And to enhance interflow between civil commercials and military application, the country has published military and civilian integration strategy. JINPAT Electronics as a slip ring manufacturer also takes part in the integration process and benefits from it. Slip rings and rotary joint as key components to enable power, signal, fluid and/or gas rotary transmission, can be installed in various electromechanical devices like military electronic radar combat facilities, tanks and armored vehicle, civil used automatic machines and commercial electronic devices, etc.

 

Among JINPAT slip rings, there are some models have great compatibilities in military devices and civil commercial devices. Firstly, JINPAT LPHF high frequency slip ring is a typical category that is fit for both fields. Radio frequency slip rings are commonly applied in military radars, satellite communication in motion, electronic combat devices and some civil used satellite broadcasting vehicles. Inside these radio frequency electronic systems, high frequency slip rings sometimes are independently installed as signal module. But the often case is that the radio frequency slip rings are integrated with through bore slip rings. In terms of the functions, most slip rings for military radars and weather radars can be used for commercial purpose.

 

Aside from radio frequency military devices, high frequency slip rings can also be applied on medical testing equipment. JINPAT Electronics provides radio frequency slip rings for medical device manufacturers. And medical devices are not doubt a good representative of high-tech and high-value civil used products. There is another branch of JINPAT radio frequency slip ring which is coded as LPCC. RF rotary joints of such branch are single channel products. This slip ring adopts 75Ω coaxial cable. The single channel radio frequency slip ring tends to be applied on surveillance camera globe, machine vision devices and so on. By substituting the cable by 50Ω coaxial cable, the LPCC slip rings can be installed on small and medium size RF antenna.

 

Fiber optic rotary joints, also known as optical slip rings are also very frequently used for both civil purpose and military intense. In many laser processing machines, control center of scientific research ship, marine winch for special purpose, you can see the application of optical slip rings. And in terms of military used, fiber optic rotary joints are favored to enhance confidentiality of data transmission in the coast defense. They are also adopted in military communication and exploration. JINPAT Electronics has many successful cases and received favorable feedbacks from the clients.

JINPAT Slip Rings for Pipeline Inspection Robots

Pipelines carry the mission of everyday passing of medium or that in the industrial scene. You will notice the importance of the underground sewer systems when it is raining heavily. The sewer systems have to been maintained regularly to fulfill a healthy operation. The same is true for pipeline systems that operate to transmit various kinds of medium. A regular-based inspection is needed. For pipes with large diameter, it would not be a problem for human to enter, but for safety concern and those with smaller space, robots are introduced to carry the job.

Slip rings are necessary component to allow an agile movement of the pipeline robot joints while transmitting power and signals. JINPAT Electronics as a professional slip ring manufacturer, provides slip ring solutions for pipeline robots.

 

For pipeline robots that work in limiting space, JINPAT Electronics recommend LPC capsule slip rings, LPM miniature slip rings and LPMS super miniature slip rings. To move freely in a pipeline, the figure of the inspection robot is strictly restricted. That is to say slip rings should be tiny in size to fit in the related pipeline robots. JINPAT LPC, LPM and LPMS are very small in size and light in weight. LPMS-06B-06S is a very typical slip ring model designed for the pipeline robots. With a diameter of 8.5mm and a length of 14.2mm, this super miniature slip ring can fit in limiting installation space. It is a 6-channel product with 2 signal channels, 2 analog channels and the left 2 channels for other signals. Generally speaking, the slip rings are installed to allow the camera and the joints of the robot to rotate. And to allow a more vivid graphic transmission, sometimes SDI and HDMI integration is necessary.

 

As for pipeline robots with larger size and more complex movements, slip rings are expected to be fit to allow higher power capacity and more diverse functioning, which usually leads to choosing slip rings with larger size. Through bore slip rings are a favored choice for the easy installation on robot shaft and their flexibility in integration. Especially for pipeline robots that not only see through the condition of pipeline but also shoulder the mission of repairing, accurate and robust joint movements are demanded. JINPAT through bore slip rings are able to provide an accurate and dynamic rotation while maintaining a reliable data transmission.

Features of Slip Rings for Fire-fighting Robots

Among robots for different purpose, fire-fighting robots are very eye-catching products in today’s market. Fire-fighting robots can replace fire-fighters to put out fire under extreme circumstances, they are one of the most popular civil used robots. And on these fire-fighting robots, some request slip rings. JINPAT Electronics, as a pioneer in slip ring manufacturing industry, has developed slip rings and rotary joints for various purposes. As for fire-fighting robots, JINPAT Electronics also provides solutions.

 

In terms of function, we can treat fire-fighting robots are mini-size fire engine. That is to say some slip rings for fire-fighting robots are simplified version of those for fire engine. JINPAT slip rings for fire engines are mostly pillar slip rings with big through bore diameter that exceed 100mm. Given the similar structure, they belong to the JINPAT through bore slip ring series.

 

The large through bore design in to facilitate passing of big water pipe. Such design is also applicable for large size fire-fighting robots. And JINPAT slip rings for fire engines are integrated slip rings that can transmit power and various signals. Take LPT120-0630-16S-E2 for example, there are 4 40A power channels, one 100M Ethernet signals and other 16 signals that integrate throttle signal, control signal, angle signal and CAN signal, etc. But for small size fire-fighting robots, some adjustments need to be made like with smaller through bore diameter, and less signal channels. A brand new design is needed for special type small size fire-fighting robots. Without fire extinguish equipment like on those fire engines, these fire-fighting robots only carry water pipes.

 

To keep a real time detection of the fire scene, these fire robots are equipped with a 360-degree camera globe. An electro-optical slip rings that integrate SDI high definition video signal is demanded to support such device. This slip ring model is highly adaptable and very mature in technology. For application on fire-fighting robots, only an upgrading of the protection grading is needed to enable JINPAT LPC-1C SDI slip ring to work in the device.

JINPAT Through Bore Slip Rings on Radar Systems

Through bore slip rings have the second largest production volume among all JINPAT products. This type of slip rings is broadly applied in various industry and people’s everyday life. Radars as a radio detection equipment, are also a major application of slip rings. In the civil field, slip rings are installed in aircraft, ships and for weather forecast. And given the different application scenes, slip rings are different.

 

In some low peak power radar systems for short distance detections, most are through bore slip rings with small through bore and small diameter. JINPAT Electronics has provided couples of slip ring solutions for the civil-used radar systems. JINPAT standard through bore slip ring models can fit such needs. The most representative models are LPT012-0610, LPT038-1205 and LPT038-0605.

 

Generally speaking, standard through bore slip rings are cost-effective products. However, for some high-end radar systems, a custom integrated slip ring is needed. Radar system with high peak power, generate a large volume of data. And recent years has witnessed the integration of radar and computer technology. Slip rings that transmit 100M Ethernet signals and Gigabit Ethernet signals are ubiquitous. LPT000-36S-E2 is an Ethernet integrated slip ring with 36 signal channels and 1 100M Ethernet signals.

 

Some large radar systems with higher data capacity, an integrated slip rings with single Ethernet channel are not sufficient. And radio frequency rotary joint, also known as high frequency slip rings are key components to facilitate data transmission. LPT000-0315-0810-80S-E3-HF03 and LPT060-0630-18S-E2-HF04 are two radio frequency and Ethernet integrated slip ring models that are well-received among customers.

 

Most JINPAT hollow shaft slip rings adopt traditional precious metal or fiber brush friction pairs. And on some large radars, the slip rings are directly installed on the rotation shaft. As for radar with larger shaft diameter, radio frequency signal is not enough to cater data transmission. To fulfill requirements of this type of radars, JINPAT develops radar slip ring with silver carbon graphite friction brush. This slip rings adopt aviation connector to facilitate installation and maintenance of slip ring cables. As a pioneer in the slip ring industry, JINPAT Electronics also develops multi-channel integrated slip rings, integrated flat slip rings and so on for various radar systems.

On Applications of Fiber Optic Rotary Joints

Fiber optic rotary joints, also known as optical slip rings, are a special type of slip rings that transmit optical signals. Fiber optic rotary joints featuring high transmission rate, long life span and high reliability, are widely applied in different applications. JINPAT Electronics, as a pioneer in the slip ring industry, has accumulated lots of experiences in slip ring R&D. And JINPAT has been stepping ahead in doing independent R&Ds on optical slip ring. JINPAT Electronics is now capable of producing fiber optic rotary joints in bulks. JINPAT is also capable of producing single mode optical slip rings within 5 channels and multi-mode optical slip rings within 10 channels in a relatively small scale.

 

Back to our theme today, fiber optic rotary joints are actually special optical components with high precision processing and high technology. Therefore, the cost of the optical slip ring is comparatively higher than the general slip rings. And they are mostly adopted in high-end electronic products. One of the most everyday application is on under water robots. To gain in-time control of the ROVs and transmit the signals, an optical slip ring is installed within the system.

 

At present, the fiber optic rotary joints are mostly applied in the optical power processing devices. The optical slip rings are favored by laser device manufacturers. And most are multi-channel optical slip rings. As for devices that enable laser cutting and multi-axis processing, a multi-channel single-mode optical rotary joint is preferred. Aside from laser processing equipment, many industrial processing facilities demand optical slip rings to replace traditional electrical slip rings. For instance, some heavy industry machines that work in dust-threaten environment need optical slip ring to provide a safer signal transmission. And in the marine construction field, devices like undersea ROVs and marine winches also adopt fiber optic rotary joints to enable rotary transmission of data and signals. Meanwhile, an integration with electrical slip ring is better.

 

In facts, optical slip rings are less seen in the everyday life. However, for high-end surveillance cameras, an optical slip ring is a better solution for its real-time signal transmission and high transmission rate.

 

With the development of optical technology and lowering cost, fiber optic rotary joints are facing broader applications. JINPAT keeps making research of such products. We provided innovative rotary solutions that surprise our clients. Consult JINPAT for more efficient and endurable slip ring solutions.
