Round Air Caster Turntables

Round Air Caster Turntables

Reliable & Efficient

Round Air Caster Turntables

Air caster turntables use a thin cushion of compressed air to lift heavy loads off the floor and let them rotate freely with almost no friction. This makes them a strong fit for facilities that need to rotate large or awkward loads, such as aerospace fuselage sections, industrial tanks, or heavy machinery, especially in tight spaces where a crane or conventional turntable would not fit.

Frequently asked questions
What kind of maintenance should I expect for the Air Caster Turntables?

Air Caster technology floats the load on a cushion of air, significantly reducing friction and allowing heavy loads to be rotated with minimal force. Because the Air Caster does most of the work, our tables require few moving parts and experience minimal wear and tear.

When maintenance is needed, our turntables feature slide-out trays for easy access to components. Regular maintenance, as outlined in the manual, and using the proper air settings with a clean and dry air supply, will prolong the lifespan.

How easy is it to repair or perform maintenance on the Air Caster Turntables?

We designed our Air Caster Turntables to make it simple and quick to replace all internal components; such as the drive, shock stops, the shot pin, and the air casters themselves.

What’s the difference between Air Caster Turntables and Mechanical Turntables?

Air Caster Turntables float the load on a thin film of air, allowing for nearly friction free rotation. Mechanical Turntables can be used in environments without an air supply as required by our Air Caster Turntables. They're also great for outdoor areas or situations where the ability to run for an extended amount of time is necessary.

What are the advantages to using Air Caster Turntables over Mechanical Turntables?

In certain manufacturing environments, small particles such as glass or dust can cause downtime when using Mechanical Turntables. Air Casters offer a barrier of protection from small particles, resulting in higher efficiency over time. Give us a call at 800-888-0018 to speak with us about which type of turntable would best suit your needs.

Frequently asked questions
What kind of maintenance should I expect for the High Speed Air Caster Turntables?

Air Caster technology floats the load on a cushion of air, which cuts friction sharply and lets heavy loads rotate with very little force. Because the air caster does most of the work, these tables need few moving parts and hold up well over time.

When service is needed, the turntables use slide out trays that give quick access to internal components. Following the manual's maintenance schedule with clean, dry air will extend the unit's lifespan.

What is the difference between the Round Air Caster Turntable and the High Speed Air Caster Turntable?

The biggest difference is cycle time. A Round Air Caster Turntable can cycle in as little as 10 seconds, while the High Speed version can get down to 6 seconds. Capacity and overall height also differ between the two families to support that faster cycle time.

How easy is it to repair or perform maintenance on the High Speed Air Caster Turntable?

These turntables are designed so the internal components housed in the center, including the drive and the shot pin, can be swapped out quickly without much disassembly.

What is the capacity of each side of the High Speed Air Caster Turntable?

The standard unit holds 10,000 pounds total, so each side of the turntable can carry up to 5,000 pounds. Higher capacity versions can be engineered on request for applications that need more.

Overcome Obstacles. Maximize Production.

In-Ground Solutions

Drivable
Surface

Flush Floor Air Caster Turntables are commonly designed to handle traffic like fork trucks, vehicles and other equipment driving on the surface without damage to the turntable. Align will design the turntables to meet your specific needs.

Low
Maintenance

Air Caster technology floats heavy loads on a cushion of air, reducing friction and allowing easy rotation with minimal force. With fewer moving parts for less wear, maintenance is simplified with slide-out trays for easy air bearing replacement.

Rail
Option

We’ve built many Flush Floor Turntables, including some with rail spurs built for the locomotive industry. With this option, carts are able to interact with the turntable, change direction on a dime, and move on to the next stage of manufacturing.

Frequently asked questions
Why should I buy from Align Production Systems over other turntable manufacturers?

Align Production Systems uses quality materials and works closely with customers to build turntables that fit their exact needs, whether that means a specific shape, size, or cycle speed.

What's the benefit of using Flush Floor Turntables?

Flush Floor Turntables let product move quickly and efficiently through a manufacturing line because the unit sits directly in the floor. Operators and fork trucks can drive across it without an obstruction in their path.

Can I drive a fork truck over the Flush Floor Turntable?

Yes. Align's engineers design each turntable to meet specific traffic requirements, including the ability to drive fork trucks and other equipment directly over the unit.

What kind of maintenance should I expect for the Air Caster Turntables?

Air Caster technology floats the load on a cushion of air, which cuts friction sharply and lets heavy loads rotate with very little force. Because the air caster does most of the work, these tables need few moving parts and hold up well over time.

When service is needed, the turntables use slide out trays that give quick access to internal components. Following the manual's maintenance schedule with clean, dry air will extend the unit's lifespan.

What’s the difference between Air Caster Turntables and Mechanical Turntables?

Mechanical Turntables can be used in environments without an air supply as required by ourĀ Air Caster Turntables. They’re also great for outdoor areas or situations where the ability to run for an extended amount of time is necessary.

What kind of maintenance should I expect for the Air Caster Turntables?

Air CasterĀ technology floats the load on a cushion of air, significantly reducing friction and allowing heavy loads to be rotated with minimal force. Because the Air Caster does most of the work, our tables require few moving parts and experience minimal wear and tear.

When maintenance is needed, our turntables feature slide-out trays for easy access to components. Regular maintenance, as outlined in the manual, and using the proper air settings with a clean and dry air supply, will prolong the lifespan.

How easy is it to repair or perform maintenance on the Air Caster Turntables?

We designed our Air Caster Turntables to make it simple and quick to replace all internal components; such as the drive, shock stops, the shot pin, and the air casters themselves.

What are the advantages to using Air Caster Turntables over Mechanical Turntables?

In certain manufacturing environments, small particles such as glass or dust can cause downtime when using Mechanical Turntables. Air Casters offer a barrier of protection from small particles, resulting in higher efficiency over time. Give us a call at 800-888-0018 to speak with us about which type of turntable would best suit your needs.
