New DSP-1760 Multi-axis Fiber Optic Gyro Offers Improved Performance and Maximum Ease of Integration
21 October 2013 - 10:00PM
KVH Industries, Inc., (Nasdaq:KVHI) is introducing the innovative,
multi-axis DSP-1760 fiber optic gyro (FOG) today at the AUSA 2013
Exposition in Washington, DC. The breakthrough design of the
DSP-1760, which combines 1, 2, or 3 axes of the world's smallest
high-performance FOGs within an easy-to-integrate housing, provides
both versatility and compact size. Depending on the application,
the best-suited combination of axes is integrated within an
environmentally sealed, lightweight enclosure, ensuring reliability
and durability for any installation.
One of the many attractive features of the DSP-1760 is that it
offers customers a choice of two interfaces, namely a 15-pin
Micro-D connector or a 13-pin circular bayonet connector. The
dual-interface capability creates a total of six product
configurations, with each one aimed at addressing the individual
end-user requirements.
"By making the DSP-1760 available in six different
configurations, we are providing maximum versatility for the most
challenging design projects," says Jay Napoli, KVH's vice president
of FOG/OEM sales. "Customers are getting the high performance of
the world's smallest precision FOGs and the consistent quality of
the optical fiber, which is manufactured by KVH. Other FOG
manufacturers can't match that kind of reliability."
The DSP-1760 offers exceptional performance in bias stability,
scale factor, and angle random walk. This high-bandwidth, extremely
low-noise sensor uses KVH's exclusive 170-micron E•Core ThinFiber,
the world's smallest D-shaped optical fiber. By reducing the
overall diameter of the fiber to just 170 microns (a 30% reduction
from KVH's original E•Core polarization fiber), the resulting
E•Core ThinFiber enables a greater length of fiber to be coiled in
a fixed-size bobbin, thereby dramatically increasing the accuracy
of the gyros.
With the DSP-1760's versatile configurations and its exceptional
performance, the product is ideal for a wide range of commercial
applications, such as mining automation systems that require highly
accurate navigation support; land, sea, or air manned and unmanned
platforms; pipeline inspection robots that need sensors for precise
location and identification internally to the pipe; and any other
hazardous environments where the end-user requires extremely
accurate angular data.
In addition, the DSP-1760 integrates magnetic shielding within
the gyro housing, providing improved performance in systems with
problematic magnetic environments, such as locations where there
may be large motors or transformers in operation, or large
commercial vehicles with high magnetic signatures.
