Sherline CNC Rotary Indexer w/o Power Supply

• Sherline CNC Rotary Indexer w/o Power Supply
• Features a microprocessor with keypad input
• Offers 28,800 steps per revolution
• Ensures ±0.006° per step accuracy
• Functions as a standalone or integrated unit
• Supports daisy chaining with other units

The Sherline CNC Rotary Indexer w/o Power Supply is a specialized device designed for precise rotary indexing tasks, distinct from linear controllers. It features a microprocessor unit equipped with a numeric input keypad, enabling users to input the number of steps per revolution or degrees per step with ease. This facilitates quick and accurate positioning of the rotary table at the press of a single advance key. In the event of an error, previous positions can be retrieved accurately with the touch of another button. The device boasts a basic resolution of 28,800 steps per revolution, with an accuracy of ±0.006° per step, making it ideal for machining intricate items such as gears with unusual tooth counts. The computations are performed internally to ensure high precision and prevent cumulative errors.

This CNC rotary indexer operates as a stand-alone unit, providing all necessary components to simplify complex indexing tasks. It can also integrate with existing CNC control systems, where an input signal initiates the programmed function, and upon completion, it signals back to resume the program. Additionally, the unit supports “daisy chaining” with other units, enabling sequential actions to be triggered. This feature extends to Sherline’s linear controller, allowing for combined rotary and linear movements in sequence, which is particularly useful for advanced operations like gear cutting without requiring extensive CNC programming knowledge. Comprehensive instructions accompany the device, ensuring users can fully leverage its capabilities.
