While an emergency stop can occur during any part of the index motion, computer analysis is required to determine the point at which an emergency stop will put the least stress on cams and other components. IMC engineers will, on request, evaluate stresses and maximum expected stop times for specific applications. We recommend certain types of drive packages and clutch brakes for applications with emergency stop requirements. Consult your IMC sales representative or application engineer for more details.
