Abstract
A rotary joint system can include a first member rotatable relative to a second member. The first member and second member can be coaxially aligned along a central axis and define a channel therethrough. The channel defines a central channel segment radially extending a defined distance from the central axis and an outer channel segment positioned outwardly of the central channel segment. A first communication device is operably coupled with the first member and is positioned on a first side portion of the channel. A second communication device is operably coupled with the second member and is positioned on a second side portion of the channel. The first communication device can be configured to transmit an optical signal to the second communication device through the outer channel segment.
