Rugged Pan & Tilt Positioners

QPT 50

The QPT-50 Series of Pan & Tilt positioners are designed for a wide variety of applications. They are rugged and durable enough for virtually any environment. The QPT-50 can handle payloads up to 50 lb-ft of torque making it suitable for a wide range of sensors.

Multiple models are available to fit your needs. Integrated Control (IC) units communicate via networked PC or through a separate controller. IC units feature integrated dual sensor serial control, lens drive and power supply interface making sensor integration quick and easy.

Analog units provide effective solutions where simple command and control are required without a PC.

The Sentry line takes our products to the next level by utilizing Stepper Motor technology into the design for more precise accuracy and broader speed control.
