Introducing Ekinox 2 Series with attitude accuracy enhanced by a factor of two
March 20, 2017 – SBG Systems will unveil the new Ekinox 2 Series this week during the U.S. Hydro Show, in Galveston, TX.
The Ekinox 2 Series is a new generation of SBG’s advanced line of tactical grade MEMS-based inertial navigation systems. It features new accelerometers and gyroscopes, enhancing Ekinox 2 attitude accuracy by a factor of two.
In addition, Ekinox 2 is available as a drop-in replacement of the previous Ekinox, at the same price level. There is no need for any additional electrical or software integration. Find out more by reading the SBG product change notification.
Enhanced Accuracy by Two
Released in 2013, Ekinox has achieved a remarkable success thanks to its smart balance of accuracy, price, and weight.
Thanks to continuous innovation, SBG Systems offers a new generation twice more accurate in attitude, confirming its unmatched Performance/Price/Size ratio. This major improvement is due to a complete redesign of the in-house Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) integrating new cutting-edge gyroscopes and accelerometers.
Suited for Demanding Applications
With higher accuracy for the same form factor and price level, Ekinox 2 Series is the best choice for industrial-grade vehicle navigation, equipment motion compensation, and data georeferencing. This new generation provides 0.02° roll and pitch, 0.05° heading, and a centimeter-level position.
It is ideal for demanding application such as hydrography, mobile mapping, antenna tracking, etc. With new accelerometers, this new generation has also significantly improved its resistance to vibration. Finally, the addition of the Beidou constellation improves signal availability in Asia.
Easy Installation and Configuration
Compact and light-weight, the Ekinox Series is designed to simplify installation operations. Ekinox 2 also provides for easy integration; the intuitive embedded web interface displays all the parameters for quick adjustment.
For example, you can choose your profile (Vessel, Plane, Car, etc.) and the 3D view will provide a visualization of settings such as the sensor position, alignment, lever arms, etc.
Available Q2
Ekinox 2 Series is ITAR Free. The product line will be available during the second quarter of 2017. Unmanned Systems Source is pleased to carry SBG Systems’ line of sensors.
