PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Ultra-accurate testing.Temperature-capable precision.

The FDD-221-TCM-ULA is intended for development, large-scale production, in-process testing, calibration, and final inspection of inertial components and instruments. The catalog specifically lists large IMUs, IRUs, AHRSs, and INSs belonging to FOG, RLG, and mechanical classes.

The platform provides two axes and two degrees of freedom: inner roll and outer pitch, together with a large closed-loop mechanical cooling temperature chamber. The catalog emphasizes user-friendliness and ultra-accurate applications. The outer axis uses a stow lock for safe UUT loading and unloading. Precision pre-loaded angular contact ball bearings permit load capacities up to 50 kg. Wedge levelers allow alignment in two directions.

Catalog fidelity note: values on this page follow the FDD-221-TCM-ULA Version F · August 2024 parameter sheet and product overview.
