Automatic Pipe Indexer

Slotting Machine for PVC Pipe

The indexer has 3 primary functions

1.  Clamp and hold pipe by the use of an expandable ID pipe holders located on the 1 1/4″ indexer shaft.
2.  Turn pipe and accurately stop on the preset amount of rows to be cut on the pipe’s OD circumference.
3.  Move pipe forward through machine to the next segment of slots to be cut.

The automatic pipe indexer is equipped with two high torque closed loop stepper gear motors.  One of the stepper motor systems will
perform the operation of indexing the accurately for each row of slots and the other will move the indexer, pushing the pipe through the
machine for each segment of slots (indexer travel system)

ID Pipe Holders

The pipe is held securely by the expandable ID pipe holder which is mounted to the 1 1/4″ indexer drive shaft.

Touch Screen Programming

Touch Screen

The touch screen is located on the electrical box above the indexer.  On each screen, detailed instructions are listed to assist you in the operation of the slotting machine. The pipe indexing and indexer travel distance will be monitored and set with a Panasonic GT touch screen.  The touch screen will be used to set the amount of rows to be slotted, display the active row, set and display the travel distance per segment of slots, display cycle time for each screen, and have manual operation buttons to test each system and speed setting for both the indexer and travel system.
