Abstract
A rotary indexing table assembly includes an axis of rotation, a rotation element and a receiving assembly. The rotation element is rotatable about the axis of rotation and has a centering opening coaxial with the axis of rotation. The receiving assembly has a spring system and a pin assembly. The pin assembly has a pin body, movable along the axis of rotation by the spring system and settable in a set-up state or a blocking state. In the set-up state, the rotation element is releasably connected to the receiving assembly, and in the blocking state, the rotation element is fixedly connected to the receiving assembly.
Claims11
A rotary indexing table assembly comprising:
- an axis of rotation;
- a rotation element, rotatable about the axis of rotation, the rotation element comprising a centering opening coaxial with the axis of rotation and a first planar surface;
- and
- a receiving assembly comprising:
- a second planar surface;
- a spring system;
- and
- a pin assembly, the pin assembly comprising:
- a pin body, movable along the axis of rotation by the spring system and settable in a set-up state or a blocking state such that,
- in the set-up state, the rotation element is releasably connected to the receiving assembly;
- and
- in the blocking state, the rotation element is fixedly connected to the receiving assembly and the first planar surface is resting directly on the second planar surface.
