubrication 5.6.1 Requirements for lubricants General To ensure safe operation and a long service life, it is necessary to lubricate the machine carefully. The specified oil and grease must be applied to all lubrication points. Carefully clean dirty lubrication points using a suitable agent and then lubricate them with new lubricant. After lubrication, any excess lubricant must be removed and properly disposed of.
