Position sensors
Position sensors are a critical component of today's technology ecosystem, used in everything from autonomous vehicles and industrial robotics to navigation systems and wearable electronics. By accurately measuring position, motion, and orientation, these sensors enable precise navigation and stable motion control in real time. For companies working with IoT, industrial automation and autonomous systems, position sensors are a key factor in optimising performance and safety.
Position sensors - High precision navigation and tracking
In an increasingly automated world, position sensors play a crucial role in enabling accurate motion calculations and real-time navigation. From autonomous vehicles and industrial robots to navigation systems and wearable technology, position sensors are key to safety, efficiency and optimised performance. Our wide range of position sensors gives industrial, automotive, defence and IoT companies the tools they need to develop advanced, high-accuracy systems.
Geomagnetic sensors - Precise orientation without GPS
Geomagnetic sensors use the Earth's magnetic field to determine direction and orientation. By sensing magnetic changes in the environment, these sensors can operate without reliance on satellite signals, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor use where GPS coverage is limited. They are often used in autonomous systems, robots and navigation solutions where high accuracy and stability are required.
Examples of applications:
- Autonomous vehicles and drones to determine direction for navigation without GPS.
- Marine navigation systems for course finding in maritime transport and underwater vehicles.
Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) sensors - Advanced motion detection
IMU sensors are a combination of accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer that enable precise motion and position determination. These sensors can measure both linear acceleration and rotational velocity, making them indispensable for autonomous vehicles, robotics and wearable technology. By integrating IMU sensors into advanced systems, accurate position and motion can be predicted even in environments where external references are not available.
Examples of applications:
- Drones and autonomous vehicles that require balance and stable movement.
- Industrial robotics where accurate positioning of robot arms is necessary.
Digital compasses - Reliable direction and heading
Digital compasses are specialised sensors that use geomagnetic data to accurately determine direction. They are crucial in applications where GPS is unavailable or unreliable, such as autonomous machines, drones and defence applications. Digital compasses allow systems to quickly and accurately identify their position and adjust their course based on the surrounding magnetic field.
Examples of applications:
- Navigation systems in defence and industry where high precision is required.
- Autonomous vehicles and machines that need stable course and direction calculation.
