Innovision Optics Camera Shuttle
Challenge
CNN Headline News in Atlanta needed a monorail pan and tilt camera for the newsroom.
Solution
Trust Automation designed and implemented a servo-controlled pan and tilt shuttle camera system. We developed a custom drive control system and dual control board for robotic control of the camera and shuttle. The system included program button that could be set to launch a pre-recorded move sequence for all five axes, simultaneously. The shuttle was capable of moving at 2 meters per second.
