Abstract
Indexing head with two rotating axes, with a first rotating axis A perpendicular to the fixing position with regard to the mode of operation of the head, and with a second rotating axis B in the axis of the fixing direction, in turn defining an upper part of the fixed head in relation to the B axis and a lower part of the head, which moves in relation to axes A and B; and which has a principal servomotor A (40) and a position locking mechanism on the A axis arranged on the part of the lower head; and a principal servomotor B (21) for rotation on the B axis with a position locking mechanism on the B axis arranged on said upper part of the head.

An indexing head with two rotating axes, with a first rotating axis A perpendicular to a fixing position with regard to a mode of operation of the head in a measuring machine, and with a second rotating axis B in the axis of a fixing direction, in turn defining an upper part of the head that is fixed with regard to the B axis and a lower part of the head, which moves in relation to axes A and B;
- the indexing head comprising:
- a principal servomotor A (26) for rotation on the axis A and a locking mechanism for the position on the axis A arranged in said lower part of the head;
- and a principal servomotor B (21) for rotation on the axis B with a locking mechanism for the position on the axis B arranged on said upper part of the head;
- the locking mechanism on the axis B comprising an anchor gear (2) connected to a transmission system (15) of a secondary motor B (14) which rotates an L-shaped part (8) caused by the anchor gear (2) sliding on a lever in such a way that it raises the lower part of the head;
- and
- where the locking mechanism on the axis A comprises an anchoring part (24) of an external casing (31) which has an array of ball bearings which allow said external casing (31) to be positioned and in turn moved forwards or backwards to lock the rotation of said external casing (31) depending on the rotational direction of a secondary servomotor A (33).
