Guidelines for drive control of indexing tables
The specified switching time must be reached for correct operation of the indexing table. The switching time is the time
required for the output flange to move from station to station (circuit) at a constant rated motor speed (50 Hz). The switching
time does not include any times for the motor movement in the dwell area, as well as the time for motor acceleration and
delay.

Dwell area
The motor must stop within the dwell area on braking. The stopping time must therefore be kept as short as possible.
