The Calmotion USB 5C indexer system features a USB interface
that provides a fast and simple way to add a semi-4th axis to any
CNC or run as a stand alone indexer. Capable of running a single
program, the USB indexer executes indexed moves and sends
non-rotary data machine data via DNC. In DNC mode, the USB-
5C indexer automatically inserts and sends M function data to
the CNC eliminating the user from having to insert them in a
program and/or write custom print statements. This eliminates
the need to write and coordinate multiple programs between an
With almost unlimited memory, the complexity of sub-routines,
line repeat, sub-program calls, and nesting can be avoided. Even
with applications that do not need a rotary table, the USB indexer
is useful to load, save and DNC large programs to almost any
CNC with a serial port. Individual serial settings can be saved for
quick and easy connection to any number of machines.
A menu driven interface with function keys allows easy
operation for program entry and other control editing functions.
The 5C indexer can be programmed from the front panel to rotate
the spindle in either direction in step sizes from 0.001 to
999.999 . Step sizes of up to 30,000 can be executed if run off
of a file on a USB key. For production applications, a single
button repeat feature is available to increase throughput.
The Calmotion 5C head is built from top-quality components and
has been engineered to provide robust operation without
sacrificing accuracy. The gear set uses throated helix gears for
greater contact area to reduce gear wear and absorb shock loads
which in turn helps maximize gear life and maintain accuracy
over a longer period of time. A dual adjustment design provides
optimal gear mesh to further enhance the performance and
accuracy of the gear set. AC brushless motors used in the 5C
eliminate maintenance associated with brush replacement.
