Multisensor gimbal aids airborne surveillance
Cobolt 275 CG--a multisensor gimbal for airborne surveillance missions--is 11 in. in diameter and has a total mass of less than 12 kg, making it useful for light helicopters and drones. The C275 CG integrates a high-performance thermal camera, as well as a color day camera. To facilitate tracking of moving targets and locking on static scenes the Colbalt C275 CG also comes standard with VILGA video tracker technology.

Motion controller enables picometer positioning resolution
E-755 ultrahigh-resolution motion controller is designed to drive NEXLINE linear motor actuators and enables the combination of long travel ranges and picometer resolution. NEXLINE is a patented high-force, ultrahigh-precision linear motor actuator developed to bridge the gap between micro- and nanopositioning technology. The all-ceramic NEXLINE is suited for static and dynamic high-precision positioning of high loads.

Stages provide continuous travel
ABRT series rotary air-bearing stages provide 360° continuous travel with resolution to 0.027 arc sec. Payload capacity is up to 69 kg. The ABRT design features large air-bearing surfaces and innovative preloading for high stiffness and load capacity, producing not only excellent axial and radial error motions (asynchronous is <20 nm for each), but outstanding tilt error motion (asynchronous is <0.04 arc sec), as well.

Device illuminates web
Power Lightline (PLL) is an LED-based scalable illumination solution for web inspection and comes with white (5600 K), red (617 nm), or green (525 nm) surface-mount LEDs. Available in lengths from 16 in. to 11 ft, output intensity is controlled in 1.3-in. segments via an Ethernet interface. Profiles for different applications can be created, stored, and recalled. Integrated sensors monitor the PLL and report overtemperature conditions, as well as LED, power supply, and software failures.

Screwrail saves space
ScrewRail combines drive and support/guidance components in a single, compact, coaxial design to save space and reduce cost. By eliminating the need for external rail-to-screw alignment, the ScrewRail simplifies the design, manufacturing, and assembly of motion systems. The device comprises a precision rolled lead screw, supported by sealed bearings and contained within a concentric steel guide rail that drives an integrated nut/bushing.

Camera is optimized for low noise
The svs414 progressive-scan camera with resolution of 640 ? 480 pixels and a Camera Link interface is a new model in the company's SVCam camera series. It is optimized for high sensitivity and low noise. Its output is digitized with a 12-bit AD converter. The svs414 is reversible. In partial-scan mode higher frame rates can be achieved with reduced spatial resolution. Binning with 2 ? 2 pixels is also possible. Camera measures 50 ? 55 ? 43 mm.

Camera features enhanced color
SPOT RT3 Slider digital camera system combines improved performance and FireWire connectivity. RT3 Slider has improved optical color rendering, particularly when used with SPOT imaging software featuring correct color technology/ICC color profiling. Low read noise and deep pixel wells of its Kodak KAI 2020 CCD give sensitivity. With effective differential cooling of ?43°C, dark current has been reduced to less than 0.003 e/p/s.
