Firstly, it is necessary to clarify the load weight that the platform needs to bear, including the workpieces, fixtures, and potential dynamic loads on the platform. Different models of cam indexing gearboxes have different load capacities, and it is necessary to ensure that the selected model can safely and stably carry the expected load. Generally, a certain safety factor should be considered, such as 1.2-1.5 times the actual load.

Requirements for motion accuracy
Select based on the requirements of the production process for the rotation accuracy of the turntable. In fields such as precision machining and electronic chip manufacturing, a rotating platform with angular indexing accuracy of several seconds or even higher may be required; For some general scenarios such as material handling and assembly, the accuracy requirements are relatively low, so choosing a model that meets the basic positioning accuracy is sufficient.
Speed and beat
Calculate the required rotational speed of the rotating platform based on the production cycle. If the production process requires fast material turnover or high-speed processing operations, it is necessary to choose a cam type rotating platform that can meet the corresponding speed requirements. At the same time, attention should be paid to the stability and reliability of the platform during high-speed operation, to avoid problems such as vibration and increased wear caused by high speed.
Installation and spatial layout
Consider the installation method and space size limitations of the transfer platform. Common installation methods include desktop, flange, etc. The appropriate installation form should be selected based on the overall structure and installation position of the equipment. In addition, it is necessary to ensure that the external dimensions and installation dimensions of the transfer platform match the surrounding equipment and workspace, in order to avoid situations where installation cannot be accommodated or the space is too tight, which may affect maintenance operations.
environment condition
Factors such as temperature, humidity, dust, and corrosiveness in the production environment can also affect the selection of the transfer platform. In environments with high temperature, high humidity, or dust, it is necessary to choose a transfer platform with corresponding protection levels, such as sealed structures, anti-corrosion coatings, etc; In places with explosion-proof requirements, explosion-proof cam type rotating platforms should be selected.
Cost and cost-effectiveness
Taking into account procurement costs, operating costs, and maintenance costs while meeting production needs. The prices of different brands and models for platform transfer vary greatly, and it is necessary to choose products with high cost-effectiveness based on the budget and long-term benefits of the enterprise. At the same time, factors such as the service life of the equipment and the cost of replacing vulnerable parts should be considered.
