Colombo Filippetti - Globoidal cam indexing tables RIGIDIAL

Product catalog summary
General Overview
The document details the RIGIDIAL range of globoidal cam indexing tables, which offer high performance at a low cost. These tables convert continuous rotary motion into indexing motion, supported by a large crossed roller bearing for accuracy and rigidity. The precision cam is nitrided for wear resistance and smooth operation.
Operation
RIGIDIAL tables complete a full cycle with one full turn of the input shaft, except for models with 20-24-32 stations. The indexing period is determined by the camshaft's rotation angle, while the dwell period locks the output plate. Two operational methods are described: electrical control for longer dwell times and continuous camshaft rotation for fast applications.
Danger Areas
Access to danger areas is prohibited during operation. Maintenance should only occur with the motor switched off.
Applications
These tables are ideal for linear and rotary indexing systems, especially in assembly, transfer, and welding plants where space is limited and fast, smooth motion is needed.
Choice of Type
Selection depends on required output torque, considering inertia, friction, and operational forces. Consultation with the Engineering Department is advised for dimensional calculations.
Mounting Instructions
Tables can be mounted in any position, ensuring rigid anchoring and proper lubrication. Excessive torque should be avoided, and anaerobic material is recommended for anchor screws.
Using the Self-Braking Motor
A self-braking motor or brake-clutch unit is recommended for extended dwell periods. Manual disengagement of the brake is advised for retooling or emergency stops.
Instructions for Correct Operation
Flexible drive components should be avoided. Torsionally rigid couplings and self-locking screws are recommended.
Commissioning and Maintenance
RIGIDIAL tables come with Long-Life lubrication and require regular inspection for lubricant leaks. Maintenance is necessary if excessive leaking occurs.
Table Mounting Positions
Tables can be mounted in various positions, with V5 being standard. The input shaft is typically in the DA position.
Overall Dimensions and Options
Diagrams and notes on dimensions and standard package accessories for RIGIDIAL 4 are included, featuring a self-braking gearmotor and worm reduction gear.

- Load capacities and technical characteristics are provided for different table series (RIGIDIAL 4, 6, 9).
Recommendations
- Use of torque limiter to prevent damage under accidental overloads.
- Calibration of torque limiter should ensure rigid transmission without slipping.
- Long-life lubrication with ISO VG 150 mineral oil is recommended for RIGIDIAL tables.
Tables and Figures
- Detailed tables provide characteristics for RIGIDIAL 4, 6, and 9 series, including torque, velocity, and acceleration coefficients.
- Technical characteristics of reduction gears are listed with power and output torque for various ratios.
- Figures illustrate mounting positions, lubrication indications, and torque limiter adjustments.
Critical Information
- Ensure proper calibration of torque limiter to avoid damage.
- Follow specified lubrication guidelines to maintain long-life performance.
- Adhere to specified dimensions and standards for optimal operation.
Mounting and Use of Limit Switch Cam
The limit switch cam assembly extends the mechanical cam dwell period or reverses the motor's rotational direction during the dwell period, allowing a change from one-way indexed motion to oscillating index motion. The keyway of the input shaft is centrally placed in the cam's dwell period, with a reference notch indicating the position for the limit switch to trip. An aluminum plate supports the limit switch, and a pin on the input shaft head supports the cams, which are secured with grub screws. The pin length can be adjusted as needed.
Ordering Codes
The ordering code for the RIGIDIAL system is an alphanumeric combination specifying size, number of stations, index period, version, mounting position, input shaft type, and output hub type. For reduction gears, the code includes model, ratio, mounting position, worm shaft extension, and torque limiter. For self-braking motors, the code specifies size, power, number of poles, voltage, and frequency. An example code is provided for a specific configuration of the RIGIDIAL indexing table, reduction gear, and self-braking motor.

Colombo Filippetti - Globoidal cam indexing tables RIGIDIAL-3

Continuous camshaft rotation which is used in fast applications when the machine cycle is carried out in one revolution of the main shaft. Each single work operation is synchronised within a particular sector of main shaft rotation. This type of operation is indicated for machines whose motions are actuated only by mechanical drives. 2. Operation By electrical control which is used in all applications when a long dwell time is required owing to the length of the production times necessary. By this means of operation, stopping is controlled by a microcam mounted on the table input shaft. This...

3. Danger areas Since this is a positive-action device, a tool plate with tools mounted on the table moves only within its area. Its motion may be halted only by switching off the driving motor or following break-downs in parts of the drive. The torque limiter is solely to protect the mechanism and not persons. Therefore, the danger area should not be accessed whilst the device is in operation. For maintenance operations, the motor must be switched off before crossing into the danger area.

6. Mounting instructions 7. Using the self-braking motor RIGIDIAL indexing tables can be mounted in any position. When mounting, the shafts of the device or plate should not be submitted to higher torque than prescribed. Mount the units in such a way that they are anchored rigidly to the base. Set the position using two pins. The thread of the anchor screws should be treated with anaerobic material to prevent easy unscrewing. Check the presence of lubricant: appropriate labels are affixed on RIGIDIAL tables to indicate when filling was effected. When mounted, check the position at which the limit...

9. Commissioning All RIGIDIAL tables are supplied with Long-Life lubrication on delivery, and are therefore ready to go into operation. The lubricant used is ISO VG 150 mineral oil. The type and presence of lubricant in the box is in any case indicated by means of a yellow label glued to it. The torque limiter is calibrated despatch. It may be set for the application advised or to the maximum permitted for the assembly, if application advice, is lacking. 10. Maintenance RIGIDIAL indexing tables have no special requirements with regard to maintenance, but they must be inspected regularly for leakage...
