FIBROTAKT®
PRECISION ROTARY TABLES WITH HIRTH FACE GEARING
In 1962, FIBRO launched the world’s first indexing table with face gear for the international market: the FIBROTAKT. It was developed for high-precision indexing and is able to withstand high machining loads. A locking mechanism in the FIBROTAKT’s face gear ensures high precision and rigidity over the long term. A range of designs and drive types makes it possible to find the perfect solution for any application. The FIBROTAKT built-in indexing table for rotary transfer machines combines the shortest possible cycle times – even with heavy setups – with maximum precision and rigidity.

FIBROTAKT® MOUNTING
ROTARY TABLES
FIBROTAKT® Flush-Mount Tables were developed for use on rotary transfer machines. The concept derives from the well-tried FIBROTAKT®-series and is based on the principle of combining indexing and locking in a non-lifting system of face gear rings.
Besides many other special advantages, FIBROTAKT® Flush-Mount Tables offer the following benefits:
- housing of uninterrupted round shape, without peripheral protrusions. Underslung drive train. Simple mounting into plain round aperture
- great rigidity, by virtue of locking into face gear rings of largest possible diameter
- high indexing accuracy up to ± 1″
- very fast indexing – even with heavy table loads (also refer to Techn. Data)

- constant monitoring of actual angular table position via rotary resolver – no need for zero-datum reference approach
- Version with both horizontal and vertical indexing table
- a thoroughly tried technology ensures highest service reliability.
ADDITIONAL OPTIONS
FOR ALL FIBROTAKT®
DRIVE TYPES
PNEUMATIC DRIVE
- Used in the case of small and medium transportation loads, short indexing times and a high indexing frequency
HYDRAULIC DRIVE
- Used in the case of high transportation loads, short indexing times and a high indexing frequency
- Used in applications that require shortest indexing times, and small or random indexing steps. Here, each index position can be adjusted in any order within the number of teeth.
LIFTING/NON-LIFTING TABLE TOP
- Used in the case of small and medium transportation loads, short indexing times and a high indexing frequency
NON-LIFTING TABLE TOP
- During positioning, the table top lifts only minimally, less than 0.1 mm, from the housing.
- Used when large masses must be moved or there is not sufficient space available for the lifting stroke.
- Built-in rotary table version
FIBROTAKT®
TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS
- Can be operated hydraulically, pneumatically and electrically
- Extremely rigid, as there are no bearings engaged during machining
- Extremely long service life with increasing precision
