Applications
Catalogue's own list, nothing added: CNC machines, spring machines, woodworking machines, printing and paper, food packaging, robotic arms. Suitability for a specific environment (clean, wet, dusty, food) is not claimed here — it goes in the inquiry.
Where the transmission parts sit
- ① Planetary gearbox at the axis drive — Reduces motor speed and multiplies torque for the axis; ratio and backlash are checked on the selection page.
- ② Gear rack along the long-travel bed — Converts pinion rotation into long linear travel; module, length and straight vs. helical must be stated in the inquiry.
- ③ Rotary table at the indexing station — Positions and holds the workpiece directly on the table; hollow centre carries wiring and piping. IP40 — do not assume suitability for a wet or food line.
All applications
CNC machines
Planetary gearboxes + DIN867 gear racks for long-travel axes; DSP Rotary Table for indexing variants.
Spring coiling machines
Planetary gearboxes + DSP Rotary Table lines, as listed in the catalogue.
Woodworking machines
Planetary gearboxes, including the economy straight line where ultra-low backlash is not the main requirement.
Printing and paper
Planetary gearboxes + DIN867 gear racks for long-travel print and paper lines.
Food packaging
Planetary gearboxes (IP65) for food-packaging axes. Rotary tables need a separate environment decision — see the limit below.
Robotic arms / automation
Helical planetary gearboxes for low backlash + DSP Rotary Table lines whose hollow centre carries wiring and piping.
Indexing / assembly / inspection
DSP Rotary Table lines: workpiece mounts directly on the table, hollow centre for wiring and piping.
Fixtures and light assembly
Smaller DLS / DS rotary tables for fixtures and light assembly stations.
Gantry and long travel
DIN867 gear racks + planetary gearboxes as one long-travel axis.
IP65 vs IP40 guide
IP65 is the planetary gearbox rating. IP40 is the DSP Rotary Table rating. They are not interchangeable, and neither rating is claimed for gear racks on this site.
Do not assume a rotary table suits a wet, dusty, or food environment. Food-packaging lines in particular need a written supplier answer before any rotary table is specified. Put the environment in the inquiry and wait for that answer.
