For the Frie­de­mann Wag­ner GmbH, a pro­fes­sio­nal in the field of hand­ling and auto­ma­ti­on tech­no­lo­gy, the RSE‑4 rota­ry index­ing table is visua­li­zed. The focus of the pro­ject is on the visu­al descrip­ti­on of the func­tio­n­a­li­ty, the nume­rous adjus­t­ment and con­ver­si­on opti­ons as well as the cor­rect hand­ling of the pro­duct. This pro­ject demons­tra­tes the pos­si­bi­li­ties and advan­ta­ges of ani­ma­ti­on. Only with the help of ani­ma­ti­ons can the cus­to­mer and user under­stand the func­tion as well as com­plex tech­ni­cal facts in the shor­test pos­si­ble time.

The animations as well as the respective animation descriptions, arranged exemplarily in tabs:

3D Product Visualization – Rotary indexing table RSE‑4

This pro­duct visua­liz­a­ti­on intro­du­ces the RSE‑4 (and RSE‑3) rota­ry index­ing table from Frie­de­mann Wag­ner GmbH. The main ope­ra­ting modes, the func­tio­n­a­li­ty as well as addi­tio­nal fea­tures and set­ting opti­ons are pre­sen­ted in a short and under­stand­a­ble way. The other tabs con­tain the indi­vi­du­al ani­ma­ti­ons that high­light and exp­lain the indi­vi­du­al func­tions and fea­tures of the product.

Mode of operation – Rotary indexing table RSE‑4

Mode of ope­ra­ti­on of the RSE‑4 (and RSE‑3) rota­ry index­ing table. When the rack (pis­ton) is enga­ged, the pla­ten is rota­ted (feed). The line­ar move­ment is con­ver­ted into rota­ti­on. In the end posi­ti­on, the dri­ve is dis­en­ga­ged and at the same time the plat­ter is inde­xed for machi­ning the work­pie­ce (locked tor­que absorp­ti­on 100 Nm by 2 index bolts). When the pla­te is locked, the rack moves back to the star­ting posi­ti­on. The con­trol can thus take place via a 5/2 direc­tio­n­al con­trol valve!

Counterclockwise rotation – Rotary indexing table RSE‑4

Pneu­ma­tic rota­ry index­ing table RSE‑4. Shown here in coun­ter­clock­wi­se rota­ti­on, view­ed from abo­ve the pla­ten. The direc­tion of rota­ti­on can be chan­ged by the cus­to­mer. In addi­ti­on, a con­ver­si­on kit for pen­du­lum ope­ra­ti­on is avail­ab­le as an accessory!

Clockwise rotation – Rotary indexing table RSE‑4

Pneu­ma­tic rota­ry index­ing table RSE‑4. Shown here in clock­wi­se rota­ti­on, view­ed from abo­ve on the pla­ten. The direc­tion of rota­ti­on can be chan­ged by the cus­to­mer. In addi­ti­on, a con­ver­si­on kit for pen­du­lum ope­ra­ti­on is avail­ab­le as an accessory!

Pendulum operation 180° – Rotary indexing table RSE‑4

Ani­ma­ti­on of a pen­du­lum ope­ra­ti­on left / right – 180°. The RSE‑3 and RSE‑4 rota­ry index­ing unit can alrea­dy be orde­red ex works in pen­du­lum design. Alter­na­tively, a later con­ver­si­on is also pos­si­ble (access­ories, con­ver­si­on kit).

Pendulum operation free control – Rotary indexing table RSE‑4

Ani­ma­ti­on of a pen­du­lum ope­ra­ti­on left / right – free con­trol. The RSE‑3 and RSE‑4 rota­ry swit­ching unit can alrea­dy be orde­red ex works in a pen­du­lum ver­si­on. Alter­na­tively, a later con­ver­si­on is also pos­si­ble (access­ories, con­ver­si­on kit).

Throttle for setting the rotational speed – RSE‑4 rotary indexing table

For ste­p­less adjus­t­ment of the pla­te speed, the rota­ry index­ing unit has an inte­gra­ted exhaust air thrott­le ex works. This means that it does not have to be pro­cu­red or con­nec­ted separately.

Position sensing Proximity sensor NSS-O‑6.5 in Rotary Indexing Unit RSE‑4

Shown here is the sen­sing via the NSS-O‑6.5‑S-65 pro­xi­mi­ty switch set. The sen­sors are sim­ply screwed in ins­tead of the dum­my plugs and ack­now­ledge the end posi­ti­on of the rack. Shown on a table in coun­ter­clock­wi­se rota­ti­on (view­ed from abo­ve on the pla­ten), you can see the signa­ling after the end of the feed (pla­ten rota­ted) and when the rack is retrac­ted (implies: locked).

Shock absorber in Rotary Unit RSE‑4

Shown here is the instal­la­ti­on situa­ti­on of the dam­per with a table in coun­ter­clock­wi­se rota­ti­on (coun­ter­clock­wi­se, view­ed from abo­ve on the pla­te). Depen­ding on the moving iner­tia and load, the dam­per must be adjus­ted eit­her via the adjus­ting screw or, if necessa­ry, by tur­ning the dam­per in and out (effec­ti­ve stroke).

Damper setting for correct locking

If the dam­ping of the rota­ry index­ing table is not cor­rect­ly adjus­ted to the load, the kine­tic ener­gy will cau­se the table to stop pre­ma­tu­re­ly or to over­run the index posi­ti­on. Depen­ding on the situa­ti­on, this pre­vents or makes it more dif­fi­cult to lock the plat­ter, sin­ce the two bolts can­not find their way into the lock free­ly. The tape­red locking pins do allow index­ing, but this is asso­cia­ted with mes­sy move­ment and wear. Most of the time, this small adjus­t­ment error can be seen by the pla­te moving for­ward or back­ward. The­re­fo­re, always adjust the shock absor­ber to your load (adjus­ting screw on the shock absor­ber or uti­li­zing the stro­ke by tur­ning the shock absor­ber in or out).
