Product and application details

HONEPAN's parallel cam indexer series includes model designations P50 through P320. The repeat positioning accuracy is 60 arcseconds, the indexing angle range is 90 to 360 degrees, and the number of stations is 1 to 16. The P series is designed for filling machine and automatic assembly line scenarios.

Other product families include the DF flange output series, DFH hollow flange, DS shaft output, DFS shaft and flange output, DT table output, DA ultra-thin table output, DB cylinder-type indexer, BT heavy-duty table output, and HBY cylindrical cam flange output unit.

The DFH hollow flange model uses materials including carbon steel, 42CrMo, SCM440, 4140, 4142, 40Cr, SCR440, 5140, 20CrMnTi, SNCM220, 8620, and 18CrMoV. The DB series uses 42CrMo, SCM440, 4140, and 4142 as core materials.


Cam indexers are applied in pharmaceutical and medical packaging machinery, including oral liquid filling machines, eye drops filling machines, capsule filling machines, syringe assembly machines, and glass bottle ink printing machines. In this scenario the product role is precise positioning and indexing, often requiring motors, reducers, induction cams, and induction switches. Some applications require explosion-proof and leak-proof characteristics.

This application pattern is common in Taiwan and numerous other countries and regions, according to the supplier's application records.


Company statement

In its corporate profile, HONEPAN states that “HONE PAN” is the registered trademark of its products. The company also says it adheres to the principle of honest operation, manufacturing products with high precision, high speed, and high durability.


Market impact

HONEPAN reports that export business accounts for approximately 30 percent of total sales, with major markets including India, the USA, Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Europe. Its products are used in automotive welding lines, CNC machine tools, pharmaceutical machinery, printing machinery, food packaging and filling machinery, tobacco machinery, electronic assembly and testing lines, and other automated equipment.


Analyst perspective

According to Future Market Insights, Sankyo Seisakusho held an estimated 22 percent share of the global rotary indexer market in 2025. Industry reports identify Asia-Pacific as the largest and fastest-growing region for rotary indexers, supported by automotive and electronics manufacturing investment. This context matters because Chinese manufacturers are competing not only on price but also on positioning accuracy, material consistency, and service response.


Outlook

For automation buyers, the practical value of a cam indexer supplier in China depends on matching product series to application speed, load, and station count. HONEPAN's 2026 position is supported by verified factory capacity and export coverage, but any sourcing decision should include direct technical review, sample testing, and inspection of the supplier's quality system.
