Heliodon

We design and produce devices to simulate natural light.

Our fixed heliodon are:

	the easiest for teaching	the most efficient for analysis of sunshadow	the more automatic to make simulation movies

Movement	manual 2-axis, assisted by digital indicators	2-axis robot (azimuth and height)	3-axis robot (azimuth, height, camera rotation)
Device function	rotate a model or an object around two axes manually and precisely	rotate a model or an object around two axes automatically and precisely	rotate a model or an object around two axes automatically and precisely while rotate a video/photo camera around the local vertical axis
Usage examples	high educational value because it forces the user to manually rotate the model, simple and inexpensive	very convenient to carry out frequent tests on large and heavy models for which you want to automate the analysis	unsurpassed to create video clips of sunshade studies and views within the model (architectural endoscopy)
