Accueil » Electromechanical rings for indexing



- October 17, 2023
The MCPI design office designs rings for positioning systems for very heavy parts. Industrial operations use this technology, generally powered by a reduced gap synchronous geared motor connected to a gear with internal gap compensation. It is built into rotating tables for cutting, welding, surface treatment, cleaning and even inspection by automated robots.
Rotating rings: highly versatile technology
The electromechanical rings, variable in size (30-110cm), are used for different applications, offering huge versatility:
- In the aeronautical industry, they are used to manufacture fuselages and wings for aircraft, where their programmed rotation movements are coordinated with the movements of the welding robots;
- a large astronomy laboratory uses them to orient its space telescope along three rotation axes;
- the technology is also used by a metallurgy and mechanics laboratory to perform ultrasound inspections;
- pallet manufacturers use it for automated pallet assembly.
MCPI rings: robust in all circumstances
Often used in extreme conditions (foundry, forge, heavy mechanics, etc.) and/or to bear heavy loads, these rotating rings must be very solid. MCPI does its utmost to combine robustness with precision and reliability. User safety depends on it. Note: effort compensation systems can also be integrated.
High precision rotation
For indexing applications, precision and rapidity of digital control are enabled by using a synchronous motor. Its high starting torque and rapid stop ensure rapidity and quality performance, regardless of the load.
Electromechanical rings are also suitable for continuous rotation applications. In this case, asynchronous motor control is ideal.
