PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Multi-class test capability.Two controlled axes.

The FDA-222-ECO is described by ACCUDYNA as a multi-class, two-axis rate table for development, in-process testing, calibration, and final inspection of inertial components and instruments.

The catalog specifically lists high-precision MEMS sensors at FOG performance level, medium and large IMUs, MEMS-class IRUs, stabilized optical sights, and star trackers among the intended test articles.

The outer-axis gimbal uses a U-shaped design for unobstructed optical access to the tabletop and includes a stow lock to facilitate safe loading and unloading of the UUT.

The manufacturer emphasizes a compact, low-weight, cost-effective architecture, user-friendly HMI in a 4U control rack-mount, and precise positioning and rate capabilities.

FAQ

FDA-222-ECOat a glance.

Answers based on the manufacturer datasheet.

How many axes does the FDA-222-ECO provide?
Two degrees of freedom: an inner roll axis and an outer pitch axis.
Do both axes support continuous rotation?
Yes. The parameter sheet lists continuous angular freedom for both the inner roll axis and the outer pitch axis.
What are the no-load rate ranges?
The parameter sheet lists greater than ±500°/s for the inner roll axis and greater than ±300°/s for the outer pitch axis.
What is the rated UUT weight?
25 kg, with the datasheet footnote specifying a centered UUT and CG less than 100 mm above the tabletop.
How can the system be controlled?
Position, rate, and acceleration control can be performed manually from the GUI or remotely through RS232/RS422. TCP/IP via LAN up to 1 kHz is listed as an option.
What is special about the outer-axis gimbal?
The outer-axis gimbal has a U-shaped design that allows unobstructed optical access to the tabletop and includes a stow lock to facilitate safe loading and unloading of the UUT.
How is the rate table aligned?
The catalog states that wedge levelers allow the rate table to be aligned in two directions.
