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 specific 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™ controller). Analog units 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 configurations provide internal and external payload interfacing. RF units provide one to three pass-through channels for up to 18GHz bandwidth performance.
