Inertial sensors and systems showcased at Sensors Converge

From tiny, low cost, navigation and pointing gyros through to compact, tactical grade 9 degree of freedom inertial measurement units (IMUs), Silicon Sensing Systems Ltd is bringing its full range of all-silicon MEMS inertial sensors and systems to Sensors Converge next month.

With tens of millions of units delivered to customers around the world, Silicon Sensing focuses on delivering robust, ultra-reliable, high-performance micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) inertial sensors and systems. Each product is based around the company’s unique, patented MEMS gyro design - with every sensor manufactured in their foundry in Japan.

Steve Capers, General Manager of Silicon Sensing comments: “Our team is constantly working to extend the performance boundaries of our silicon MEMS sensors and systems. Today, in critical areas such as bias instability and angle random walk, analysis shows that our small, lightweight, low power consumption devices can deliver performance equivalent to far larger, heavier, and more expensive fibre optic-based units.”

Among the range of products on display at Sensors Converge will be:

Pinpoint® - The smallest gyro in our range – the size of your smallest fingernail – and our most successful product. Used in an extraordinarily wide range of applications, rugged and low cost.

CMS300 - A robust gyro and dual-axis accelerometer with class-leading bias and noise performance over temperature.

CRH03 – A new compact and rugged stand-alone gyro with impressive and stable performance over time and temperature

Gemini® - a family of high-performance accelerometers delivering precise, dual axis, linear acceleration measurement in a compact, surface-mounted package.

DMU11 - A proven unit, sold worldwide, the DMU11 is a low-cost IMU delivering premium performance for high volume applications.

DMU41 – A new tactical grade IMU delivering market leading bias instability. Some 50% smaller, lighter, and lower power consumption than its predecessor, DMU41’s performance competes directly with FOG-based IMU’s

Capers continues: “Among our family of products is a reliable and cost-effective solution to inertial requirement across the spectrum of industrial, commercial and consumer applications. We look forward to discussing a wide range of new opportunities at Sensors Converge this June.”
