APT series high-precision pan and tilt mounts are designed
for your most demanding positioning requirements.
Building on Aerotech’s extensive experience in building
gimbals, optical mounts, and motion simulators for the military, government
agencies, academic institutions, and private industry, the
APT series expands our product line to meet the needs of
the security, defense, and surveillance markets worldwide.
The APT series combines proven high-precision mechanics
with industry-leading control technology in a single, unified
package. The drive mechanism includes a unique gear
preloading feature that self-adjusts for the effects of wear
and temperature variation, resulting in no degradation in
positioning performance over the life of the product.
A built-in Ensemble controller responds to motion commands
via an ethernet connection, or it can be programmed to
operate in a stand-alone configuration.
An integrated slip-ring carries camera connections to the
base of the unit. Continuous pan rotation with limited-travel
tilt is standard. Options are available to meet a wide range
of camera mounting, signal feed-through, and termination
requirements. An inertial stabilization option is available
that integrates gyroscopes and inertial sensors to actively
maintain the line-of-sight when operated on aircraft, ships,
and land vehicles.
