WHAT THEY MAKE
Holds takt time with many stations in a small footprint
- TC150T / TC220T / TC320T rotary indexing tables → the fixed-cycle workhorses for multi-station assembly
- NC150T / NC220T / NC320T indexers → freely programmable when the cycle has to change
- 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
How to tell whether it fits your project
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 and the heavy-duty CR 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.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Answers before you ask for a quote
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.
Can I get CAD of a WEISS table or transfer system?
Yes. WEISS builds the model in its CAD configurator, which needs a free account, and the product pages link the same data. Send us the size and the cycle you need and we will get you the model.
