SECTION 1: General Information
Industrial Motion Control (IMC) Index Drives are engineered and manufactured to very high tolerances
which necessitate careful inspection and maintenance.
Some users of indexing drives have the facilities and trained personnel to accomplish service repair. You
must determine the extent to which intricate servicing should be done in your own facility. When in doubt,
IMC recommends that IMC trained servicemen make the repairs.
1.1. Warranty - Products are warranted as follows:
1.1.1. Our products are warranted for one (1) year from the date of shipment to be free
from defects in workmanship and materials. The foregoing warranty is exclusive
and in lieu of all other warranties, whether written or orally expressed or implied
and there are no warranties of merchantability or fitness for particular use.
1.1.2. Our obligation under the foregoing is limited to replace free of charge, including the
lowest transportation cost, but not including installation or any other charges, any
part that our inspection shows to be defective provided that the part was properly
installed, suitably maintained and not subject to misuse or abuse, and further
provided that the defective parts are returned to our plant within one (1) year after
delivery by us. Written permission for such return must first be obtained from IMC.
A complete explanation is required of the alleged defects and circumstances.
1.2. Safety – Read and follow all Warnings and Cautions prior to any service or repair.
1.2.1. Roller Gear Drives should not be started and stopped at high speed during the
transfer phase of the cam. This can cause serious damage to the Indexer and
reduce the cam follower life. For cycling during setup of jog mode, speed must
be reduced to 25% of the normal operating speed. The use of an E-stop for
purposes other than emergencies is not recommended. A cycle stop button should
be incorporated into the system controls. Please consult Industrial Motion Control’s
Wheeling factory for additional information.
1.2.2. Always disconnect power and lockout the source before working on these units.
1.2.3. All input and output connections should be backlash free. Use friction lock type
shaft couplings such as taper lock bushings, split and clamped hubs, etc., in the
input and output drive train. There should be no loose keys, set screws, etc.
