300 Degrees per second Pan-Tilt Unit | PTU-D46-17

PTU-D46-17

The PTU-D46-17 is designed for high-speed, accurate positioning of camera, laser, antenna, or other payloads up to 2.7Kg or more at speeds up to 300 degrees/second.

The speed, accuracy, and dynamic control of Directed Perception pan-tilt units are designed to support high-speed detection and tracking applications. These Pan-tilts will run with a number of automated tracking software products in a variety of applications or alternatively can be designed into your own customized applications using a simple RS232 ascii command protocol. The PTU controller will also accept joystick control for manual applications.

The on-the-fly control ability makes Directed Perception pan-tilt units well suited as the core of an actively stabilized positioning platform. Inertial sensors, gyros, compasses, and GPS modules can be integrated to provide stabilization in mobile applications such as airborne or vehicle based systems.

Directed Perception pan-tilts are specified with a “maximum payload capacity". This specification is meant as a general guide and is accurate for most applications. The actual maximum payload capacity of a pan-tilt unit will depend on several factors including the geometric mounting of the payload (more specifically, where its center of gravity is in relation to axes of rotation), and motion dynamics. Directed Perception offer options such as Nodal Offset to provide optimised payload configuration. Another option offered is weatherproofing for outside applications.

All Directed Perception pan-tilts, available through Adept Electronic Solutions are completely configurable in terms of acceleration, speed, and other motion parameters. This provides a great deal of flexibility to tune up optimal performance for a wide range of payloads.
