Abstract

A cam indexer includes a driving assembly, a driving plate, a multi-task dial, a latching assembly and a positioning assembly. The driving plate defines an arc-groove at the periphery thereof and a cam surface at the bottom of the arc-groove, the driving plate further includes a receiving end and a resisting end positioned at opposite ends of the cam surface. The multi-task dial defines four positioning grooves along the periphery thereof; the latching assembly is fixed to the driving plate and elastically engages in first one positioning groove, the positioning assembly elastically engages in a second one positioning groove. The latching assembly and the positioning assembly are adapted to detach from the positioning grooves when the driving plate is driven by the driving assembly, such that the cam indexer functions as a partitioning mechanism.
