Genevas
A geneva mechanism is used to drive an indexing table intermittently.
It is possible to have various numbers of stations in a geneva indexing table setup, although the number cannot be less than three. More thant eight stations should be considered rae. Following figure describes the relationships between number of stations, dwell time, index time, and driver speed.
