RB18CR3 Robotic Crane

The third-generation robotic crane system RB30CR3 adopts upgraded robotic pan / tilt head and new robot chassis, and the electronic level system is equipped as standard. The system can automatically run shooting of AR, VR, XR, MR or real scene in various broadcast studios, remote photography, government, education, event live and so on. Optical and dynamic collision avoidance technology makes the equipment run safety and stably. 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.

The robotic control panel can manage the crane's movement in XYZ directions, the robotic pan-tilt head, zoom, focus and iris via network control. Supports up to 8 robotic shooting devices, stores up to 32 programs, each with 16 sequences and 16 scenes per sequence, allowing a total of 8,192 editable scenes. 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. It allows an operator to easily create dynamic moves such as W or S without losing camera orientation. The saved movements can be triggered with just one click. or even automatically. New movements can be created within minutes and existing movements can be modified easily. 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. 8 axis motions (left/right & up/down & back/forth of the jib, pan tilt head, zoom, focus and iris). The camera won't accumulate errors after repeated movements.

2. The total length of the jib is 3.00m-4.23m. The telescopic range of the front jib boom is 1.95m-2.85m. The telescopic range of the rear jib boom is 1.05m-1.38m. It can be manually adjusted.

3. Payload of the Pan & Tilt Head: 18kg

4. Overall Weight:192kg

5. Power:220V,300W

6. Noise Volume:<20dB

7. Customizable limits for the crane body's vertical (up, down), horizontal (left, right) positions, and the head's pan and tilt position limits.

8. Seamlessly switches between manual and automatic modes, continuously outputting Free-D tracking data.

1. Anti-shake technology.

2. Automatically calculates curved motion trajectories and motion acceleration/deceleration functions based on the starting point and movement time, capable of achieving smooth curvilinear motion of 16 consecutive points.

3. AI auto targeting stage scene.

4. Optical and dynamic dual collision avoidance technology.    

5. Electronic leveling systems on both head and chassis for precise calibration of virtual tracking systems.

6. Absolute value encoders record motion positions and tracking data with a tracking accuracy of <0.000043° (8,300,000/360°). There is no accumulated error in the tracking data even after multiple power on/off cycles. Tracking data can set the crane length, pan/tilt calibration data, and reverse tracking data feature. The transition VR/AR system application and one-time calibration.

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

8. Canon and Fujinon full-servo lenses enable AI auto-focus during simultaneous crane and head movement for shooting.

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

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

11. Modular design, tool-free assembly and installation, installs in fifteen minutes.

12. The crane’s body features a built-in operating system and 7-inch touchscreen panel, allowing it to operate independently without an external control panel.

13. 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. System operation log for viewing equipment operation records.

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

1. Automation studios and virtual studios.

2. News, weather, thematic studio, government, education, event, etc.

3. OB van, large studio, large scale activity.

4. Remote photography through network transmission.
