WEISS Rotary Indexing Tables & Linear Transfer Systems
M6 Revolutions is the exclusive WEISS representative for Washington, Oregon, and Idaho.
WHAT THEY MAKE
Flagship Products
- TC rotary indexing tables → the fixed-cycle workhorses for multi-station assembly
- HP pick-and-place modules → fast, repeatable transfer between stations
- LS linear transfer systems → in-line cells where a dial won’t fit

WHERE IT FITS
Ideal Applications
When an assembly needs many stations in a small footprint, the machine that matters is not at any one station. It is the thing that moves the part between them and holds the takt.
TC rotary indexing tables are the fixed-cycle workhorses and the answer when the cycle never changes. NC indexers are freely programmable for when it does. TR rotary rings leave the centre open so equipment can sit inside the circle. LS linear transfer covers in-line cells where a dial will not fit.
HP pick-and-place modules handle the transfer between stations, so one platform covers both the indexing and the part movement rather than mixing vendors at the join.
Units are sized from 120 mm to 1,000 mm and up to 80,000 N axial force, with EF3 controls on the Gen5 platform. Tell us the stations and the cycle and we will spec the motion.

THE COST OF WAITING
What to put next to the equipment cost
The equipment quote is the easy half. These are the lines that usually go missing, and you are the only one who can fill them in:
Labor on the task. Hours per shift, at your fully loaded rate.
The rate ceiling. What the manual step caps your throughput at.
Scrap and rework. What manual variation costs you per thousand parts.
Changeover. Time lost every time the part changes.
The hiring problem. Turnover, training, and the weeks the job sits open.
Exposure. Repetitive lift, pinch points, and what one recordable costs you.
We will give you the equipment side early enough that it can sit in the same document.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Common questions
What areas do you support WEISS in?
M6 Revolutions is the exclusive WEISS representative for Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. If you're specifying WEISS motion in this territory, you're working with us.
Should I use a rotary dial or a linear transfer?
Rotary indexing when stations fit around a dial and the footprint is tight: the TC tables index inside ±12 arc-seconds and run for decades. Linear transfer (the LS series) when the line needs more stations than a dial can hold or in-line flow. Both run from one W.A.S. controller, so you're choosing the motion architecture and the controls stay the same either way.
Should I choose a fixed-cycle or a freely programmable indexer?
Fixed-cycle (TC) when the motion never changes: it's cheaper, faster, and nearly maintenance-free. Freely programmable (NC/TO) when station count, angles, or dwell times need to change with the product. WEISS's own line applies here: not every application needs high-end precision, but every application needs stability, dynamics, and cost-efficiency.
When does an index table beat a robot?
When the same short cycle repeats all day across multiple stations. A cam-driven table does that motion faster, cheaper, and more repeatably than an arm. We sell robots too, so when we say the table wins, it's the application talking.
