Introducing Ekinox 2 Series with attitude accuracy enhanced by a factor of two

Introducing Ekinox 2March 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. For more information about the upcoming release of Ekinox 2 series or to find out how to upgrade your current Exinox sensor, contact us.

SBG Systems Announces Major Improvements for the Ellipse Series Line of Miniature Inertial Sensors

Ellipse Series Performance UpgradedJanuary 31, 2017 – SBG Systems announced the release of a new version of the Ellipse Series, its popular product line of miniature inertial sensors. The Ellipse is greatly improved, showing unmatched performance in attitude measurement while adding Galileo constellation to its GNSS receiver. After thousands of Ellipse miniature inertial sensors operational on the field, SBG Systems proves again its capability of continuous innovation. With these improvements, the Ellipse line of miniature inertial sensors strengthens its position as “best combination of innovation, performance, and reliability” while keeping the same form factor and price level. Due in part to its small form factor and powerful performance, the Ellipse Series is a popular sensor for Unmanned Systems. It is also an affordable all-in-one solution that provides accurate attitude and position in real-time for Unmanned Systems whether they are terrestrial, aerial, or marine.  

Ellipse Series Performance Upgraded

The accuracy of every Ellipse models has improved from 0.2° to 0.1° in roll and pitch. With low noise gyroscopes and new high performance accelerometers providing superior noise level. In addition, the new accelerometers tolerate very high vibration environments (up to 8g).  

GNSS Navigation: Ellipse-N Operational with Galileo Satellites

The Ellipse-N model is an all-in-one inertial sensor that embeds a L1 GNSS receiver. Ellipse-N is already compatible with GPS, GLONASS and BEIDOU constellations. With the addition of GALILEO tracking, Ellipse-N benefits from more satellites, improving the signal robustness in harsh environments.  

2-Year Warranty: The Most Reliable Industrial-grade Sensors

Ellipse embeds high quality sensors with a greatly improved long-term stability. These sensors feature an IP68 enclosure and are resistant to dust and water. Additionally, in order to ensure consistent behavior in every condition, each sensor is tested and calibrated. Highly robust, the Ellipse is guaranteed for 2 years. There is also an option to extend the warranty up to 5 years.  

Compatibility and Availability

Thanks to a fully backward compatibility design, the new Ellipse series can be a drop-in replacement of the previous Ellipse. Thus, no specific integration action is required when it comes to mechanical, electrical and/or software integration. New Ellipse sensors are available for ordering.
