Continuous turret
As we started machining a turret we have came upon the question of could we make it a continuously rotating turret with 360 degree + of rotation by wire tracks or such. We found it to be completely do-able. The question is; is it doable AND legal? If so what are the limitations on wire to wire connections (finger like brushes?). Any insight would be great! Thanks
