Rotary table

A rotary table is a rotating platform or device that is used to rotate or swivel objects around a fixed axis. The rotary table can have different shapes and sizes, depending on the specific application and requirements.

Rotary tables are used in various industries and sectors, including mechanical engineering, manufacturing, automation, photography, catering and many others. They allow objects to be precisely positioned, rotated or swiveled to perform various tasks.

In manufacturing, for example, rotary tables are often used in conjunction with processing machines. They enable workpieces to be brought into the correct position in order to carry out machining operations such as milling, drilling, grinding or assembly. Rotary tables can also be used in assembly to place components at certain angles or positions.

In photography and videography, rotary tables are used to precisely position and pan objects or cameras. This allows 360-degree shots or product photos to be taken from different angles, for example.

Depending on the application, rotary tables can be operated manually or motorized. Motorized rotary tables can be controlled via controllers to enable the desired rotation speed, direction and positioning.

Overall, a rotary table enables the precise rotation or swivel movement of objects and is used in a variety of areas where accurate positioning and movement is required.
