Rotary Tables and Turntables: Safe and Maintenance-Free Wireless Control for Rotating Equipment
R3 Solutions provides the wireless technology that transmits control and safety signals contactlessly to rotating plant components. No slip rings, no wear, and no associated downtime.

Overview
Rotating system components present a unique challenge in automation. Rotary tables, turntables, and similar components rotate continuously or in cycles, and this is precisely what makes fixed cabling impossible: a cable would twist and break.
The traditional solution to this problem is the slip ring. It transmits data via mechanical brushes and conductive rings that are in constant frictional contact. This contact wears out over time. The result is a need for regular maintenance, potential signal interference, and failures that halt production. A wireless control system transmits the same signals contactlessly, thereby circumventing the wear-and-tear problem. This is a decisive advantage, especially in applications where safety signals must be transmitted via the rotary axis in addition to control signals.
How R3 Solves the Challenges
R3 Solutions replaces the wear-prone mechanical transmission with a dedicated wireless connection that transmits control and safety signals contactlessly across the rotational axis. Reliable, deterministic, and without moving parts subject to wear.
Bridge E
For safety and control applications with real-time requirements and high synchronization.
- Determinism: Time-slot-based signal transmission, packet loss rate of 0.000000001 %.
- Real-time communication: Latencies of up to 2 milliseconds are possible.
- Safety-compliant: PROFIsafe, CIP Safety, and others are transmitted transparently.
- Proven in practice: Years of use by European and American OEMs.
