Abstract
A linear dividing indexer has an upper table which moves transversely linear relative to a base. The upper table defines a slot disposed at an angle with the transverse direction of movement and includes an indexing mechanism formed from (a) an angle bar pivotally mounted to the base and an actuator bar slidably mounted in the angle bar, the actuating bar having a cam follower which slides within the upper table slot; and (b) wherein when the angle bar is at an angle to the slot, linear movement of the actuating bar within the angle bar causes transverse linear movement of upper table relative to the base.
Claims7
A linear indexer comprising an upper table and a base, wherein the upper table is mounted to and may move transversely linear relative to the base, wherein the upper table defines a slot disposed at an angle with the transverse direction of movement, and an indexing mechanism comprising:
- (a) an angle bar pivotally mounted to the base and an actuator bar slidably mounted in the angle bar, the actuating bar comprising a cam follower which slides within the upper table slot;
- (b) wherein when the angle bar is at an angle to the slot, linear movement of the actuating bar within the angle bar causes transverse linear movement of upper table relative to the base.
