MPT 50

The MPT (Moog Pan and Tilt) Positioner Series leverages the strength and reliability of Moog legacy products and is improved with an enhanced electronics package offering new advantages to mission critical applications. MPT Positioners are equipped with an integrated Health and Usage Monitoring System (HUMS). This provides intelligence to users regarding the condition of payloads, allowing for preventative maintenance to extend the life of critical equipment. An embedded web server enables easy discovery and control of all positioners and integrated components on a network, thereby eliminating the need for 3rd party software. Expanded velocity control offers the MPT finer resolution of speed and acceleration control, ultimately improving tracking and scaling applications. Users will enjoy the capacity of multiple configurable communication ports for convenient payload integration and communication.
