Camera Mounting Frame Designs

This form is suitable for environments without noticeable vibrations. It features a simple structure and easy installation.

Design Requirements:

This form is suitable for environments with noticeable vibrations. The portal frame provides a more robust support frame. Therefore, it can better resist external vibrations and impacts, and ensure the camera’s stability.

The servo module driven frame requires a smooth operation, with no impact on stopping and starting. Recommended normal operating speed: ≤250 mm/s. The components of a servo module driven frame are shown in the figure below: 1-frame body, 2-module mounting plate, 3-camera mounting plate, 4-camera, 5-servo module, 6-drag chain mounting plate, and 7-drag chain.

Frame body: Welded from 100*100 square steel. If the whole frame is high, you may add diagonal braces or use other securing methods. Module mounting plate and camera mounting frame: High strength and rigidity are required to ensure the stability of the camera when the servo module is in operation. Servo module: The repeat positioning precision of servo modules generally includes ±0.01 mm, ±0.02 mm, ±0.05 mm, ±0.1 mm, ±0.2 mm, etc. You can select the linear servo module according to the actual precision requirements of your project. It is recommended to use a servo motor for the driving part. Drag chain: Select standard market-available parts based on the diameter of your bus cable. Generally, the cross-sectional area occupied by the bus cable should be less than 60% to 80% of the internal volume of the drag chain. Drag chain mounting plate: Fabricated using sheet metal bending as required.

The positioning precision of pneumatic cylinders is slightly lower than that of servo modules., with a typical precision of ±0.1 mm. The pneumatic cylinder driven frame requires a smooth operation, with no impact on stopping and starting. Recommended normal operating speed: ≤200 mm/s. The components of a pneumatic cylinder driven frame are shown in the figure below: 1-frame body, 2-pneumatic cylinder mounting plate, 3-camera mounting plate, 4-camera, 5-pneumatic cylinder, 6-drag chain mounting plate, and 7-drag chain.

Pneumatic cylinder: Choose the cylinder stroke according to the actual distance of the on-site stacks. For the cylinder type, it is recommended to choose a guide rod cylinder. Otherwise it must be used with a linear guide. The pneumatic cylinder must be used with an oil buffer and a limit block. In addition, it should be equipped with an exhaust throttle valve. For how to design and select the frame body, pneumatic cylinder mounting plate, drag chain mounting plate and drag chain, please refer to the servo module driven frame.

Considering factors such as impacts on the pneumatic cylinder, overall operation precision, camera vibrations at the docking position, and long-term stability, this method is not recommended.

Design Requirements: The camera mounting frame should perform smoothly, with no severe impacts during operation; the movement speed should be less than 250 mm/s; ensure smooth and stable operation of the moving mechanism. The camera mounting frame should be rigid to ensure no vibrations while working. The components of an electric vertical camera mounting frame are shown in the figure below: 1-frame body, 2-3D camera, 3-camera mounting plate, 4-gear and rack assembly, 5-drag chain, and 6-drag chain mounting plate.

Gear and rack assembly: It is recommended to choose the brake motor to prevent the camera from falling in free fall after an unexpected power outage.

Design Requirements: The camera mounting frame should perform smoothly, with no severe impacts during operation; the movement speed should be less than 200 mm/s; ensure smooth and stable operation of the moving mechanism.The camera mounting frame should be rigid to ensure no vibrations while working. The components of a pneumatic vertical camera mounting frame are shown in the figure below: 1-frame body, 2-camera mounting plate, 3-3D camera, 4-drag chain, 5-rodless cylinder, and 6-drag chain mounting plate.

Pneumatic cylinder: Choose the cylinder stroke according to the actual distance of the on-site stacks. The pneumatic cylinder must be used with an oil buffer and a limit block. In addition, it should be equipped with an exhaust throttle valve. Choose the center-closed directional control valve for your pneumatic cylinder. This prevents the camera from falling in free fall after the air is shut off.
