MZT140TA Two-Axis Three-Light Turntable
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 integrates 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. With its lightweight design, high stability, precision, and strong system integration, it is well-suited for vehicle-mounted and shipborne deployment, enabling round-the-clock reconnaissance, surveillance, and target localization.
Equipped with both uncooled infrared thermal imaging and visible light camera modules, the turntable can detect, identify, and track ground targets day and night. It outputs real-time infrared and visible light video streams for mission personnel to monitor.
Typical applications of the optical turntable include reconnaissance operations, border patrol, personnel search and rescue, and forest fire prevention.
