Product Core Structure – Compact Body Integrates Dual Transmission Capabilities

This flange cap-type micro photoelectric slip ring features a compact integrated aluminum alloy housing with a standard circular mounting flange. The flange is pre-drilled with fixing holes for quick attachment to the stationary base of the equipment, while the rotor end rotates synchronously with the load. It occupies minimal installation space and is well-suited to the internal layout of compact devices.

Multi-Industry Application Scenarios – Adaptable to Various 360° Rotating Equipment

Medical Precision Imaging Equipment

Minimally invasive medical equipment is the most core application field for this micro photoelectric slip ring, particularly suited to flexible and rigid endoscopes, intraoperative rotating camera systems, and end effectors of minimally invasive surgical robots.

During surgical procedures, doctors need the endoscope probe to rotate 360° without blind spots to examine lesions. Traditional split rotary joints are too bulky to be integrated into the slender structure of minimally invasive instruments; if cables are routed directly, repeated rotation causes wire breakage and image freezes.

With the ACN24-1R12P1, the electrical channels are clearly assigned: multiple circuits supply power to the lens CMOS image sensor, miniature zoom motor, and LED cold light source, while the remaining channels transmit pressure sensing, temperature feedback, and button control signals. The independent fiber optic channel transmits 4K medical endoscopic images in real time without loss. Fiber optic transmission completely isolates electromagnetic interference generated by internal motors and RF equipment inside the device, eliminating image horizontal noise and color distortion, ensuring doctors can clearly distinguish fine blood vessels and lesion tissue.

The product’s micro flange structure is compact enough to be embedded inside minimally invasive instrument handles and rotating joints. The gold-on-gold contact material offers extremely low wear, supporting high-frequency, long-duration continuous rotation in daily operating room use. The entire unit complies with RoHS low-heavy-metal environmental standards and is suitable for sterile, clean medical environments, with broad application in laparoscopes, otorhinolaryngology endoscopes, and orthopedic minimally invasive visualization equipment.

Industrial Vision 360° Fully Automatic Inspection Equipment

In fully automated visual inspection lines for 3C electronic components, precision hardware, plastic housings, and semiconductor wafers, rotating inspection stations require workpieces or cameras to rotate 360° continuously for comprehensive surface defect, dimension, and color inspection.

In traditional solutions, electrical slip rings can only transmit low-speed signals and cannot handle the massive image data from high-speed industrial cameras. Adding a separate fiber optic rotary joint doubles the size of the equipment module and increases the footprint of production line equipment.

The ACN24-1R12P1 integrated photoelectric slip ring perfectly solves these issues: the 24 electrical channels separately power and transmit control signals for ring-shaped fill lights, servo rotation motors, laser ranging sensors, and photoelectric inductive switches; the fiber optic channel stably transmits high-speed image data streams from 2K/4K industrial cameras, delivering massive pixel data per second with no delay and no frame loss.

The rotating stage can achieve unlimited continuous rotation without the need for limit return-to-zero, eliminating the risk of cable tangling, breakage, and production stoppages. The micro flange mounting structure can be directly integrated into compact rotating inspection fixtures, fitting neatly into compact automated assembly lines, greatly reducing the overall design complexity of the equipment. It is widely used in mobile phone housing inspection, chip appearance sorting, and full-dimension scanning of precision bearings.

Airborne / Small Security Photoelectric Pods and Smart High-Speed PTZ Cameras

UAV aerial photography pods, vehicle-mounted reconnaissance gimbals, and indoor compact high-speed surveillance dome cameras all have stringent requirements for lightweight and miniaturization, while also needing to simultaneously transmit power, control commands, and high-definition video.

Traditional separate electrical slip ring + fiber optic slip ring combinations are heavy and bulky, increasing UAV payload and reducing flight endurance; the narrow cavities of vehicle-mounted gimbals also cannot accommodate two independent rotating components.

This micro photoelectric slip ring features a compact body and extremely low torque, so it does not interfere with gimbal image stabilization or servo positioning accuracy: the 24 electrical circuits handle pan/tilt horizontal and vertical motor drive, infrared fill-light power supply, temperature and humidity sensing, and alarm trigger signal transmission; the fiber optic channel transmits dual visible-light and infrared night-vision video signals, free from electromagnetic interference from gimbal motors, delivering images without noise or smearing.

The flange plate can be simply drilled and mounted, and fixed directly onto the stationary base of the pod. The lightweight design suits small consumer UAVs, vehicle-mounted inspection gimbals, and building-mounted smart high-speed dome cameras, enabling 360° uninterrupted surveillance. Signal transmission remains stable across wide outdoor temperature ranges, ensuring reliable long-term outdoor inspection with minimal failure.

Precision Rotating Joints in Industrial Collaborative Robots

In small collaborative robots, desktop inspection robots, and end-effector rotating joints of manipulators, the internal space at the end joint is extremely limited, while still requiring simultaneous transmission of power, sensor signals, and visual image data.

When the robot end rotates, internal cables are repeatedly twisted and are prone to insulation damage and short circuits. Split rotary joint structures are complex and increase joint outer diameter, reducing robot flexibility.

The ACN24-1R12P1 micro cap-type slip ring integrates photoelectric dual channels and perfectly fits the narrow joint cavities of robots: the 24 electrical channels transmit power for miniature servo motors, torque sensor signals, and limit switch signals; the fiber optic channel carries image transmission from the end-mounted industrial camera, enabling synchronized robotic grasping, inspection, and visualization.

The low-torque characteristic does not increase the servo motor load at the joint, ensuring accurate robot positioning. The gold-plated conductive rings offer long wear life and can meet the demands of 7×24 hour continuous reciprocating rotation in robotic operations. It is widely used in desktop sorting robots, precision assembly manipulators, and laboratory automated handling robots.

Product Core Advantages – Breaking the Limitations of Traditional Transmission Solutions

Integrated Photoelectric Design, Simplifies Overall Equipment Architecture

A single component simultaneously enables rotational transmission of both electrical signals and fiber optic signals, eliminating the need for two separate rotary joints, reducing mechanical assembly parts, and shortening equipment R&D and assembly cycles.

Micro Flange Structure, Suited for Confined Spaces

The cap-type compact body combined with a front-mount flange offers a simple installation method. Compared with hollow or large-size slip rings, it is better suited to lightweight, compact precision equipment.

Gold-on-Gold Contact, Extended Service Life

Both the conductive rings and brushes are made of gold-plated material, offering low friction loss, stable contact, and noise-free transmission of weak sensor signals, making it ideal for high-precision low-signal applications.

Fiber Optic Isolates Electromagnetic Interference, High-Definition Transmission Without Loss

Because optical signals do not conduct electricity, they completely eliminate electromagnetic interference from motors and drive circuits, delivering zero-attenuation high-definition video and high-speed data transmission.

As more and more rotating equipment fields pursue miniaturization, high precision, and high-definition data transmission, split electrical slip rings and fiber optic slip rings can no longer meet the demand for lightweight integrated solutions. The CENO ACN24-1R12P1 micro flange photoelectric hybrid slip ring addresses the three core needs of power supply, control, and high-speed image transmission in one compact, easy-to-install package, with stable signal transmission and immunity to interference. It covers six major application scenarios – medical minimally invasive devices, industrial vision inspection, UAV photoelectric pods, collaborative robots, laboratory precision instruments, and special-purpose rotating equipment – providing a one-stop rotating signal transmission solution for all types of 360° unlimited-rotation equipment.
