This pressure value can be read us- ing an analog or digital pressure sensor which can then be tied into a PLC or control system. Patent pending. New Rotary Product Line —Forkardt Forkardt is now offering rotary tables, indexers and trunnion products. “These solutions offer increased pro- ductivity with innovative capabilities and features. The advanced technol- ogy can accommodate all standard tooling without an adapter, improving accuracy and repeatability. The robust spindle design can also handle multiple part set-ups and heavy loads with ease, which improves output rates. Preci- sion gear sets consist of an aluminum bronze gear and a hardened and ground steel worm for longer life and load car- rying ability. A fast clamp and release system on most models increases ef- ficiency while maintaining rigidity,” said a company spokesperson. The systems are designed with increased spindle clearance and better tool accessibility. They also have op- tions for travel limits to reduce the risk of damaging parts and tooling. Diag- nostic capabilities have been expanded to allow for faster troubleshooting and part program debugging.
