Abstract: A rotation device to reorient a workpiece includes a retainer. The retainer accepts the workpiece in an open configuration and retains the workpiece in a closed configuration. The retainer forms two or more ring segments in the closed position. The rotation device includes a base to support the retainer. The base includes a plurality of retainer supports in working relation to the two or more ring segments to enable rotation of the retainer from a first orientation where the first structure contacts the retainer supports to a second orientation where the second structure contacts the retainer supports.
