Recommendation

  • Use the rotary table for handling, then move parts into a separate dwell buffer.
  • Compare a linear buffer or multi-slot carousel before committing to one large table.
  • For flexibility, start with servo indexing and validate torque after mass/inertia are known.

Risk notes

  • The dwell time needs more waiting positions than this table has.
  • A pure rotary layout may become too large for long exposure or curing time.
