The Indexing Table That Overshot Every Cycle We used a pneumatic rotary index table to position parts between assembly stations. The table indexed 90° (4 stations). On the bench, it stopped accurately. On the floor, it overshot — the table kept rotating past the 90° stop. The reason: the table’s rotational inertia (the table plus …
