Abstract: A rotary headstock positioner assembly for rotatably supporting a workpiece includes a headstock positioner having a support for supporting a workpiece off the ground, where the support has an axis of rotation in a first plane at least substantially parallel to the ground. The rotary headstock positioner assembly also includes a gearbox fixedly connected to the headstock positioner for precisely rotating the support. The rotary headstock positioner assembly further includes a support frame for supporting the headstock positioner, where the support frame has a support surface spaced apart from the axis of rotation of the at least one support at a first precise, predetermined distance. The support surface is also positioned in a second plane at least substantially parallel to the first plane and spaced apart from the first plane at a second precise, predetermined distance.

Abstract: A rotary table assembly for supporting a workpiece can include a table having a table top surface positioned in a first plane, where the table has a first axis of rotation. The rotary table assembly can also include a support frame having a support surface spaced apart from the first axis of rotation at a first precise, predetermined distance. The support surface is positioned in a second plane at least substantially parallel to the first plane and spaced apart from the first plane at a second precise, predetermined distance. The rotary table assembly can also include a workpiece positioner fixedly connectable to the table, where the workpiece positioner has at least one support for supporting a workpiece off the table top surface, and the at least one support has at least a second axis of rotation. The rotary table assembly can further include a gearbox for precisely rotating the table.

A robotic device can be interchangeably couplable with the rotary table assembly and another rotary table assembly, where the robotic device can perform operations based upon the first precise, predetermined distance and the second, precise predetermined distance.
