Objectmaker™ Turntables

The Objectmaker™ comes with either a motorized or beam mounted turntable. Please contact us if you would like to discuss which turntable best suits your needs.

Motorized Turntable

  • For filming objects up to 330 lbs.                                               
  • 8 high x 17-1/2 diameter
  • Four leveling feet for use on irregular surface
  • 17-1/2 x 17-1/2  x 5-1/2 high square frame made from 1 x 1 T-slotted extruded aluminum
  • 3/8 thick x 17-1/2 smoky gray Lexan turn table disc
  • Comes with heavy-duty shipping case
  • Internally mounted 4.5 amp two-phase 36:1 stepper gear motor
  • 1/5 pitch timing-belt drive train with gear ratio of 5:1 for a total gear ratio of 180: 1
  • Comes with a dual-axis controller/driver (so you can add a swingarm assembly later if you decide to purchase this item independently)                    
  • Stand-alone motion-control and image-capturing software for  capturing images from a video feed and sending these to user-selected folder. The images are grabbed on the fly, i.e., while the turn table is moving. This allows the user to film objects in much less time than previously possible. The software works with Nikon Capture and the Nikon D1 as well as with other digital capture programs for automatically triggering cameras. A still camera (digital or film) with an electric cable release can also be used for automatic capture.
  • The  images created using this application can be subsequently formatted into an object movie using software such as QTVRŽ Authoring Studios (sold separately).
