150DA Indexing Turntable Overview

The HONEPAN 150DA indexing turntable combines a precision cam mechanism with a flange-mounted output for fast, accurate rotary dial positioning. It is a proven building block for assembly and inspection systems that cycle rapidly through multiple stations, delivering the speed and repeatability that high-throughput production demands.

Its hardened cam profile and precision needle rollers produce millions of clean, shock-free indexing cycles, while the flange mount accepts standard and custom dial plates for maximum design flexibility. The 150DA is equally at home in high-speed assembly dials, vision inspection stations, and sorting turntables.

Working Principle

The motor drives a globoidal cam that engages rollers on the flange output, advancing the dial through one station per cam revolution. During dwell, the cam's flat section mechanically locks the flange, holding each station precisely aligned while tooling or inspection heads operate. This mechanical lock requires no holding current, maximizing energy efficiency.

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 150DA?

The 150DA features a Flange 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 150DA 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.
