ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for performing a series of operations upon a workpiece that include at least one modular mechanical unit having a worktable for supporting workpieces thereon. The worktable is periodically indexed by a Geneva wheel so that a workpiece on the worktable is intermittently moved through a plurality of work stations positioned about the worktable. A gear drive unit is employed to power the Geneva wheel as well as a movable tool support unit mounted in each of the work stations to move a tool mounted upon said support into and out of contact with a workpiece moved by the worktable into the work station. A number of modular units can be cojoined and arranged to be driven from a common prime mover.
