Pan Tilts

FLIR PTU-5

Pan/Tilt for top-mounted Payloads up to 5 lbs

Standing only six inches tall when fully integrated, the FLIR PTU-5 can hold up to five pounds on its top bracket, packing incredible performance into a compact package. Even with its small size the PTU-5 is more accurate than many other — more expensive — systems thanks to the absolute encoders used on the drive axes. Fully sealed and weatherproof rated to IP67, the PTU-5 can be used anywhere, even outdoors.

NOTE: Accessories not included, see options at the bottom of this page.

FLIR PTU E46

Miniature Computer-Controlled Pan/Tilt Unit

The PTU-E46 family of miniature pan/tilt units provide fast, precise positioning in an extremely small and lightweight package. They are fully computer-controlled and offer programmability of speed, acceleration, power, and other parameters. The included controller, with built-in RS-232, Ethernet, and RS-485 interfaces, handles precise kinematic motion control according to user-set parameters. The PTU-E46 units accept ASCII and binary command formats and is networkable. Commands can be sent at high speeds for demanding applications, such as laser scanning and video tracking.

The PTU-E46 series will discontinue on March 1, 2024. The last day of support from Teledyne FLIR will be June 2025. For more information regarding the discontinuation process and to see what alternative solutions we recommend, please reference the EOL notice below.
