Application Description:
Digital camera positioning for a popular attraction.
Challenge:
An amusement park attraction required the positioning of a large and heavy camera in a very tight space. Separate controls cabinets were undesirable and minimal use of cabling and motion control drive components were required to increase a pleasant attraction experience. Maintenance free operation was a must.
Tolomatic Solution:
The ACSI Servo Motor with Integrated drive combined with the ERD actuator provides a complete motion solution (actuator + motor + drive)
The Tolomatic solution was chosen for its compact size, maintenance free ball screw design, and ease of system integration. Simple set-up and configuration software made implementation easy and closed loop positioning enabled proper positioning of the camera every time with minimal electric components.
Customer Benefit:
- All-in-one actuation solution that eliminated sourcing additional electric components
- Easy, clean actuator installation with minimal maintenance
- Enhanced attraction aesthetics by eliminating separate control enclosures
