What is a Fixed Multi-station Rotary Indexer
A mechanical device used to precisely control several stations to execute operations in turn is the fixed multi-station rotary indexer. Its fundamental construction consists in an indexing mechanism, many fixed stations, and a rotary indexing plate. The indexing mechanism controls each station to precisely stop at a specified angle, thereby completing duties such processing, assembly, or inspection. The operating concept is to spin the indexing plate through the drive system. Widely applied in precision processing, assembly and inspection, this system is fit for multi-station automated production lines and may increase labour efficiency and production accuracy.
As a professional cam indexing table manufacturer. We provide one-stop service. There are complete types, 8 models in total, which are DS Shaft Model, DF Flange Shaft, DE Flange Shaft Model, DT Table Model, DA Ultra-thin Table Model, DSU Flange Lifting Model, DFN Flange Shaft Lifting Model, PU Paradex Model.We can customize the cam indexing table according to the different needs of customers, can choose Panasonic, Delta and other brands of motor.
Due to the large number of models in each product series, a specific model's product drawing and technical parameters will be selected for each product series shown below.
DS Shaft Model
Usually employed in automation and precision machining, DS shaft rotary indexers are a type of indexing mechanism driven by shaft. Its construction consists in drive shaft, indexing plate, positioning mechanism and support system. The positioning mechanism guarantees that every station stays in the exact position, which is appropriate for intermittent operation of several stations. The operating concept is to supply power through the drive shaft to make the indexing plate rotate accurately depending on the predetermined angle. Often employed in machining, assembly lines, and test equipment, the system boasts great accuracy, minimum backlash and stability.
DF Flange Shaft
Commonly employed in automated production lines and precision machining, DF flange shaft rotary indexers are precision indexing tools combining flange and shaft driving. Its construction consists in flange interface, drive shaft, indexing plate, positioning device and support system. Transmitting power through the drive shaft to drive the indexing plate to spin is the working concept; also, it guarantees precise station stopping through the positioning mechanism. Appropriate for intermittent operation of several stations, with great precision, stability and load capacity, extensively used in assembly, processing and testing and other industries, the flange interface makes it more convenient to connect with the motor or other equipment.
DE Flange Shaft Model
Appropriate for automation and precision machining, DE flange shaft rotary indexers are high-precision indexing control devices combining the design of flange interface and driving shaft. Its construction consists in flange interface, drive shaft, indexing plate, indexing mechanism and support assembly. The indexing mechanism controls the station to keep precisely at the specified angle; the operating concept is to send power through the drive shaft to rotate the indexing plate. Widely utilised in assembly, processing, testing, and other events requiring high-precision positioning, the flange interface offers easy motor connection, fit for multi-station intermittent operation.
DT Table Model
Mostly employed in automated production and precision machining, DT desktop rotary indexers are tools for exact indexing and placement. Its construction consists in a driving system, a support platform, a rotary indexing plate, and a positioning mechanism. The positioning mechanism guarantees that every station maintains precisely at a given angle while the operating principle is to drive the indexing plate to spin through a motor. Stable support offered by the desktop design fits for multi-station intermittent operation and can run in an environment with heavy load and high precision demands. It finds frequent usage in test equipment, machine tool processes, and assembly lines.
DA Ultra-thin Table Model
Compact design is adopted by DA ultra-thin tabletop rotary indexer using ultra-thin indexing plate, driving system and positioning mechanism. The positioning mechanism guarantees that every station stops precisely; the motor drives the indexing plate to revolve. Applied in precision processing and automated manufacturing lines, its ultra-thin structure is appropriate for those with limited space.
PU Paradex Model
High-precision indexing mechanism used in PU Paradex rotary indexer drives the indexing plate to revolve via the drive system. It is appropriate for uses with high load and high precision requirements since of its small construction and exact positioning. Widely applied in automation equipment, the working concept is to precisely regulate the rotation and stop of the indexing plate using the driving motor.

Selection Guide
Choosing the right indexer depends on your specific multi-station setup. Here is how our series differ in application.
DS Series (Shaft Model)
This series is suitable for indirect drive. If your multi-station system uses chain drives, conveyor belts, or gear transmissions to link multiple stations, the DS series with its shaft output is the most versatile choice.
01
DF Series (Flange Model)
This series Designed for direct mounting of turntables. The flange output offers superior rigidity, making it best for 4 to 8-station dials that carry heavy fixtures or undergo high-pressure processing.
02
DT Series (Table Model)
With its flat, non-swing surface, the DT series is perfect for electronic component assembly or optical inspection machines requiring a low profile.
03
DA Series (Ultrathin Platform)
If your machine design has tight height restrictions, this series can achieve the same positioning accuracy within a limited space.
04
PU Series (Parallel Shaft)
Usually used for lifting or stepping beam mechanisms. If your application scenario is mostly linear multi station transmission, then the PU series is a product worth considering.
05
FAQ
Q: Can the angles of the stations on a fixed multi-station indexer be changed later?
A: No. During manufacture, the fixed station angles are specified (for example, 60°/45°). To make changes, you have to go back to the factory for re-cam processing. We suggest checking the angles ahead of time based on the needs of the process.
Q: How many stations can be altered at the most?
A: The standard allows for 3 to 24 stations. For more than 24 stations, the load capacity must be checked (the more stations there are, the less load capacity there is per station, which our technical staff needs to figure out).
Q: What makes it different from a regular rotary table?
A: The fixed multi-station indexer features a built-in cam drive system that may be directly connected to a servo motor for intermittent rotation. This means that there is no need for a separate drive unit. Because they need a separate drive unit and have low precision (error ≥ 0.1mm), regular rotary tables are only good for low-precision tasks.
Q: What safety measures should be performed during maintenance? Every 1000 hours, use high-temperature grease (NLGI Grade 2) on the places where the cam and roller touch.
A: To keep things from adhering, clean the surface of the workstation once a week.
Do not go beyond the rated load (read the data sheet for more information). Overloading will make the cam wear out faster.
