Rotatory Tables and Carousels
Maximum Flexibility for Rapidly Rotating Components
Adaptive and Simplified Design Enabled by Efficient Wireless Connectivity
Easily add connectivity to rapidly rotating devices on rotary tables and carousels, with an industrial-grade wireless, real-time communication solution. With no need for unnecessary cables or slip rings, you can add sensors (e.g. load cell, volumetric sensor) and actuators (e.g. valve, servo motor, gripper) on dynamically rotating machine components such as rotary tables and carousels. Products are processed in the most flexible manner while in constant motion, without manual changeovers, while reducing maintenance and deployment efforts.
Wireless Benefits for Rotary Tables and Carousels
Changeover reduction, multiple product & package designs, simplified deployment & maintenance
Increased Capacity
Maintenance Reduction
Mass Customization
Simple Retrofit
"CoreTigo’s IO-Link Wireless technology proved to be the only solution on the market able to comply with Siboni’s high standards - providing new capabilities for servo motors, with no tradeoffs.”

How Does it Work
Simple and Flexible
CoreTigo’s solution provides real-time wireless connectivity for multiple sensors and actuators on rotary tables and carousels while in constant motion.
Sensors and Actuators on-board the rotating equipment are connected wirelessly with one of the following:
- TigoBridge – Connects directly and seamlessly with no integration efforts to a sensor or actuator, turning them into an IO-Link Wireless device.
- TigoHub – Multiple sensors and actuators can be connected to CoreTigo’s TigoHub. Converts between 4 to 6 digital, analog, or IO-Link devices to IO-Link Wireless in parallel.
- Embedded Modules – Enable an integrated IO-Link Wireless device design without the need for external adapters.
The TigoMaster, IO-Link Wireless Master, communicates the device data and control in real-time to and from the automation PLC. The Master supports a variety of Industrial Ethernet protocols (such as Ethernet/IP, EtherCAT, Profinet or OPC-UA) and can send monitoring data to an IIoT platform or any other application. The Master enables complete flexibility and ease of deployment as there are no communication cables required between the Master and the rotating devices on the carousels and rotary tables.
With this solution, products can be processed while in constant motion in an agile and flexible manner. Changeover and tooling setup time is minimized, enabling a single machine to handle a broad range of product types and reducing the cost and time to market of applying new types and designs. Machine footprint and maintenance overhead are reduced due to the reduction of cables, chains, belts and mechanical components. Device connectivity practically anywhere also enables condition-monitoring capabilities and predictive maintenance.
