PED12 — Stabilised Electromechanical Pan-Tilt.

Highlights

01Gyro stabilisation

Steady tracking on an unstable platform

Gyro stabilisation keeps the payload pointed while the platform itself moves. On a vessel or a vehicle in motion this is the difference between a usable image and a search pattern.

Dual-loop control to 0.001° with secondary encoder
Pointing accuracy from 0.028°, resolution 0.002°

Both PED12 yoke arms frame the payload in a three-quarter view.

02Configurable U-arm

Arm width set to the payload it carries

The U-arm width is configured to the sensor suite rather than fixed, so an off-centre or oversized payload can be balanced about the tilt axis instead of loading it eccentrically.

Torque to 475 Nm peak tilt, 875 Nm momentary
Video tracking available as an option
