The combination of robust construction and our innovative drive design allow for WEISS to offer a truly maintenance free solution. All of our index tables and index rings are shipped filled with oil and sealed for life. Each table is specified with a 25 year life expectancy or more at the given application specifications.
The WEISS Rotary Index Table Advantage
The robust mechanical design of the WEISS index table eliminates the need for an output overload clutch. We are the only index table company that does not offer an overload clutch due to our innovative design. Our tables are designed to withstand an unlimited amount of e-stop and jam occurrences. This is accomplished by not sizing a motor that is more powerful than the table’s extremely robust internal mechanical components. If a jam or e-stop occurs then the motor will stall before any mechanical components can fail. You simply release the brake on the motor and index to the next position after a jam or e-stop condition.
Output overloads or “overload clutches” have been used for decades to protect the internal mechanics of a rotary index table. Most index tables become vulnerable when a manufacturer specifies a motor that is more powerful than the internal cam followers, cam, and bearings can support. A larger horsepower motor usually requires the use of an external gear box or reducer. The utilization of these mechanical boxes introduces increased maintenance and a larger overall footprint of the table.
Innovative Design Ensures Proper Table Sizing
WEISS calculates your total inertia load and uses it to select the correct size index table based on proven, pre-engineered “speed corresponding inertia loads it can accommodate. Each speed step has been proven for that specific inertia load on each index table we sell. The AC Motors that we use are lower horsepower than would be typical with other similar size index tables. We are able to use a lower horsepower motor because of an internal gear reduction between the input shaft and the barrel cam. This internal gear reduction is a standard on all of our index tables and eliminates the need for any external gear reduction. This is a benefit from a performance as well as a maintenance perspective.
The advantage of the WEISS design provides a cost savings to the equipment builder and a superior warranty to the final user of the machine. Weiss is the only index table manufacturer to offer a standard four year warranty on all of our index tables and index rings. This proven design has been incorporated into our rotary tables for the past ten years. WEISS has continued to offer the most innovative designs over our 50 year history. These innovations have helped to create new, cutting edge solutions to the automation industry.
Open Center Technology
Our index rings provide a large open center to provide maximum use of components like robots and presses from the inside. This reduces the overall footprint of your machine with improved accuracy and access to your parts. As always, the TR and NR series index rings offer a four year warranty and a lifetime of maintenance free operation.
Low Profile Design
The TC series index tables offer a very compact, low profile design. Our motor and belt and pulley housing are always a smaller profile than the table’s main casting. This feature allows a designer to avoid costly cut outs in their machine base plate due to oversized motors and gear reducers. All of our tables and rings also offer accurate dowel holes on all mounting surfaces. This includes the main casting for mounting to your machine base, rotating dial plate for easy mounting of your tool plate, and on our standard, center stationary plate on all models. You just transfer our mounting hole pattern to your tool plate drawing and no adjustment or reaming of dowel holes is necessary at assembly.
Superior Service and Support
With over 500 index tables in stock, we are positioned to offer some of the best deliveries in the industry. Globally we have doubled our manufacturing capacity over the last twelve months to meet industry demand for our products. We are committed to quoting quickly, excellent delivery times, and the best customer service in the industry.
WEISS also offers custom tool plate and base design and manufacturing from our Willoughby, OH location. Our industry partners understand the Weiss Advantage and realize the value of our products, service, and support. Whatever your assembly challenges, WEISS can provide you with inspiring solutions that will bring a new level of innovation to your designs.

RELIABLE SINCE 1967
Dieter Weiss founded WEISS KG in Neckarweihingen near Ludwigsburg, Germany in 1967. Right from the outset he was determined to go his own way.
His motto was not to follow the crowd and produce a similar product, but to be a step ahead with a new one.
FREELY PROGRAMMABLE INDEXERS
The new products from WEISS are characterized by a whole new machine concept and design approach, allowing flexible use. All components are freely programmable and represent sound solutions for re-engineering. And commissioning costs are also kept to a minimum through use of an end-to-end control software (WAS) with uniform user interface.
FIXED-STATION INDEXERS
For 50 years, WEISS has been consistently striving for rotary table solutions that are both robust and reliable - with the TC / TR we have succeeded.
LINEAR SYSTEM
The advantages of the LS280 and its extremely high productivity result from a completely new, elegant operating principle. It combines a rotary indexing table with a transfer system, i.e. a cam drive and belt system. This leads to a radical reduction of transport times and absolutely jerk-free and jolt-free motion sequences - at up to 60 cycles/minute.
HANDLING SYSTEMS
The operating principle of WEISS handling components is based on an electronic direct drive or electromechanical drive. These contemporary concepts represent dynamic performance, reliability and energy efficiency.
SOFTWARE
A highly intuitive and uniform graphic user interface used throughout all freely programmable WEISS products. For faster set-up and smooth operation: WEISS Application Software (W.A.S.).
CUSTOMER-SPECIFIC SOLUTIONS
Through our modular manufacturing concept, we can offer you individual solutions with guaranteed quality, optimum fit and the shortest delivery time.
