Suspension mode

Also known as object suspension. Category: Hardware

Suspension mode is a configuration of the PhotoRobot CUBE in which the product hangs from the robot and rotates in the air instead of standing on a turntable. It suits items that should be shown without a visible base.

How PhotoRobot uses it

In suspension mode the CUBE holds objects of up to 130 kg, such as handbags, chandeliers, light fittings and bicycles, and its rotation can be synchronised with other robots such as the Robotic Arm. Suspension lines and holders can then be removed in post-production with chroma key.

  • CUBE: Versatile PhotoRobot robot – Cube V5, V6 and V6 RotoPower – used as a turntable, to suspend objects, or as a rotating mannequin holder.
  • Chroma key: Removing everything of one specific colour from an image, such as a green screen or a coloured stand.
  • Robotic Turntable: PhotoRobot heavy-duty motorised turntable for machinery, engines and automotive parts, in 40 kg and 200 kg versions.
