Achieve exact division and full 360° rotation for complex components
Indexing heads and rotary tables are precision positioners used on milling machines and boring mills to rotate workpieces either in defined angle steps or continuously for radial milling movements. The two device types are separate tools: the indexing heads (also known as indexers or dividing heads) provide mathematically exact indirect division using detent mechanisms or interchangeable hole plates, while the rotary tables (also known as rotary indexing tables or dividing tables) allow stepless rotation over 360° for radius machining and circular hole patterns.
How these positioners deliver process reliability and accuracy
Both systems transfer torque via a robust, backlash-free worm gear, adjustable to deliver positioning in the range of arc minutes and featuring self-locking behaviour for high holding torque. Plates and chucks are machined from grey cast iron to damp vibrations; clamping is effected via standard t-slots for direct fitting of clamps or quick mounting of jaw chucks. For long or slender parts, a matching tailstock provides a stabilising support. The technology spectrum spans manual units and semi-universal indexers right through to servo-driven, machine-control-integrated CNC indexing heads that convert a standard three-axis milling machine into a flexible multi-axis processing centre.
Clear production benefits you can rely on
- Faster set-up and reduced rework through mathematically exact indexing and repeatable positioning
- Vibration damping and stable clamping from grey cast iron construction and standard t-slots
- High holding torque and tool-force resistance via the self-locking worm gear
- Versatile use across operations: radius milling, circular drilling patterns, gear cutting and profile machining

FAQ
What is the difference between an indexing head and a rotary table?
An indexing head provides precise incremental division using detents or hole plates, while a rotary table enables stepless 360° rotation for radial milling and circular drilling patterns. Both tools complement one another in machining centres.
Can these units be used for gear cutting and spline machining?
Yes. Indexing heads and rotary tables are standard tools for gear cutting, multi-spline profiles, hexagonal features and complex shift shafts where exact symmetry and repeatability are required.
How does the worm gear improve machining stability?
The worm gear offers backlash-free transmission, fine positional control down to arc minutes and self-locking properties that deliver high holding torque to resist radial cutting forces without vibration.
Are there solutions for serial production?
Servo-driven CNC indexing heads integrate with machine controls to convert conventional three-axis machines into flexible multi-axis centres suitable for process-secure series production.
