NEW: double trunnion positioning system by Motion Index Drives, Inc.

The Motion Index Drives DR-TR Series dual trunnion position system utilizes our high capacity zero backlash TMF rotary turntable for the 180° exchange which creates accuracies of 9 arc seconds and repeatability of 2-3 arc seconds. The unrivaled accuracy of the TMF indexer eliminates the need of Shot Pin/Wedge devices that are required from other manufacturers for high accuracy on their 3-axis (H Positioner) dual trunnion positioning systems. Utilizing MIDs TR Series servo gear head with high torque capacity, for the dual trunnion headstocks, allows for a 2 second 180° rotation on a load of up to 4000lbs per side and 3 meters between faceplates. The TR Series tailstock features a large 90mm through hole for customers to run utilities to their tooling and fixtures. The DR-TR Series dual trunnion positioning system is constructed with strength and reliability in mind. Robust design and components ensure this device will maintain precision in intense factory settings.
