The WEISS rotator is a precision rotary table used in industrial automation, which increases the efficiency, reliability and accuracy of production lines. Check why it is an irreplaceable solution in a modern production plant.
1. Introduction
What is a WEISS rotator?
A WEISS rotator is a special mechanical device classified as a rotary table. It is used in industrial automation as part of advanced positioning systems. Its main task is to precisely position elements in a rotary motion, which allows for the automation of production lines.
Manufactured by the renowned German company WEISS GmbH, the rotator is a key component in assembly lines, assembly systems, indexing stations, CNC machines and automated production stations.
2. Key advantages and benefits
Choosing a WEISS rotator is a decision that translates into real time savings, improved precision and increased reliability of the production process. WEISS, as one of the leaders in the automation industry, provides solutions that are the result of many years of research, innovation and experience in cooperation with the largest manufacturers in the world.
Positioning precision
The WEISS rotator enables precise positioning with an accuracy of up to ±0.01 mm, which is crucial in industries requiring precise assembly, such as electronics, optics or medicine. Precise movement control eliminates errors and minimizes production waste.
Cycle speed and repeatability
Thanks to the optimized mechanical design and modern drives (e.g. servo and linear drive), WEISS rotators offer very short indexing times while maintaining cycle repeatability. This means higher line efficiency and a faster return on investment.
Durability and reliability
High-quality WEISS components, hardened surfaces and precise bearings ensure that the devices can operate continuously in 24/7 mode, maintaining constant operating parameters for many years. This minimizes downtime and maintenance costs.
Compact and modular design
WEISS rotators are available in many size and configuration variants as rotary modules. This design facilitates integration even in limited workspaces. The rotary module can be easily adapted to a specific application.
Easy integration with industrial automation
WEISS products offer compatibility with popular control systems (including Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Omron), and also support modern communication protocols such as Profinet, EtherCAT or Modbus. Integration with industrial automation and positioning systems is quick and easy.
Versatile applications
From simple applications to complex robotic systems - the WEISS rotary as an indexing table will prove useful in many industries. These include automotive, FMCG, pharmaceuticals, logistics, electronics production and others.

Rotators are often used as rotating platforms for industrial robots, enabling dynamic change of the position of the workpiece. They provide:
- access to many sides of the workpiece without the need for repositioning,
- cooperation with cobots (collaborative robots),
- space saving thanks to compact design.
Transport systems and palletizing
In automatic internal transport systems, WEISS rotators enable precise rotation of pallets, boxes or workpieces, which allows for their:
- proper positioning for further processing,
- easy integration with belt or roller conveyors,
- better use of production space.
Automotive industry
In the automotive industry, rotators are used in:
- engine parts production,
- assembly of electronic components,
- testing and marking of components.
Pharmaceutical and medical industry
Thanks to their very high precision and the ability to work in cleanroom conditions, WEISS rotators are used in:
- dosing and packaging lines,
- testing and quality control systems,
- micro-assembly of medical components.
