Motion Control Turntables
Automotive Evaluation & Photography Platforms

Engineered for applications where reliability and structural precision are paramount. Shenyang Weizhong's Motion Control Turntables integrate two specialized product lines: the Automotive Evaluation Turntable and the Automotive Photography Turntable. Featuring a stopping accuracy of ≤±0.2° and a highly advantageous step-mode rotation system, these platforms deliver flawless performance for R&D reviews and automated 360° studio workflows.

Dual Master Applications

Automotive R&D Evaluation Turntable

Engineered specifically for automotive design centers and engineering labs. Capable of continuous and offset operations with arbitrary angle setting and zeroing functions. Integrated with PC communication (Modbus TCP / Modbus RTU), the proprietary Pin-Gear drive ensures vibration-free transit and locks into place with ≤±0.2° accuracy for seamless 3D scanning or styling reviews.

Automotive Photography Turntable

Optimize your commercial photography workflow with our absolute-zero positioning platform. The standout advantage lies in its automated step-mode—configurable to 5°, 10°, 20°, 30°, 45°, 90° angles. Paired with auto-restart timing and camera integration, it ensures perfectly synchronized, hands-free content creation.

Intelligent Hardware Architecture

Siemens PLC & Step-Mode Control

Command operations via the 10-inch touchscreen or iPad interface. Evaluation systems feature Siemens Smart200 PLC and G120 VFD hardware. For photography applications, the core advantage is the native support for step-mode intervals (5/10/20/30/45/90°).

Precision Structural Integrity

Engineered with a high-strength, modular steel framework. Each section is factory-calibrated to ensure perfect load distribution (4000-4500kg capacity) and structural alignment, providing a rock-solid foundation for smooth operation.

Steel frame and zero-position sensor

NORD POWERTRAIN & PIN-GEAR

Driven by a premium German NORD gear motor. Our Pin-Gear transmission replaces friction drives, guaranteeing zero slippage and maintaining low operating noise (≤45dB).

Technical FAQ

Q: How precise is the stopping angle for R&D evaluation?

A: By combining a robust Siemens PLC system with the Pin-Gear mechanism, operators can achieve a stopping accuracy of ≤±0.2°, making it ideal for highly sensitive 3D scanning and optical alignment tasks.

Q: How does the turntable integrate with photography equipment?

A: The Photography Turntable cabinet features a built-in automation relay interface. When the turntable reaches a pre-programmed step angle (e.g., 10° or 45°), it pauses and automatically triggers your connected camera(s) to take a photo before rotating to the next position.


Q: Does the platform return to absolute zero for consistency?

A: For Photography Turntables, a physical absolute zero-position sensor is integrated into the chassis for perfect repetition. For Evaluation Turntables, operators utilize a flexible arbitrary zeroing function via the touchscreen to set custom baselines on the fly.

Q: Are vibrations a concern during continuous rotation?

A: No. Unlike traditional friction drives, Weizhong's proprietary Pin-Gear transmission coupled with a German NORD gear motor and VFD control guarantees utterly smooth, judder-free movement.

Q: What are the foundation requirements for flush-mount installation?

A: We provide comprehensive civil engineering blueprints upon order. Typically, the installation requires a shallow circular concrete pit (310mm or 330mm depth depending on the specific model) to ensure the top plate sits flush with your studio floor.

Q: Can the platform support heavy Electric Vehicles (EVs) smoothly?

A: Absolutely. With a massive 4,000 to 4,500 kg dynamic load capacity, the heavy-duty structural frame effortlessly handles heavy EV battery packs without any motor strain.

Q: Can the PLC system integrate with our proprietary testing software?

A: Yes. The Evaluation Turntable is equipped with Modbus TCP or Modbus RTU PC communication capabilities, allowing for direct programmatic handshake protocols with central R&D testing software.

Q: What is the maintenance schedule for the Pin-Gear drive?

A: Unlike friction-drive systems, our heavy-duty Pin-Gear mechanism is highly durable. With basic annual lubrication, it boasts an extremely long continuous service life, keeping maintenance costs low.
