Well, of course... I guess my question was more or less meaning has anyone
done similar to the units offered by CAMCO or Sankyo (indexing turntables).
Or a geneva wheel.
I've done several automation projects where I've used touch sensors and a
separate drive to control a table - but I'd like to do a pick and place
automation with lifting/rotating on one continuously-rotating input drive.
