Analog Devices' Inertial Sensor Reduces Cost And Complexity Of Industrial Motion Control Designs

ADI’s ADIS16365 sensor offers better bias stability and more power efficiency, while reducing implementation time for high-end navigation systems by up to one year.

Analog Devices is expanding its i Sensor intelligent sensor product family with a new six-degrees-of-freedom (6 DoF) inertial sensor. The ADIS16365 IMU (inertial measurement unit) combines high-performance, simplicity, and an improved data interface that delivers faster response times and lowers power consumption relative to other IMUs in its class.

Improved GPS Navigation
The ADIS16365 can be used anywhere high-performance motion control and feedback is required. In vehicles that rely on GPS satellite navigation to maintain accurate position information, such as high-end agricultural equipment, the IMU enhances their performance by immediately detecting small shifts in the position of the GPS antenna due to rough terrain.

This allows for real-time signal correction and provides the highest degree of heading accuracy. Additionally, a vehicle-mounted camera or a factory automation robotic arm can rely on the ADIS16365’s fast response time and excellent stability to maintain ultra-fine resolution even under erratic conditions.
