PTU-D48E Standard Model and PTU-D48E-ISM: Compact, weatherised pan-tilt units for accurate real-time positioning of cameras, lasers, antennas and other payloads.

The PTU-D48 E-Series is a two-model series of compact pan-tilt units that provide accurate real-time positioning of cameras, lasers, antennas or other payloads up to 6.8 kg.

The PTU-D48E model family is fully weatherised, offers an integrated controller and internal wiring with slip-ring for payload signals, and is designed for harsh environments in fixed and mobile applications. The PTU-D48E models offer integrated Ethernet, high-resolution digital encoders, programmable ranges of motion and more.

The lightweight design makes the PTU-D48E ideal for pole-mount or mobile applications. Payloads can be mounted on the side and/or top, with multiple bracket configurations available. The body of the pan-tilt is machined aluminium and provides very rigid, repeatable positioning.

Summary of Features

Benefits

PTU-D48E Standard Model Overview

The PTU-D48E Series miniature, computer-controlled pan-tilt is compact and lightweight, extremely rugged, fast and precise. It features the E-Series electronics providing integrated Ethernet, improved command rates and programmable ranges of motion. A single mil-style connector provides power and pan-tilt control, as well as pass through of payload signals via the integrated slip-ring.

The built-in command set offers both ASCII and binary formats. This command set 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, including absolute and relative positioning, velocity, acceleration and other unit functions. The optional Geo-Pointing Module also provides an Ethernet/IP interface for control of the pan-tilt units.

PTU-D48E-ISM Model Overview

The PTU-D48E-ISM integrates a powerful, low-cost MEMs gyro to provide active inertial stabilisation of any type of payload. Stabilisation improves images while on the move and allows communications links to be maintained from air, ground or sea platforms.

The PTU-D48E-ISM provides stabilised pointing for virtually any type of payload. The integrated MEMs sensor is used by the ISM processing module to measure platform motion in real-time and dynamically control the pan-tilt to compensate for unwanted motion. Its light weight makes it suitable for airborne as well as fixed or ground mobile and portable applications. The real-time control interface allows applications to dynamically control the PTU-D48E-ISM while stabilised, to support applications such as slew-to-cue, video tracking, antenna tracking and more.
