Celera Motion supplies Zettlex inductive encoders for a wide variety of camera and electro-optic systems in aerospace and security applications.
Position Encoders for Camera Systems
Zettlex sensors are used for azimuth (pan) angle encoders, elevation (tilt) encoders, motor encoders, and lens focusing. They offer particular utility for motion control at slow speeds (for example tracking moving objects at high zoom or long distance) and for angle measurement in computer-generated imagery.
We supply standard and OEM products to camera systems equipment manufacturers for a wide variety of applications, including:-
- Man-packable and covert surveillance cameras
- CCTV for buildings and ships
- Traffic cameras – mobile and static EOI systems (and searchlights) for airborne camera pods
- EOI systems and reconnaissance vehicles
- Outside broadcast and studio camera robotics
- Camera motion controls for booms and trolleys
- Target acquisition and identification systems.
Camera Application Requirements
Common requirements for our sensors include:
- Frictionless, no-contact and no-bearing design
- Absolute position measurement
- Low mass
- Compact size
- High resolution (to 24bits)
- Through shaft, low axial height geometry
- Digital, low latency electrical outputs.
