There are many process and manufacturing operations that consist of multiple steps. In many cases the process is linear like a progressive punch press or an auto assembly line. But just as often it’s circular, like a bottle lling line or a CNC tool holder. For circular applications the use of rotary tables are often incorporated. In its standard form a rotary table is a at round plate mounted on an axial bearing, which is either driven from a central shaft from below or by a pinion driving a bull gear mounted around the outside of the table. Or sometimes a cam is included so continuous rotary motion results in a variable output motion prole. For a better visual think C.S.I. when the technician drops the sample tube into a slot and the table rotates around to the testing device. These ro
