MZT430TA Two-Axis Three-Light Turntable
China Moneypro
The MZT430TA Two-Axis Three-Light Turntable is an advanced photoelectric surveillance system combining cooled infrared thermal imaging, visible light camera, and laser rangefinder technology. Featuring high-precision two-axis stabilization for elevation and azimuth control, this integrated platform delivers exceptional stability and accuracy for day and night reconnaissance, surveillance, and target location operations. Ideal for unmanned vehicles, armored vehicles, unmanned ships, and sentry towers, it offers 25x optical zoom, automatic target tracking, laser ranging up to 8km, and comprehensive image processing capabilities. With dual-band detection, multiple operating modes including automatic search and manual control, the system provides efficient area surveillance and personnel search capabilities. Its airtight optical cabin, robust servo platform with 60 degrees per second rotation speed, and extended 8-hour continuous operation make it perfect for border patrol, reconnaissance, rescue operations, and forest fire prevention applications.
The MZT430TA two-axis three-light turntable consists of a cooled infrared thermal imager , a visible light camera , a laser rangefinder, a two-axis stabilization structure for elevation and azimuth , a high-precision gyroscope, servo control circuitry, and an image tracker. It features high stability, high accuracy, and high integration, and can be applied to unmanned vehicles, armored vehicles, unmanned ships, and sentry towers to perform day and night reconnaissance, surveillance, and target location tasks in conjunction with payloads.
Photoelectric turntables can operate day and night, quickly searching large areas or areas inaccessible to personnel for close-range inspection, making work more efficient, easier, and safer .
Optical turntables are mainly used in scenarios such as reconnaissance, border patrol, personnel search and rescue, and forest fire prevention.
