China Moneypro
The MZT140TA Two-Axis Three-Light Turntable is an advanced optoelectronic reconnaissance system combining an uncooled infrared thermal imager, 30x continuous zoom visible light camera, laser rangefinder, and servo-stabilized two-axis platform. Designed for lightweight, high-stability deployment on vehicles and ships, this integrated system enables 24/7 day-and-night target detection, identification, and tracking with real-time infrared and visible light video output. Featuring automatic target tracking, memory tracking, multiple working modes, and precise laser ranging up to 3km, it delivers exceptional accuracy for reconnaissance, border patrol, search and rescue, and fire prevention missions. With dual-axis stabilization, advanced image processing, and multiple video output interfaces, the system provides mission personnel with reliable situational awareness and target location capabilities in demanding operational environments.
The MZ140TA optoelectronic turntable consists of an uncooled infrared thermal imager, a 30x continuous zoom visible light camera, a laser rangefinder, a two-axis servo-stabilized platform, and an image tracker. It features lightweight construction, high stability and accuracy, and high integration, making it adaptable to vehicle and shipboard deployment for day and night reconnaissance, surveillance, and target location tasks.
The photoelectric turntable uses an uncooled infrared thermal imager and a visible light camera to detect, identify, and track ground targets around the clock, and outputs infrared and visible light videos in real time for mission personnel to view.
Optical turntables are mainly used in scenarios such as reconnaissance, border patrol, personnel search and rescue, and forest fire prevention.
