Our fixed and flexible indexers have operated in various industries; sometimes running 15 years or more, without resulting in downtime. Motion Index Drives has always been dedicated to customizing and engineering equipment to meet our customer’s application needs. We have patented NANO Indexer Technology, producing the world’s most accurate barrel cam indexers. We have produced a MEDEX, or clean room ready line of products. We can modify applications to be completely sealed in order to eliminate any intrusions while manufacturing in harsh environments. Our company has grown to include not only rotary index tables but also precision link conveyors, linear transfer systems, weld positioners, custom built weldments and complementary components.Rotary Index Tables — Motion Index Drives has built the most robust and reliable rotary indexers available designed to achieve the highest accuracy. We offer a wide range of fixed and programmable indexing devices from Rotary Index Tables, Pick and Place Units, Trunnion Index Drives, Right Angle and Parallel Index Drives.Robotic Weld Positioners — Our Robotic welding positioners are offered as a complete trunnion solution; head and tail stock standard sets along with the heavy duty constructed base frame, HS/TS riser bases, and fixture backbones. They utilize our high capacity “zero backlash” TMF rotary turntable for the 180° exchange which creates accuracies of 9 arc seconds and repeatability of 2-3 arc seconds. Linear Transfer Systems — Motion Index Drives offers a wide range of indexed Linear Transfer Systems utilizing cam-driven devices and servo motors for 100% flexibility; from Robot Transfer Units, Tool Tray Transfer Units and Precision Link Conveyors.Complementary Components — We offer a wide range of complementary components and custom designs to meet your automation needs.
