In high-precision manufacturing environments, efficiency often comes down to how seamlessly you can move parts through each process step. At Sankyo Automation, our indexing technology is designed to optimize workflows, increase throughput, and deliver unmatched reliability. A great example of this is our special-order 2.5-stop Indexing Dial, built to meet unique application requirements.

Unique 2.5-Stop Design

Unlike traditional indexing drives, this model advances the dial every 144°, creating a distinctive arrangement of workstations:

• Loading

• Station 4

• Station 2

• Unloading

• Station 3

This unusual yet highly functional sequence gives manufacturers the ability to configure their line in a way that maximizes productivity and reduces unnecessary handling.

Key Benefits

The biggest advantage of the 2.5-stop indexing dial lies in its tight integration of workstations. By separating the loading and unloading stations, operators can streamline part flow, reduce congestion, and improve ergonomics on the production floor. This configuration is particularly valuable for automated systems where smooth part transfer is critical.

Built for Flexibility

The 2.5-stop model is available with:

• Indexing Drive – for precise, repeatable motion control

• Oscillating Handler – to support applications requiring coordinated movement

This combination gives integrators and machine builders the flexibility to design innovative systems that meet complex automation challenges.
