Press Release – 2/20/2007 AA-9 Rotating Pedestal / Positioner

Antenna Associates Inc. of Brockton, MA has developed a dual function rotating pedestal called the AA-9.  This pedestal is capable of BOTH rotating in azimuth at a fixed speed and “point and shoot” at a requested position.  This unit can be used as for pointing antennas or optical equipment.

Rotational accuracy is another huge benefit to this rotating pedestal.  The AA-9 monitors, verifies and corrects its own position thousands of times per second maintaining an extremely high degree of accuracy.

The torque of the AA-9 is another selling point.  The compact unit has the torque capable of rotating a 14 foot, 200 lb. antenna at 60 RPM while maintaining rotational speed within 1/100th of a radian/second.
