Unlocking Precision: The Power of Kernel IMUs

Introducing the Advanced Kernel Series of Strapdown IMUs

The kernel series of strapdown inertial measurement units (IMUs) is designed with state-of-the-art MEMS sensor technology. These compact devices utilize three-axis accelerometers and gyroscopes to deliver precise linear acceleration and angular rate outputs, ensuring minimal noise and extraordinary reliability.

Engineered to be lightweight and compact,these IMUs have undergone rigorous testing to endure extreme temperature fluctuations,intense vibrations,and shocks. Each unit is fully calibrated, temperature-compensated, and mathematically aligned to an orthogonal coordinate system. Additionally, they come equipped with Continuous Built-in Test (BIT) capabilities and customizable communication protocols.

The Kernel IMU lineup offers a variety of measurement ranges and performance specifications tailored to meet both industrial and tactical-grade applications. These miniature sensors are perfect for diverse uses in drone technology and robotics, including autonomous vehicle navigation, stabilization systems for antennas and line of sight, vessel motion tracking, and control for AUVs and ROVs.
