Indexing Machine


To address one of the most common demands in small parts assembly, Jewett Automation has created the Rotary Assembly Chassis (RAC). This system links three fundamental elements together to provide a flexible solution for indexing assembly:

  • A rotary indexer provides fixture/part transport
  • A translating indexer provides reciprocating motion for the Central Head
  • The Central Tooling Head creates the vertical and horizontal motions for the synchronized pick and place devices
