The GOIZPER ICS2 is a dedicated control system for cam-driven rotary indexing tables in automated assembly, packaging, and manufacturing lines. It manages the indexing sequence — controlling dwell time, rotation speed, and positioning of the PGC series compact indexing tables — to ensure precise, repeatable intermittent motion at each station of a rotary transfer machine.

What role does the controller play in a rotary indexing application?

In a cam-driven rotary indexer, the mechanical cam profile determines the motion law (acceleration, velocity, and dwell ratio), but the controller governs when and how the indexer executes each cycle. The ICS2 synchronizes the indexer's movement with upstream feeding and downstream processing stations, ensuring that parts arrive at each work station with accurate positioning and adequate dwell time for operations such as pressing, staking, welding, or inspection. It interfaces with the machine's main PLC and safety circuits to coordinate start, stop, and emergency-stop sequences, making it the electrical bridge between the mechanical indexer and the broader automation cell.
