VTI Technologies’ 3D MEMS (Micro Electro-Mechanical System) technology enables the production of stable industrial gyroscope components
It is also said to offer the lowest power consumption and smallest size for battery-operated environments on the market.
At Sensor and Test 2011 in Nuremberg, Germany, VTI will present its range of angular rate sensors for industrial, transportation and consumer electronics applications.
VTI’s SCR1100 gyroscope product range offers near-tactical grade bias stability, vibration robustness and high noise performance.
Typical applications include Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), platform control and stabilisation, motion-analysis control, and guidance and navigation systems.
The core of the SCC1300 combined sensor is the sensor element based on VTI’s 3D MEMS technology that, together with an ASIC, results in a very stable, low-noise and accurate gyro.
The SCC1300 combines a SCR1100 gyro with a high-accuracy three-axis accelerometer in the same package and offers opportunities in various applications.
According to a study carried out by the Department of Computer Systems at Tampere University of Technology, Finland, VTI’s SCC1300 combined angular rate sensors are so accurate that they can detect and measure the Earth’s rate of rotation.
To meet the rapidly increasing demand in the consumer electronics industries, VTI has expanded its product range with the CMR3000.
Introduced last year, the CMR3000 is said to be world’s smallest and lowest power digital three-axis angular rate sensor.
The CMR3000 has been designed especially for user interface and game applications.
