FHR-35 Pan and Tilt Head Robotic

Setting the Pan and Tilt Mechanical Hard Stops
The FHR-35 is fitted with adjustable
that safely restrict the range of movement about the pan and
tilt axes. The pan and tilt mountings have a fixed stop and
two adjustable stop rings that are locked at the required
maximum and minimum limits of movement.
Setting the pan and tilt mechanical hard stops ensures that:
- The head and payload cannot collide with any fixed objects
within the working robotic footprint of the head.
- The payload will not collide with the head or the mounting
bracket or support.
- Undesirable areas of the studio are kept out of shot.
When the mechanical hard stops are locked in position, the
head will not be able to drive beyond them. However, the
head is still able to drive and collide into the mechanical
hard stops. To prevent this, soft limits are programmed into
the head at points within the range of the mechanical hard
stops. This eliminates the risk of constant collision with the
mechanical hard stops, and also restricts the head’s
movement range further whenever necessary. See the
section Setting the Zero Position and Soft Limits for
more details.
