Product Details
Compact 1.7 kg Pan-Tilt Unit for Mobile EO/IR Payloads
The JEC-PTU-720 is a compact dual-side pan-tilt unit for visible cameras, thermal modules and lightweight sensing payloads. Its T-type double-cabin structure, responsive DMD drive system and wide 10–36 VDC input support integration on inspection robots, unmanned vehicles, mobile surveillance equipment and compact EO/IR systems.
Robot-inspection integration reference. The completed PTZ camera system is not the standalone JEC-PTU-720.
1.7 kg Rated payload
360° Continuous pan
100°/s Maximum pan speed
80°/s Maximum tilt speed
IP66 Outdoor protection
10–36 VDC Wide-voltage input
High-Speed DMD Motion Control
The DMD drive system is designed to provide a wide speed-control range, high angular acceleration and responsive movement in a compact mechanism. Closed-loop speed and position control help the pan-tilt unit move smoothly between observation points while maintaining repeatable positioning during remote operation.
A position-locking function allows the unit to recover its commanded position after an external force causes displacement. Optional absolute or relative angle sensors can provide position feedback for OEM control software, preset patrol routes and automated inspection workflows.
T-type dual-side payload structure for balanced sensor installation.
Pan rotation of 360° continuously with a tilt range of ±90°.
Pan speed up to 100°/s and tilt speed up to 80°/s.
Low standby and operating power consumption for mobile platforms.
RS485 or RS422 control interfaces with Pelco-D protocol support.
Industrial EMC, ESD and Surge Protection
According to the supplied JEC technical documentation, the platform has undergone electrostatic discharge, radiated-immunity and surge testing for demanding electrical environments. These capabilities are relevant when the pan-tilt unit is integrated into outdoor equipment, utility inspection systems, vehicle-mounted platforms or installations with long power and communication cable runs.

Test conditions and applicability may vary with connector, cable, power and payload configuration. Request the current model-specific test reports from JEC before using these values in a compliance submission.
Flexible Payload and OEM Integration
The rated payload must include the camera, thermal module, housing, mounting plate, connectors and all moving cable components. Payload weight alone is not sufficient for model selection. The center of gravity, moment arm, cable torque, wind area, vibration level, mounting direction and required acceleration can all affect positioning performance and service life.
Optional cabin functions may include automatic wipers, auxiliary lighting, edge computing, GPS, gyroscope and 4G communication modules. Final module availability and enclosure layout should be confirmed for each customized configuration.
Applications
Inspection Robot Vision Sensing: Position compact visible, thermal and inspection sensors for factory patrol and equipment observation.
Vehicle-Mounted Rapid Deployment: Support temporary monitoring and mobile security systems after mounting and vibration review.
Compact EO/IR Payload Integration: Carry lightweight visible, thermal or dual-sensor modules in customized OEM systems.
Power Utility Infrastructure Inspection: Support observation of transmission lines, towers and substations from outdoor inspection equipment.
Multi-Sensor Deployment References
The following images show JEC multi-sensor PTZ systems deployed on unmanned surface vessels. JEC-PTU-720 payload configuration must be reviewed separately against the 1.7 kg load limit and mechanical balance requirements.

Final JEC-PTU-720 compatibility depends on payload weight, dimensions and center of gravity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What payload can the JEC-PTU-720 carry?
The listed rated payload is 1.7 kg. Include cameras, housings, brackets, connectors and moving cables when calculating the payload, then review balance and center of gravity with JEC.
Is the JEC-PTU-720 suitable for robots and vehicles?
Its compact structure and 10–36 VDC input support mobile-platform integration. Mounting strength, vibration, cable routing and payload balance must be evaluated for the intended platform.
Does the unit provide continuous pan rotation?
The current specification lists 360-degree continuous pan rotation and a tilt range of plus or minus 90 degrees.
Does the application video show the standalone JEC-PTU-720?
No. The video shows an integrated JEC-PTZ-720 dual-sensor thermal camera system on a robot-inspection platform. The standalone PTU configuration is selected separately.
