China Moneypro
The MZT230TA Two-Axis Three-Light Turntable is an advanced optoelectronic system combining an uncooled infrared thermal imager, 30x continuous zoom visible light camera, laser rangefinder, and two-axis servo stabilization platform. Designed for lightweight, high-stability operation, this integrated system excels in day and night reconnaissance, surveillance, and target location across unmanned vehicles, armored vehicles, and sentry towers. It features automatic target identification and tracking, dual-band infrared and visible light detection with real-time video output, 30x optical zoom with autofocus capabilities, and laser ranging up to 6km. The platform offers multiple operational modes including automatic search, manual control, and automatic tracking with memory function for brief target loss recovery. Additional capabilities include target locking with tracking frames, gate size adjustment, and precise target positioning using laser ranging and vehicle attitude data. With an airtight optical cabin, photo and video recording functions, and robust environmental adaptability from -40 to 60 degrees Celsius, the MZT230TA delivers professional-grade surveillance performance for border defense, coastal monitoring, and high-point observation applications.
The MZT230TA optoelectronic turntable consists of an uncooled infrared thermal imager, a 30x continuous zoom visible light camera, a laser rangefinder, a two-axis servo stabilization platform, and an image tracker. It features lightweight construction, high stability and accuracy, and high integration, and can be applied to unmanned vehicles, armored vehicles, and sentry towers to perform day and night reconnaissance, surveillance, and target location tasks.
The photoelectric turret uses an infrared thermal imager and a visible light camera to detect, identify, and track ground targets around the clock, and outputs infrared and visible light video in real time for mission personnel to view.
Photoelectric turrets are mainly used in scenarios such as air detection, ground detection, border and coastal defense, high-point monitoring, and border sentry posts.
