JEC-PTU-720 Compact Pan Tilt Unit/Head for Camera Payloads

Model: JEC-PTU-720 Series

Compact Motion Platform for Robots, Vehicles and Inspection Systems

The JEC-PTU-720 is a compact dual-side pan-tilt platform designed for integrating visible cameras, thermal modules and lightweight sensing payloads.

Its compact structure, wide input-voltage range and high-speed motion make it suitable for inspection robots, vehicle-mounted systems, transmission-line monitoring and compact electro-optical platforms.

Key Advantages

01

Compact Dual-Side Integration: The T-type structure supports balanced installation of visible, thermal or auxiliary sensing modules while keeping the overall platform compact.

02

Responsive Closed-Loop Motion: Closed-loop speed and position control provide smooth operation, accurate positioning and rapid recovery after external disturbance.

03

Wide-Voltage Power Input: The 10–36 VDC input range supports robot, vehicle and mobile-platform integration.

04

Flexible Payload Configuration: Optional modules may include GPS, gyroscope, edge computing, 4G communication, wipers and auxiliary lighting.

JEC-PTU-720 Series

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.

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 standardReported levelReported result
GB/T 17626.2Level 4Contact discharge up to 10 kV; performance criterion A reported.
GB/T 17626.3Class B reportedRadiated-immunity testing reported in the supplied documentation.
GB/T 17626.5Level 4Up to 3 kV differential mode and 6 kV common mode; performance criterion B reported.
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.

  • Inspection Robot Vision Sensing: factory patrol and equipment monitoring.
  • Vehicle-Mounted Rapid Deployment: patrol and temporary field surveillance.
  • Compact EO/IR Payload Integration: visible, thermal and dual-sensor modules.
  • Power Utility Infrastructure Inspection: transmission lines, towers and substations.

Multi-Sensor Deployment References

The following images show JEC multi-sensor PTZ systems deployed on unmanned surface vessels. They illustrate possible unmanned-platform applications; the final JEC-PTU-720 payload configuration must be reviewed separately against the 1.7 kg load limit and mechanical balance requirements.
