A direct drive motor integrated with a high-precision gear, absolute encoder and built-in brake combined with a robust mechanical platform. The TW sets new standards in the compact rotary table-area in the following characteristics: dynamic, precision, user programmable and ease of use, power density and the precise and robust WEISS mechanics. These products are designed to greatly outperform any pneumatic indexing solutions available. Additional user benefits: Comparable in cost to pneumatic solutions, a clear cost advantage is developed through enhancement in productivity, lower operating cost and reduced maintenance cost.
