robot motion control atrax 3

ATRAX® HAS ITS REQUIREMENTS

To deliver its best performance, the robot needs:

– a 400 V three-phase 32 A four-pole P17 power supply with 12 kVA of power.

– an unloading area for the robot and a parking space for the truck.

– a 3 m safety zone around the robot, kept clear of people at all times: halphastudio cannot be held liable if safety rules are not followed.

We schedule a logistics briefing before every job.

atrax® 3 motion control robot rental

The atrax® 3 is halphastudio’s portable motion control robot: a robotic camera arm developed by Groupe Halpha in the Paris region, which repeats a camera move to the millimetre, even at high speed. It is rented with two operators, in our Vaires-sur-Marne studio near Paris or on your location anywhere in France.

Which shoots is it for?

Motion control is the answer whenever a move has to be precise, fast or repeated identically:

  • Commercials and packshots: products, cosmetics, food, table top.
  • High speed: fast moves synced with high-speed cameras for slow motion.
  • VFX: several identical passes for compositing, cloning or green screen.
  • Stop motion, music videos, films and series, corporate videos.

In the studio or on location

At the studio, the robot is already set up and calibrated on our 200 m² film studio: no transport costs and no set-up time. On location, it travels by truck and is set up in under an hour; we hold a logistics briefing before every job.

On site it needs a 400 V three-phase 32 A power supply (P17 socket, 12 kVA), an unloading area and a 3 m safety zone around the arm.
