QPT-90 Series
Pan & Tilt Positioners
The QPT-90 Series of Pan & Tilt Positioners is a high performance and versatile platform designed for a wide variety
of positioning and sensor support applications. The QPT-90 supports payloads requiring 90 foot pounds of torque.
Multiple models are available for specic requirements. Integrated control processor (IC) units feature dual sensor
serial control, lens drive and power supply interfaces making sensor integrations quick and easy. Serial IP units
communicate via networked communications or dedicated joystick controller (Unicom
are effective solutions where simple command and control are required without a PC. The Sentry line integrates
stepper motors for higher precision movements and broader speed control. Universal congurations provide
internal and external payload interfacing. RF units provide one to three pass-through channels for up to 18GHz
bandwidth performance.
