180DT Cam Divider Table Type Rotary Indexing Unit High Speed Intermittent Drive Automation Machinery

180DT Cam Divider Overview

The HONEPAN 180DT cam divider is a table-type rotary indexing unit that splits continuous input rotation into precise angular steps. Its high-speed intermittent drive handles rapid cycling in automation machinery while the mechanical cam lock holds each position firmly, ensuring accurate station alignment at every cycle.

Engineered for high-throughput production lines, the 180DT combines a hardened cam profile with precision needle rollers to deliver millions of clean, shock-free indexing cycles. Its table output accepts dial plates of various diameters for maximum design flexibility.

Working Principle

Continuous motor rotation drives the globoidal cam, which engages the table output's rollers to advance the dial one station per revolution. The cam's dwell section then locks the table mechanically, holding each station rigid without electronic holding torque.

Key Features

FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a cam indexer and how does it work?

A cam indexer converts continuous motor rotation into precise intermittent (stop-and-go) rotary motion. A hardened globoidal cam engages needle roller followers on the output turret, advancing it one station per revolution and mechanically locking it during dwell — no electronic feedback, sensor, or brake is required.

2. What is the output type of the 180DT?

The 180DT features a Table output, making it easy to mount dial plates, flanges, or fixtures directly. Its compact footprint integrates smoothly into automated assembly, packaging, and inspection workstations.

3. How many indexing stations are available?

The 180DT supports 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 (customizable). We can also custom-grind the cam profile for a different station count or dwell angle to match your exact production sequence.

4. What is the indexing accuracy?

Indexing accuracy is ±30 Sec. with repositioning accuracy of ±4 arcsec (±2 arcsec). This mechanical precision is maintained over a long service life thanks to the backlash-free cam-and-roller design.

5. What load and torque can it handle?

Please refer to the Technical Specifications table above for the allowable radial/axial loads (C1–C3), bending force (C4), input torque (C5), GD² (C6), and weight. For safety, all C1–C5 values are rated at a safety factor of 2.

6. Can you customize stations, dwell angle, or mounting interface?

Yes. We customize the number of stations, driving angle, dwell angle, cam curve, and mounting interface to your requirements. Send us your dial diameter, station count, payload, and cycle time for a tailored recommendation.

7. What is the MOQ, lead time, and warranty?

MOQ is 1 piece. Standard models ship within 4–20 days, and custom configurations may take longer. Every unit carries a 1-year warranty, a 60,000-hour design service life, and lifetime technical support.

8. What industries use HONEPAN cam indexers?

Our cam indexers are widely used in automated assembly, filling and capping, packaging, inspection, and machining systems across the automotive, electronics, hardware, pharmaceutical, and food industries.
