Seiko Epson Corporation (TSE: 6724, "Epson") has expanded its lineup of Inertial Measurement Unit 1 (IMU) equipped with a high-performance six-degree-of-freedom sensor with the development of the M-G370PDG ("M-G370G"). The M-G370G will go into mass production in July 2023.
First introduced in 2011, Epson's IMUs have been used in a range of customer applications, from precision agriculture (GNSS2) and industrial drones to vibration control and stabilization of cameras and antenna platforms, earning a strong reputation for superior performance and quality. Epson has a full line of IMUs, from basic models to high-spec models. All of this is based on a platform about an inch along the edge, which is a standard form factor for IMUs.
Like the standard and base models, the high-spec M-G370G allows the user to select an accelerometer output range of 8G or 16G and offers 005% of the full scale of the nonlinear gyro sensor. These features enable the new IMU to accurately measure all types of motion, from slow to fast.
By expanding and enhancing its lineup of small, lightweight, low-power one-inch platforms, Epson provides customers with more choice, enabling them to choose the product with the best features and performance based on their needs and applications.
Epson plans to exhibit the M-G370G at the "Maintenance and Resilience Tokyo 2023" (hosted by the Japan Productivity Association) to be held at Tokyo Big Sight from July 26 to 28.
Given the ongoing social and technological changes, Epson believes that the demand for precision sensors that can visualize information will only continue to expand. Epson will continue to leverage our innovative ideas of efficiency, compactness, and precision to provide small, lightweight, and low-power sensing systems that provide superior accuracy and stability, and make significant contributions to customers' products and services.
The 1-inch platform (24, 24, 10mm3) is backwards compatible with the M-G330 and M-G366, M-G370, M-G370S, greatly reducing customer development costs and evaluation time, and the user can choose the accelerometer output range in 8G or 16G gyro sensors, and the full-size range of nonlinear sensors is 005% Low current consumption: 16mA vibration damping for cameras, antennas, etc. Vibration, angle, trajectory measurement of unmanned vehicles (industrial drones, ground vehicles, marine detectors, etc.) industrial equipment, etc. Navigation systems (GNSS, INS4, high-precision locators), etc. 
1 Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU).
An IMU is a device used to perceive inertial motion. It consists of a three-axis angular rate sensor and a three-axis accelerometer. 2Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS).
A satellite system used to determine the geographic location of any part of the world3 nonlinearity.
The maximum deviation of the output of a gyroscope sensor or accelerometer from the approximate straight line of the input. It is usually expressed as a percentage of the full scale. 4 Inertial Navigation System (INS) 5 Gyroscope Sensors (Angular Rate Sensors).
Measure the angle of rotation (angular velocity) of an object relative to a reference axis per unit of time. 6. Prejudice is unstable.
The part of the Allan variance* that represents the horizontal (zero power) characteristic is called the bias instability. It is associated with 1 f noise and is one of the important indicators of sensor potential. 7 angles to walk randomly.
The part of the allan variance with a slope of -1 2 is called the angular random walk. Since there is a correlation with white noise, increasing the average time decreases the value at -1 2 of the mean time. Allen variance.
As an indicator of sensor performance, the allan variance represents the stability of the static output. The horizontal axis represents the average time of the data, and the vertical axis represents the distribution of the average time separated by the average time. It is known that the characteristic slope of the allan variance** is 2 and 1 power slopes, and the allan variance is related to the noise density, which is the frequency. Allan variance is an indicator expressed in time. The lower the value, the higher the stability and the better the performance.
