Photo Robotic Equipment by improtech s.r.o.
Success in Internet business relies on effective product presentation. A static image is not enough anymore. Virtual, photorealistic and interactive 3D presentations represent a new way of product presentation. The resulting impression is similar to actually being able to touch the product - it can be turned and viewed from all sides. Combined with
FSI Viewers zooming features all details of the product can be explored. This technology provides a competitive advantage to all who offer their products on the internet.
  A virtual 3D presentation requires multiple high resolution photographs of the product taken from all angles.

improtech s.r.o., based in the Czech Republic, develops and sells photo robotic hardware optimized to quickly capture high quality shots for use with FSI Viewer virtual 3D presentations. Besides offering a set of standard photo robotic arms, turn tables and lighting solutions, improtech s.r.o. offers custom made robotic solutions for your photographic requirements.

Introduction to improtech s.r.o.
When Improtech started to produce 3D-photo presentations some years ago, home-made jigs or manual object repositioning were the common practice. This time-consuming method resulted in very expensive product photographs and therefore had a direct impact on the adoption of the 3D technology among the general public.   By deploying robots Improtech has achieved a full automation of the photo shooting process. A set of high-quality photos needed for 3D presentations is now affordable and available in a fraction of the time. Improtech has many years of experience in developing and installing 3D photo robot equipment and control systems for customers not only in Europe.
Machine types and designs
The mechanical parts of the equipment have a sturdy design to ensure robustness and the required accuracy. A robotized turntable is available for taking pictures of smaller objects. Larger objects can be photographed on a robotized turning platform, which can be optionally equipped with a mannequin holder and other custom-made accessories. Both machines allow object rotation around the vertical axis. A robotized telescopic arm is available for automatic photography from various top-view angles. The combination of turntable and telescopic arm allows taking pictures from the entire upper hemisphere.   The robot ensures smooth start-ups and stops when moving, so it allows taking photos of less stable objects.
As the machines are at standstill while pictures are taken, various exposure modes can be used with no risk of blurred images. The devices are mobile, so the studio can be rearranged as needed or quickly moved to a customers premises.
