Fibrotor Electro-Mechanical Rotary Indexers – Feature Summary

The extensive range of rotary indexers offered by Fibro GmbH suit a wide range of assembly and processing applications for many industries.

The Fibrotor ER and EM series tables offer fast rotary indexing of anything from tiny parts to heavy components with excellent positional accuracy and high reliability, all at a cost that is competitive with any other solution.

The cam-index mechanism used in Fibro ER and EM tables has significant advantages over other technologies including pneumatic indexers, hydraulic index tables and CNC rotary tables, making Fibrotor the leading solution for many applications.

In comparison to pneumatic or hydraulic index systems, Fibro electro-mechanical cam index tables have the following specific benefits:

A defined index motion with sinusoidal acceleration and deceleration is regular and dependable over time

Inherently smooth motion minimizes disturbance of the carried parts as well as wear and tear of the machine

Rapid indexing of heavy loads on a surprisingly small table size

Cam indexing does not rely on sequencing of actuators, adjustable pressure controls, flow controls or shock absorbers

There is no lost time for a return stroke between indexes

Using simple PLC Outputs, the table is indexed in either direction at any time

An “In-position” signal is returned to the PLC immediately when ready for processing

Fibro rotary indexers are designed for reliable continuous operation in industrial environments

Different types of rotary index motion are able to be simply programmed, including:

Repetitive indexing in a single direction at a precise angle increment

Index angles from 180 degrees to 1/24th of a turn or smaller

Bidirectional oscillation through any preset angle

Programmed index patterns in both directions

Infinitely programmable positioning of EM.NC tables

Suitable applications for Fibrotor ER and EM tables range from simple 180 degree loading/unloading tables that increase the efficiency of a robotic cell by removing loading time from the cell cycle time, through to carrying fixtured parts through a multi-stage processing cycle that may include automated load/unload, assembly, pressing, machining, inspection and marking stages.
