Typical Application

VG100 MEMS vertical gyro is a high performance 6 DoF MEMS-based inertial sensors, which has been widely used in the following fields:

– Platform and Vehicle Leveling

– Excavators

– Mobile Cranes

– Mobile Antenna Stabilization

– Mining vehicles

– Skid-steers

– Robotics control

VG100 MEMS vertical gyro widely used in excavators

Excavators work in a variety of harsh environments. It is important that these machines are equipped with the proper device for safe and efficient operating.

Using several vertical gyros (dynamic inclinometers) on excavators provides a range of data. This information can be used for Active Rollover Protection systems (ARP) to protect operators and prevent vehicle rollover. The data can also be used to optimize Measuring Excavation Depth, and Chassis Leveling.

VG100 vertical gyros (dynamic inclinometers) have been widely used in heavy machinery that ensure optimal operating. More than tens of thousands of SkyMEMS vertical gyros have been used in Chinese excavators.

VG100 MEMS vertical gyro widely used in mobile cranes

VG100 vertical gyro (dynamic inclinometer) outputs a clean measurement signal and can be used reliably on mobile equipment such as construction machinery, mining equipment, agricultural machinery, cranes, and anywhere else where sudden movements, shocks and vibrations are likely to be encountered.

And trucks with long boom extensions such as fire trucks or concrete pumps have to reach to high-rise buildings, often over large obstacles. SkyMEMS VG100 vertical gyro can be used to monitor the position of the boom arm or for base leveling. VG100 can provide accurate heading and attitude angles, and it can work in dynamic environment, which is widely used in mobile cranes.

VG100 MEMS vertical gyro widely used in mobile antenna stabilization

Users of geostationary satellite-based communication systems must calculate the angles needed to point their transmitting antennas toward orbiting satellites. The satellite appears to remain in one spot in the sky. Pointing a satellite antenna at a geostationary satellite is a matter of calculating the elevation and azimuth for the ground station antenna so that it points directly at the orbital location of the satellite. To realize demands on satellite automatically and quickly, the vertical gyros can be used in vehicle-mounted antenna servo system

SkyMEMS VG100 vertical gyro can sense both direction and pitch and roll at high accuracy in dynamic environment, and it has low power consumption, and can work in harsh environment. VG100 vertical gyro has been widely used in mobile antenna pointing.

FAQ

Q: What is the difference between the static inclinometers and dynamic inclinometers?

A: The static inclinometers are equipped with a 2D MEMS accelerometer serving as a sensor cell. This type of inclinometer allows high precision to be achieved in a static system, or when the machine only performs slow movements.

And the dynamic inclinometers (also called as vertical gyros) are equipped with a 3D MEMS accelerometer and a 3D MEMS gyroscope. An intelligent algorithm combines the signals from the accelerometer and the gyroscope to eliminate the effect of accelerations (e.g. due to rapid movement of equipment), vibrations and shocks.

VG100 vertical gyros belong to dynamic inclinometers, which can provide high accuracy tilt angle in harsh operating environments of high shock, acceleration, and vibration.

Q: What is Vertical Reference Gyro?

A: Vertical Gyroscope provides 3-axis angular rate, 3-axis acceleration and attitude output, it is used to stabilize or control ships and submersibles, to instrument automobiles, to stabilize antennas and many other applications. This vertical reference is especially suited for applications where there is limited bank and elevation such as ships, underwater vehicles, land vehicles, and camera stabilization. This is because the vertical reference uses a linear coordinate system.

Q: How about the delivery time?

A: for our standard model, if we have them in stock, only need 2~3days to re-test before shipping, if it is out of stock, then need around 2 weeks to arrange the production and tests. For the ODM electronic product, if needing to modify the structure, it will need around 3~4 weeks to arrange the production and tests.

Q: How to arrange the payment?

A: about the payment, please pay to our company account, the beneficiary’s name: NANJING SKY MEMS TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.  And our email is only @skymems.com to contact with u formally. To notice this to avoid the loss.
