CENO slip ring structure customized for kinds of Optic pod

In order to suit the Optical pod structure, CENO customized the mechanical parts of the special slip ring

The structure of the electro-optical pod mainly includes the following parts:

Photoelectric sensor unit: used for sensing and detecting targets, usually including visible light/low light cameras, infrared thermal imagers, and other equipment. ‌

Control processing unit: responsible for processing the data collected by sensors and performing target tracking and positioning.

Power supply unit: provides power support for the entire pod. ‌

Environmental control unit: Ensure that the pod operates normally under various environmental conditions.

The main components and functions of the electro-optical pod are as follows:

Rotating tower: including U-shaped bracket, spherical platform carrier, angle measurement system, electronic control drive system, gyroscope, etc., used for target search, capture, and tracking. ‌

Gyroscope stabilized platform: isolates the vibration of the carrier, provides a relatively stable platform space, and achieves stable tracking of the target.

Servo system: drives the photoelectric load to search, capture, and track targets according to control instructions.

Isolation system: By using an internal and external two-stage isolation system, the impact of external vibrations on the electro-optical pod is reduced.

‌

The application of the special structure and technology of electro-optical pods includes:

Overall stability method: By installing inertial components inside the optoelectronic platform, the position and posture of the platform are monitored in real time to maintain the stability of the visual axis. ‌

Design of internal frame suspension system: Adopting a two-stage vibration isolation system to improve the stability and vibration isolation effect of the pod.

Technical indicators: such as the number of CCDs, minimum observation interval, focal length, total pixels, etc., to ensure the high performance of the pod.

CENO have designed and manufacture kinds of integrate slip ring for above Electro-optical pods in nearly twenty years.
