SIDUS Solutions SS109APT underwater acoustic pan & tilt has been purposely designed and built to meet the demanding requirements for long-range imaging sonar applications. As part of the design effort, we took careful consideration of the key features an advanced imaging sonar system would demand.
The SS109APT includes user-selectable, uniform, low & high-speed rotation, near-zero backlash gearing, and high accuracy optical feedback positioning for the accurate display of dynamic, static, or “send or go to” positions. Each pan & tilt is pre-programmed to your demanding requirements – including customization. Extreme slow and/or variable rotation speeds are easily managed via the provided graphical user-defined digital control.
SIDUS Solutions has taken the proven field-tested features of our high torque pan & tilts and added the features insisted by serious operators. At SIDUS Solutions, we are committed to providing you with a modular design to simplify field repair; requiring only small hand tools for complete break-down. We offer options for all your mounting needs and include software-defined limit switches and/or hard stops to keep cable wrap under control. Positioning accuracy required by sonar operations necessitates we use optical encoders for low noise and high accuracy feedback.
Operating depth options:
100 feet / 30.5 meters (air filled), 10,000 feet / 3,050 meters (oil filled) – full ocean depth compensated – and 19,685 feet / 6,000 meter option available on request.
