Measuring an accurate orientation and position of a machine can be quite difficult. Our products have been especially designed to help you in this task. Unmanned Vehicles control
The Inertial Navigation System (INS) is one of the most critical parts of an unnamed vehicle. SBG Systems has developed reliable products to help you in the design of a miniature and powerful Navigation System. Due to its small size and high performance, the IG-500A, a full featured Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS), is perfect to measure the orientation and the position of a miniature unmanned vehicles. The IG-500N which also integrates a miniature GPS receiver makes even easier the design of your navigation system. SBG Systems has put a lot of effort to keep high performance products while reducing the size and the weight; this is always appreciable in the Unmanned vehicle market. Associated products
Car motion analysis
Our products are used to analyze motion and dynamics of a vehicle. For example, a car pilot can improve his trajectory on a race track by analyzing his race. A car manufacturer can also study car drift or collisions to enhance his car chassis design. With the IG-500N device, you will get a complete car motion analysis system. Using its inertial sensors and powerful processing, the IG-500N can be used to measure the orientation of a car chassis during high dynamic maneuvers. The embedded GPS and barometric altimeter give you also an accurate position information used to correlate chassis attitude and car trajectory. The small size, high performance, and reduced-cost of the IG-500N allow a new set of exciting applications in car motion analysis. Associated productsAccurate 3d compassing
Magnetic north has always been the main information for boat navigation. While it’s quite simple to have an idea of the north direction with a standard compass, it’s much harder to get an accurate heading information in each orientation. Ferromagnetic parts can easily distort the earth magnetic field inducing large errors in north direction and for good heading measurement, a standard compass should be used horizontally. In a boat, these two conditions are rarely satisfied due to large ferromagnetic parts and high dynamics in bad weather conditions. On the other hand, a GPS receiver can only calculate the boat trajectory but in no case the real boat heading. Think of a plane with crosswind to understand the phenomenon. To address these issues, SBG Systems offers the IG-30G. This product features an accurate 3d compass (including ferromagnetic distortions compensation) and a GPS receiver in the same small package. Everything needed for boat navigation is included in this device and at a low price compared to other systems. Associated productsAntenna tracking
Improving transmission efficiency and thus reducing power consumption is a major challenge in wireless applications. One solution to solve a part of this problem is to design a system with antennas capable of tracking each other. To track a moving object, each antenna should know both its position and orientation. The IG-30 is a complete solution able to solve such a problem. It calculates an accurate 3d orientation, and embeds a GPS receiver giving an accurate position. Associated productsPrecise horizontal reference
A lot of industrial applications need an accurate horizontal reference. For example, a Theodolite measures both horizontal and vertical angles. This kind of system is commonly used in surveying and engineering work. Heavy material leveling also requires precise horizontal reference. To address this kind of applications, SBG Systems has developed the IG-20. This small device includes a precise 3d accelerometer used to calculate, with the earth gravity vector, an inclination better than 0.2° in both roll and pitch angles. The acceleration sensor included in the product is fully compensated over a wide temperature range allowing its use in both indoor and outdoor environments. Associated products |
