Pallet Transfer System Under Construction

Rotary Indexer

Formats

Automation systems are created in a variety of formats, but the two most common formats are the rotary indexing system and the pallet transfer system.

The rotary indexing system provides the most compact and cost effective arrangement for most assemblies with a small or moderate component count. Processing stations are arranged around the circumference of the indexing dial, like slices of a pie, and process parts as they are carried past in a circle. The rotary indexing format is less flexible than the pallet transfer format, as there are only so many slices in the pie, but can be extended by linking multiple systems together.

For larger assemblies, or assemblies with a large number of components, or where flexibility is required, the pallet transfer system provides the best solution. In this format, stations are arranged along a conveyor. Assemblies are carried from station to station along the conveyor, on precision fixtured pallets. New stations can be inserted into the system by rearranging the conveyor. New assemblies can be introduced by exchanging the pallets.
