Vadnais Heights, Minnesota – Nexen Group Inc. introduces the precision ring drive indexer (PRD) – a highly flexible, durable, and efficient alternative to direct drive motors capable of 2x faster indexing than competitive indexing options. Unlike most cam drive systems, the PRD can start and stop at any incremental position. The motion profile is quickly and easily changed by simply loading a new servo drive program into the system. As a result, this solution delivers precise and flexible indexing and rotary positioning ideal for a wide range of welding, positioning system, medical product, automotive, aerospace and semiconductor applications.
The PRD combines roller pinion system technology with a precision-grade bearing and gearhead. The PRD table is supported by a high capacity cross-roller bearing rated for loads up to 1,575kN. It is capable of speeds up to 94rpm and can handle peak torque inputs at any time.
