SmartMotor^TM Brings Accuracy to Pan & Tilt Positioning Systems

Phase Offset Adjustments Dampen Vibrations and Help Stabalize

How it Works

The Phase Offset option creates a differential velocity between the external gyroscopic measurement of the Pan & Tilt system and the motor’s internal encoder. This allows the physical measurement of the gyroscopic position sensors to tie in directly to the closed loop of the servo. The fact that the Smart Motor™ is a true servo allows for the highest degree of accuracy, smoothness, and precision all while contained in a compact unit. 

Burchfield Automation Finds Success With Phase Offset Feature

Burchfield Automation’s Pan & Tilt systems are capable of performing tracking operations wherein a camera will stay focused on one area while the Pan & Tilt base moves with the vehicle. The result is a camera that can lock onto a target and hold it in focus regardless of vehicle movement.
