A few days ago, heavy flooding caused a disaster in Henan province in China, endangering the local population and destroying the local communication network. The Ministry of Emergency Situations dispatched a Wing Loong UAV to assist with communications. It took 4.5 hours for the Wing Loong UAV to reach the site. The UAV helped to provide network communication in the area and hence facilitated the rescue operation. This shows how China is leading the way in UAV rescue.

The UAV collects information such as the SAR of the target area and sends it back to the control center. So the electro-optical unit on the UAV is the key device. And to enable the electro-optical module to rotate 360 degrees during data transmission, a slip ring is needed.

JINPAT Electronics is a slip ring manufacturer with rich experience in developing slip rings for electro-optical containers. For civil UAV, JINPAT’s capsule slip rings, miniature slip rings and super miniature slip rings are ideal choices. As for the special purpose drone, JINPAT has quite a few successful cases too. JINPAT’s fiber optic rotary joint is capable of transmitting optical signals with little data loss and without interference. In addition, JINPAT also offers a hybrid optical slip ring that can transmit power and signals simultaneously. With smooth rotation, JINPAT slip rings are very stable and durable.
