ABSTRACT:
A drive module of a machine having a turret adjacent the upper end and a motor adjacent the lower end. The turret is driven by the motor to move between different stations of the machine by the controlled rotation of the turret about an axis of rotation. The motor includes an upwardly directed output shaft which is in generally axial alignment with the axis of rotation of the turret. An outer housing is disposed between the turret and motor, and the output shaft of the motor is connected to an inner housing disposed for rotation within the outer housing. An elongate shaft extends axially through the inner housing and is connected with the turret to transmit movement of the shaft to the turret. A force transmitting member is connected to the inner housing and to the elongate shaft for transmitting rotational movement of the inner housing to the elongate shaft, and for permitting axial movement of the elongate shaft relative to the force transmitting member and the inner housing. The module includes connection means for attachment to a horizontal frame member of the machine.
