An indexing system for a die assembly for manufacturing a stack of laminae from sheet stock material in a punch press, the stack having a desired stack height and a skew angle, the stock material having a nominal thickness. The indexing system includes indexing means for producing a first indexing input movement in response to movement of the punch press, a motor for producing a second indexing input movement in response to a control signal, and differential means for combining the first and second indexing input movements into an indexing output movement and having first and second input means for respectively receiving the first and second indexing input movements. The first input means is coupled to the indexing means, and the second input means is coupled to the motor. The differential means also has output means for transmitting the indexing output movement; a rotatable choke barrel in which laminae are received and stacked. The choke barrel is rotationally coupled to the output means, and is rotated in accordance with the indexing output movement. Cyclical inertial loads imparted by the choke barrel are absorbed within the motor.
