China Moneypro
The MZT260TA Two-Axis Three-Light Turntable is a compact, lightweight optoelectronic system designed for unmanned and armored vehicles, plus monitoring towers. It combines an uncooled infrared thermal imager, 30x continuous zoom visible light camera, laser rangefinder, and two-axis servo-stabilized platform for round-the-clock reconnaissance and surveillance. Features include automatic target tracking, 30x optical zoom, infrared and visible light detection, laser ranging up to 8km, and advanced stabilization with 0.05 degree accuracy. The system offers multiple operating modes including automatic search, manual control, and automatic tracking with memory function. It delivers real-time infrared and visible video output, supports photo and video recording, and operates reliably in extreme temperatures from minus 40 to 60 degrees Celsius. Weighing under 15kg with compact dimensions, it provides high integration and stability for border defense, coastal monitoring, and tactical operations.
I. Product Introduction
The MZT260TA 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, 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 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.
Optoelectronic turntables are mainly used in scenarios such as air detection, ground detection, border and coastal defense, high-point monitoring, and border sentry posts.
