The AccuRing Rotary Table by Centricity, with its "open center design," programmability, rotational repeatability, and large capacities, are standard features that offers a customer increased flexibility never before realized in a rotary table.

The "open center design," offers the opportunity to access parts from inside and outside the table simultaneously. This feature allows robotic devices, pick and place units, inspection equipment, or any ancillary tooling to be mounted inside the table, resulting in reduced floor space, less parts handling, lower fixture costs, and increased productivity.

AccuRing Rotary Tables are also completely programmable, allowing multiple parts with varying operations to be accommodated. Within minutes the entire function of the table can be changed.

The rotational repeatability and precision of the AccuRing Rotary Table far exceeds that of conventional cam driven indexers. When very precise repeatability is required, the AccuRing Rotary Tables External Feedback System is unsurpassed. By sensing the true position of the tooling ring, repeatability of .001" can be attained. Additionally, by utilizing state-of-the-art digital motors and drives nearly any motion profile can be executed. No longer is an application limited to a "cam" generated profile. The AccuRing Rotary Table provides the ability to control acceleration, deceleration, speed, dwell time, and direction. Even complex motion profiles, coordinated moves, and registration based moves can all be saved and recalled when the requirement arrives.

Because the AccuRing Rotary Table utilizes large, precision bearings located directly under the tooling ring, radial, thrust, and moment load capacities are significantly higher than conventional center driven indexers. These precision bearings are manufactured specifically for the AccuRing Rotary Table to demanding tolerances to provide years of dependable, precise performance.

All components are sized according to the customers' application requirements and nearly any base configuration can be provided. All AccuRing Rotary Tables are delivered assembled and tested, including the tooling ring, which is machined to the customers' specifications.

Centricity announces a new drive system for the AccuRing Rotary Table for the 2001 production year. The AccuRing Rotary Table is already known in the industry for its innovative design features, such as the open center chassis and programmable motion control system. With the development of the new drive system, design and manufacturing engineers will benefit from this highly accurate and dependable drive.

The AccuDrive system, now available on all AccuRing Rotary Tables, utilizes components traditionally used in cam driven units for strength and durability. The AccuDrive consists of a high precision drive gear matched with specially designed cam followers, resulting in exceptional positional accuracy, with torque values and load ratings far exceeding those of traditional cam driven units.

With the AccuDrive system, the AccuRing Rotary Table continues to provide solutions for today's ever changing and demanding processes. Call today for free literature or a quote on an AccuRing Rotary Table for your application.

Centricity, in Girard, Ohio, already known in the market for its revolutionary “open center design,” complete programmability, and high precision and strength, offers a wash-down option for its standard line of AccuRing Rotary Tables. The wash-down option offers customers even greater flexibility than ever before realized in a rotary system.

By utilizing stainless steel external components, nickel-plated internal components, FDA approved lubricants, wash-down motors, and a totally sealed chassis, the AccuRing Rotary Table is highly suited for applications in food preparation, pharmaceutical applications, meat processing, or any environment which would require regular component wash down. All of the eight standard models of the AccuRing Rotary Table, as well as any custom table now carry this feature as an option.

All AccuRing Rotary Tables are delivered assembled and tested, including the tooling ring machined to the customers’ specifications. All components are sized according to the customers’ requirements and nearly any base configuration can be provided.
