PRODUCT OVERVIEW

High-dynamic motion.Precision slow motion.

The FDA-332-HDD is intended for development, production, 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 INSs, IMUs and IRUs belonging to the FOGs class, as well as stabilized optical sights and star trackers.

The product is designed around three axes and three degrees of freedom. The middle-axis gimbal uses a U-shaped design to provide unobstructed optical access to the tabletop, while the middle and outer axes use stow locks to facilitate the safe loading and unloading of the UUT. Precision pre-loaded angular contact ball bearings permit load capacities of up to 25 kg. All systems are supplied with the necessary interconnecting cables and mating connectors for customer interface. Using T-Nut levelers, the rate table can be aligned in two directions.

Catalog fidelity note: values and capabilities on this page are based on ACCUDYNA FDA-332-HDD, Version F - August 2024. Specifications are representative of standard systems and may be tailored for customer-specific requirements.
