Abstract

This research describes a multi-purpose indexer design that enables precise positioning and indexing of workpieces for machining operations on both horizontal and vertical axes. The design leverages the versatility of multi-purpose indexers to accommodate various workpiece sizes, shapes, and weights, eliminating the need for dedicated machines for each orientation. This translates to space and cost savings in manufacturing environments. The indexer can be integrated into automated production lines or used as a standalone unit, providing flexibility in production setups. By automating workpiece positioning and indexing, the design minimizes human error, improves machining precision. This automation also enhances workflow efficiency by reducing setup times and increasing overall productivity. Safety is also prioritized with reduced manual handling risks. The multi-purpose indexer design contributes to improved product quality, reduced production costs, and a competitive advantage in modern manufacturing.
