RB18Rail Rail Robotic Elevating System

The SEEDER RB18Rail rail robotic elevating system is developed for automatic shooting of AR, VR, XR, MR or real scene in various broadcast studios, remote photography, government, education, event live and so on. Features such as anti shake technology, noise reduction technology and AI curvilinear motion technology ensure the shooting of complex motion video and meet every need of professional broadcast television studios.

Fully integrated, highly accurate, smooth motion control in all axes. Precision engineered lifting system makes it possible to raise cameras to the heights while retaining stability and smoothness of on-air control.

Tracks design can be straight or curved, and they are available in various sizes and can be customized to achieve the required min/max length. The stainless-steel materials ensure durability and cost-effective.

The system includes two sets of control systems, namely built-in and external, which can be quickly switched for use. It comes with an emergency operation button as standard. Seamlessly integrates with studio control systems like SEEDER SEEART, Vizrt MOSART, ROSS Overdrive, and GrassValley, supports graphic systems such as Vizrt, ZD, Brainstorm, UE5, and more.

Technical Instruction

1. Three-section hexagonal lifting column, straight or curved track sections. The dolly can move up, down, left, right, forwards and backwards, and the robotic head can move in pan, tilt, zoom, focus, iris, that is, a total of 8 axis motion. It can precisely position motion trajectories and adjust motion speeds, as well as arbitrarily record positions. There will be no accumulated errors after repeated camera movements.

2. Maximum payload of the pan & tilt head is 18kg, which is suitable for mainstream brand cameras and can be attached with small teleprompter.

3. Multi functional robot chassis is used to facilitate movement. The overall weight is about 80kg.

4. Power: 220V, 250W

5. Noise Volume: <40dB

6. Each track section is 2m long and 360mm wide, with an adjustable height of 20mm.

7. Equipped with standard travel indicator lights to show direction, lateral anti-derailment wheels, end stop buffers, end limit sensors, and obstacle avoidance LiDAR for enhanced safety features.

 

Movement Specifications

Pan range of the head: ±720°, speed:0-60°/s, precision:0.001°

Tilt Range of the head: ±60°, speed:0-60°/s, precision:0.001°

Zoom and focus: suitable for mainstream lens. Speed: 0-52mm/s, precision: 0.001mm

The robot movement adapts to the track length. Travel speed: 0–2000mm/s, minimum turning radius: 2.5m

1. Professional start-stop anti-shake technology ensures smooth footage during rapid start-stop actions. The equipment can operate at speeds of up to 2m/s, with no noticeable shaking when the speed is below 1m/s.

2. According to the starting point position and motion time, automatically calculate the curve motion trajectory and motion acceleration/deceleration function, and can achieve smooth curve motion of 16 consecutive points.

3. Absolute value encoders record motion positions and tracking data with a tracking accuracy of <0.000043° (8,300,000/360°), and one-time calibration. There is no accumulated error in the tracking data even after multiple power on/off cycles.

4. Support Canon and Fujinon full servo lenses, control zoom, focus and iris functions, and retrieve the lens built-in tracking data. Automatic lens delay.

5. Simultaneously outputs high-precision FREE-D tracking data via RS422 and network-directed UDP for seamless integration with AR, VR, XR, MR devices.

6. Standard TCP/IP network protocol for control by third-party equipment, enabling automated operations.

7. The head is equipped with an electronic level system, and the chassis contains an independent control unit that can operate without a control panel.

8. Optical collision avoidance technology is adopted. The collision avoidance distance can be set according to user needs. When the collision avoidance system is triggered, the equipment can complete braking within 20mm.

9. Stores up to 32 programs, each with 16 sequences and 16 scenes per sequence, allowing a total of 8,192 editable scenes, with the ability to import, export, and back up scene files.

10. Virtual compensation calibration function utilizes robotic motors to compensate for tracking data motion based on virtual error values.
