Abstract
A modularly expandable integrated process machine system incorporating a rotary indexing mechanism therefor. The machine system is made up of a support platform with predefined work station positions which each have the same dimension tool mounting configuration. Pallets are advanced between workstations by an endless chain incremented by a precision rotary indexing mechanism capable of precise end-of-movement positioning and variable force advancing.
