Rotary Table with ZA6

Is it possible to use a Rotary Table with the ZA6? I would assume to use it you would need the additional “axis” added to PathPilot Robot correct?

Do you need it to work continuously or just to move from position to position on the rotary table?

If it’s just positional you could use the digital outputs from the ZA6 to command a position change (IE: IO1 = 90*, IO2 = 180*) by using an external controller + stepper motor like an Arduino. You could put position switches as inputs back to the ZA6 to confirm the table has reached the commanded position prior to running the arm.
