An attempt has been made to design and analyze Indexing Head a very important component in milling operation under sustainability considerations. The design of each component of indexing head is presented along with solid modeling and finite element analysis. The cost estimation for indexing head for milling operation is also presented. The design and finite element analysis of indexing head should be utilized by manufacturers of this very useful device in milling operation. It is used for cutting gears, spirals, splines, etc. The cost estimated of the manufactured indexing head shows it to be within reasonable limits of market. Finite element analysis of each component is safe. An electronic indexing is suggested as an improvement over the mechanical indexing head. A schematic of electronic indexing is presented. The electronic indexing head can be used with milling machine not provided with indexing head and will be portable. The minimum energy needed to manufacture the indexing head is also estimated.
