The indexing plate is a commonly used mechanical device used to accurately divide rotating workpieces on CNC machine tools. Here is how to use the CNC indexing plate:

1. Preparation:

Make sure the table on the machine and indexing table are firmly fixed and stable.

Clean and prepare the workpiece for segmentation.

Install a suitable cutting tool, such as a knife or cutting insert.

2. Determine the amount of split:

Select the appropriate indexing plate according to the required scale and angle.

A dial is a round metal product with a series of equally spaced holes or graduations cut into it, used to locate and lock workpieces.

3. Positioning the workpiece:

Place the workpiece on the machine tool's table and secure it with a fixture or clamping device.

Depending on the required split point, use an appropriate method to position the workpiece on the indexing plate.

The appropriate fixture or positioning device can be selected according to the size and shape of the workpiece.

4. Lock the split point:

Using an appropriate tool, such as a handle or a rotary knob, rotate the indexing disc to the desired division point.

Depending on the design of the indexing disk, the desired division point can be found on the scale line or achieved by turning a bolt or handle on the indexing disk.

5. Segmentation:

When the workpiece is at the desired dividing point, fix the workpiece and the dividing plate to ensure the accuracy of the dividing.

Using a suitable cutting tool, such as a knife or cutting blade, the workpiece is cut.

The workpiece and indexing disc can be rotated manually or automatically to perform continuous segmentation as required.

6. Complete the segmentation:

After all required divisions have been completed, the rotation of the workpiece is stopped.

Check the split points for precision and accuracy.

As required, other machine tool operations can be used to complete the workpiece, such as milling, drilling or grinding.

Please note that when using the indexing plate, relevant safety operating procedures should be followed to ensure the safety of the operator. Before using the indexing plate, it is best to read and follow the indexing plate's operating manual and the machine tool's operating instructions.
