Epson's Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) Features and Lineup?
#1 - Highly Stable Temperature Characteristics and Highly Accurate Alignment
In the actual environment, the accuracy of the output data deteriorates due to various effects such as mounting error, vibration, and temperature change. Epson's IMU reduces errors and outputs stable data.
- Compensation for alignment, scale factor, offset, temperature
- Selectable filter, angle calculation
#2 - Highly Stable IMU Performance
The stability of the gyro sensor, which is particularly important as an IMU's performance, is expressed by Allan Variance. It is one of the indicators of sensor performance and represents the stability during stationary output. The smaller the value of both ARW (Angle Random Walk) and Bias Instability means higher stability and higher performance.
The stability of the gyro sensor, which is particularly important for IMU performance, can be expressed in terms of Allan variance. Epson's IMUs have high stability due to the use of a double-T structure element made of quartz crystal, and the lineup includes products with stability equivalent to that of more expensive gyro sensors.
#3 - 1 Inch Product Platform With Small Size and Light Weight
Hardware and software are compatible, and performance can be easily upgraded.
Contributes to the miniaturization and weight reduction of customer products due to the features of compactness, light weight and low power consumption.
#4 - Waterproof and Dustproof Unit
Good for operation outside and compatible with CAN and RS422 interfaces.
Ideal for a wide range of system applications including industrial systems because M-G552 series makes it easy to build complex systems that require long cables or synchronized measurement of multiple sensors.
