D300
E-Series: General overview
|
|
|
|
The PTU-D300 E-Series extreme-duty computer-controlled
pan-tilt is designed for precise placement of payloads to 31.7 kg.and
offers an off-the-shelf solution for positioning cameras, lasers,
antennas, or other heavy payloads for both fixed and mobile applications.
Included, is an integrated slip-ring for continuous pan-rotation applications.
The E Series models offer integral Ethernet/web interface,
programmable ranges of motion, and improved
motion control fidelity. The controller is fully integrated
and a single mil-style connector provides power and pan-tilt control,
as well as payload signal management (optional). Integrated flex-circuitry
absorbs tilt motion for all internal wiring to provide long life
over high-duty cycles.
The built-in command set offers both ASCII and binary formats and
supports real-time control at very high command rates with very
low and predictable latencies. The rich command set provides fine-grained
control of position (absolute and relative), velocity, acceleration
and other unit functions. The optional Geo-Pointing Module also
provides an Ethernet/IP interface for control of the pan-tilt units. |
Summary of features
• Complete and proven control interface. Flexible mounting for single
and multi-part payloads; Built-in RS-232/485

PTU-D300E
standard model overview
Excellent
system reliability through low parts count and highly integrated design
The PTU-D300 E-Series is a precision pan-tilt designed for extreme
performance on demanding applications. It provides high-speed,
accurate positioning of camera, laser, antenna, or other payloads
up to 31.7 kg or more and features a integrated Ethernet, programmable
ranges of motion, and enhanced motion control
The PTU-D300 E-Series pan/tilt offers very high precision positioning
and speed control. The stepper motor/worm gear design supports microstepping
and is based on a rigid bearing and mechanical design to ensure solid
repeatable motion. The unit is highly programmable with user parameters
for range of motion, speed, acceleration, power consumption and more.
Real-time
command interface supports advanced applications such as video tracking.
The PTU-D300 E Series includes a fully integrated controller with single
weatherized connection for outdoor fixed and mobile applications. The
Side Mount model features a modular payload hub that allows simple "L"
brackets to be mounted on the side and/or top. The dual-side mount configuration
includes a top mount plate, and allows "L" brackets on either
or both sides. The modular hub adapts easily to customer OEM
brackets and payloads.
