Knight Tool Theodolite Positioner / Tilting Rotary

The Knight Tool Theodolite Positioner (often referred to as a tilting rotary table) is a specialized support and positioning device designed to hold and orient a theodolite or similar precision surveying instrument. A theodolite itself is a high‑accuracy optical instrument used to measure horizontal and vertical angles in surveying and alignment work.

📌 What This Positioner Does

• 📐 Mounting Platform: It provides a stable base to mount a theodolite securely.
• 🔄 Tilting & Rotation: The unit allows the operator to rotate and tilt the angle of the instrument smoothly — useful when aligning the theodolite to a target or reference point.
• ⚙️ Heavy Duty / Precision Use: These positioners are typically robust (this one weighs ~95–110 lbs) and are used in metrology, optics labs, geodetic surveying setup, or precision alignment environments where fine angular adjustments are required.

In simpler terms, while a theodolite measures angles, a theodolite positioner lets you orient that instrument precisely without shaking or disturbing its setup — especially helpful in lab calibration, high‑precision layout work, or optical alignment tasks.
