# The CUBE - PhotoRobot’s Compact Product Positioning Device

> PhotoRobot’s Cube works in combination with motorized turntables for product positioning, as a standalone turntable, or with a rotating mannequin.

## CUBE

The Cube functions standalone as a photography turntable or in combination with other robots for 360-degree product photography.

## Fashion Product Photography

Quickly transform the Cube into a rotating mannequin for photographing fashion products. The device also has a system for quick mannequin exchange to streamline higher volume photoshoots. Simply prepare multiple mannequins, and easily mount them onto the Cube when ready for photography. Compliment the system with an optional storage cart to transport up to six mannequins of different sizes and shapes. It’s everything fashion product photographers need in the photo studio.

## Suspension Mode

This product photography robot has the unique ability to suspend products in air. Suspension mode makes it easy to capture products such as handbags, chandeliers, light fittings, and even bicycles. Suspend objects weighing up to 130 kg for 360-degree product photography. Synchronize rotation with other photography equipment and robots, such as the Robotic Camera Arm.

## Photography Turntable

Use the Cube as a standalone product photography turntable. With a 100 cm diameter plate, the Cube serves as an effective, mobile device. Its precision drive with zero-clearance transmission ensures surgical precision, even at the maximum turntable load of 130 kg.

The Cube V6 RotoPower brings mains power into the rotating plate. Products that must be switched on can be photographed or filmed while they turn, for example a fridge with its interior light on or a microwave with its display and interior light lit. Power passes through a rotary electrical joint instead of a cable, so the plate can keep turning in one direction without limit. More about RotoPower
