All-in-one positioning modules can lower SWaP and improve image quality
Embedded motion modules can significantly reduce the size and complexity of products by integrating mechanical and electrical functions into a single, optimized device. This approach is particularly relevant for UAV gimbals, where minimizing size and weight is crucial for enhancing performance, maneuverability and range while meeting image quality demands.
New Scale Technologies is a US company that makes tiny, precise, and smart actuator modules with optimized SWaP. These modules have a proven track record in elevating drone performance for applications like:
- Dynamic focusing of cameras
- Image and laser beam stabilization
- Switching optical filters
- Moving control surfaces
Motion modules combine actuators, position sensors, precision mechanisms, drive electronics, and microprocessors with control firmware into one device to simplify the design process, reduce development risks, and accelerate time-to-deployment. By using embedded motion modules, designers can minimize payload while maintaining stability and precision.
In UAV gimbals, these embedded motion modules can help create more compact, efficient, and reliable gimbal systems, improving the overall performance of the drone in various operational scenarios.
