Abstract:
Now a days machining of component within single setup is more important concept for manufacturing of any product. As single set up machining results dimensional and geometrical tolerance within specific limit, this concept with specific product like rotary table, indexing table, work holding devices, special jig and fixtures etc. with machining center is more predominate. Single setup concept will increase productivity with cost effectiveness and consistent accuracy. The paper deals with the rotary indexing mechanism which is used for getting angular motion in required time. Different types of indexing mechanism are available in market like cylindrical cam with roller follower, duplex worm gear based, and Geneva mechanism. The Paper covers in designing of indexing mechanism, cam and follower and its motion curve is major part for creating its profile for getting particular indexing with required time, accuracy and cost.
