SBG Systems Announce Next Generation Ekinox Series Inertial Sensors

SBG Systems has announced the Ekinox 2 Series, a next generation of the advanced and compact inertial navigation systems.

With accelerometers and gyroscopes, Ekinox 2 attitude accuracy has been enhanced by a factor of two while improving resistance to vibrations and integrating the Beidou constellation.

Twice More Accurate

Ekinox Series is a line of tactical grade MEMS-based inertial navigation systems. Released in 2013, Ekinox has achieved a remarkable success thanks to its balance of accuracy, price and weight. This major improvement is due to a complete redesign of the in-house Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) integrating new cutting-edge gyroscopes and accelerometers.

Perfectly Suited to Mobile Mapping Applications

With the same form factor and price level, Ekinox 2 Series improve the precision of Mobile Mapping Systems whether they are aerial, terrestrial, or even pedestrian. This new generation provides 0.02° roll and pitch, 0.05° heading, and a centimetre-level position. It is ideal for LiDAR motion compensation and point cloud / images synchronization and direct georeferencing. 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 & Configuration

Compact and light-weight, the Series has been designed to simplify installation and operations. Configuration is made easy throughout the intuitive embedded web interface where all parameters can be quickly displayed and adjusted. For example, you can choose your profile (plane, car, etc.) and the 3D view will provide a visualization of settings such as the sensor position, alignment, lever arms, etc.

Availability

Ekinox 2 Series is ITAR Free. The product line will be available during the second quarter of 2017. Order information is available from SBG Systems representatives and authorized SBG Systems dealers.
