RSE-6-M (manual)

What is a manually driven rotary indexing table?

With a manually driven rotary indexing table, the plate with the workpiece attached to it is manually rotated by the production staff to the end position, where it automatically locks into place. This type of rotary indexing table therefore has no external electric or pneumatic drive.

After the workpiece has been machined in the locked position, the turntable is unlocked pneumatically (e.g. with a button via a 3/2 way valve).

The rotary indexing table plate is released again for the next rotation when it is unlocked. When the rotation continues, the work process starts again from the beginning.

There is also a PDF data sheet with technical drawing.

What divisions are there?

The RSE-6-M rotary indexing table locks automatically after rotation - depending on the division in a certain number of degrees:

degree / angle division
180° 2
120° 3
90° 4
60° 6
30° 12

Advantage: With one (!) conversion kit, the customer can change the pitch of the rotary indexing table. The conversion kit is available as an accessory and allows the user to create any of the above-mentioned pitches themselves by converting them (even at a later date).

Thus, the manually driven rotary indexing table can be used in other applications.

What directions of rotation are there?

The rotary indexing table can be ordered from the factory in a right or left rotation direction. The customer can change the direction of rotation later! A rotary indexing table purchased with a right rotation can therefore be converted to a left rotation direction. In contrast to the indexing conversion, no additional conversion kit is required for this.

Technical information – an overview

The manually driven Wagner rotary indexing table has a plate diameter of approx. 140 mm. The plate is made of galvanized steel and already has fits and threaded holes for holding the workpiece or the workpiece carrier.

The external dimensions are approximately 180x180x62 mm, the weight is approximately 5.8 kg. The attachment is made using the supplied centering rings ZR-9.

The built-in four-point bearing allows any installation position and absorbs high forces. This is interesting for dynamic loads (e.g. tilting moment 300Nm), but also for static loads (pressing the workpiece onto the table).

The housing is hard anodized and, like all Wagner handling modules, the choice of materials and construction are designed for durability. The usual cuboid shape of rotary indexing tables has been heavily rounded to avoid injuries during manual operation.

By inductive M8 sensor For hybrid applications, the end position can be queried on request.

The rotary indexing table has a fixed central hole. This can be used to mount a tripod, for example, in the customer's application.

What are the advantages of a manually driven rotary indexing table from Wagner?

A manual rotary indexing table is technically simple:

  • The handling is extremely simple – the operating staff sets the pace
  • No electrical drive technology needs to be provided
  • Since no drive is required, no safety technology, light barrier, two-hand operation, etc. is necessary
  • Without the need for two-handed operation, the operating time is automatically optimized
  • Since the drive's peripherals are eliminated, installation and control are very quick and cost-effective
  • The equipment is compact and can be used anywhere
  • The ability to change the direction of rotation and pitch offers maximum flexibility. The rotary indexing table can be used later in other applications - a long-lasting piece of equipment - with high investment protection.


Where is a manually driven rotary indexing table used?

The idea basically comes from the implementation of various customer requests, which are summarized here:

  • A rotary indexing table that supports “turning with a defined, exact end position” and securely locks it there for further processing.
  • A rotary indexing table whose rotation cycle is fully determined by the operator.
  • A rotary handling unit for selective workplaces where, for example, automation is only partially possible or sensible.
  • A compact rotary switch unit that can be easily dismantled, rebuilt and reused elsewhere (sustainability).

Possible applications of this Wagner handling unit are:

  • The transfer of workpieces to COBOTs
  • The equipment of hybrid workplaces - for example, manual processing with subsequent turning handover to a downstream automated
    measuring, processing or testing cell.
  • A classic way to make work easier, to turn heavy workpieces or to bring them into defined positions
  • As a manual assembly station with several stations
