When it comes to rotary indexing solutions, we offer three options: the EZ Series, the MS Series, and the AR Series Indexers. Understanding their unique features and capabilities can help you make an informed decision for your specific needs. We’ll compare the EZ Series and MS Series Indexers, allowing you to choose the right solution for seamless rotary indexing operations.

  1. EZ Series Indexer: The High-Precision Solution for Seamless Integration

The EZ Series Indexer is a high-precision servo indexer designed for integration with your existing PLC control system. It offers easy installation, handles various loads, and comes with customizable options. With near-zero backlash gearing and a user-friendly control package, the EZ Series Indexer delivers superior accuracy and effortless operation. Whether you’re seeking seamless PLC control system integration, precise load handling, or customization options like brake motors, secondary gear sets, custom dial plates, and machine bases, the EZ Series Indexer is your ideal solution.

  1. MS Series Indexer: Independent Operation and Plug-and-Play Flexibility at Your Fingertips

Unlike the EZ Series, the MS Series Indexer operates independently of an external PLC control system. It provides highly flexible servo indexing and allows seamless setup through the included HMI. With a wide range of sizes, brake motor options, and customizable features, the MS Series Indexer offers exceptional precision and independent control over your indexing applications. Whether you require high load handling capacity, advanced servo control options, or customization features like brake motors, secondary gear sets, custom dial plates, and machine bases, the MS Series Indexer has you covered.

  1. AR Series Indexer: The Same High Precision with Your Specific Servo Motor

The AR Servo Index Drives from Centricity Automation is engineered for high-precision positioning and smooth, repeatable motion control in demanding environments. These units deliver exceptional torque multiplication and accurate indexing performance for rotary applications. This configuration uses your motor, giving you the flexibility to integrate your preferred servo motor for seamless compatibility with your existing control platform. Centricity will install your provided motor. The AR design ensures continuous, smooth rotation with precise indexing capability—ideal for assembly, inspection, packaging, and material handling systems.

 

Comparing Key Features and Benefits

  • Integration: The EZ Series Indexer seamlessly integrates with your existing PLC control system, while the MS Series operates independently, and the AR Series uses your preferred servo motor and requires complete customer integration.
  • Load Handling: All three Series Indexers handle loads from grams to hundreds of pounds.
  • Control Options: The EZ Series offers integration via ethernet communications, while the MS Series provides a highly flexible Drive/Control Package with touch screen pendant and M-Series software.  EZ and MS Series include Yaskawa servo motors, drives, and cables.
  • Backlash Gearing: All three Series Indexers incorporate near-zero backlash gearing for high inertia applications, providing superior accuracy.
  • Customization: Both the EZ and MS Series Indexers offer option for voltage and brake motors.  All three Series Indexers can be engineered with custom dial plates, and machine bases for enhanced functionality.

Choose the Perfect Rotary Indexing Solution for Your Applications

 Choosing the right rotary indexing solution depends on your specific requirements. If you have an existing PLC control system and prioritize seamless integration, precise load handling, and customization options, the EZ Series Indexer is an excellent choice. On the other hand, if you seek independent operation, flexibility, high load handling capacity, and advanced servo control options, the MS Series Indexer offers the features and control capabilities you need. And finally if you have a motor platform that you want to adhere to and prefer to do the integration, then the AR Series is your best choice. Assess your load requirements, control preferences, and customization needs to select the ideal solution for your rotary indexing applications.
