Inertial measurement units (IMUs) detect the smallest linear and angular movements in all spatial directions. Their main areas of application are in navigation, autonomous robotics and industrial automation. Continuous loads, such as permanent vibrations in machines or vehicles, as well as changing operating conditions (temperature fluctuations) have a direct impact on performance and can affect measurement accuracy over time.
SPEKTRA LABS offers you manufacturer-independent calibration and testing services that ensure the highest precision and long-term reliability of IMUs. With accredited procedures, short turnaround times and tailor-made solutions, we ensure that your inertial measurement systems meet the requirements of your applications at all times.

Aerospace
IMUs provide navigation data for flight control systems, enabling aircrafts to maintain course and stability. In spacecraft, they ensure guidance and control during space missions.
Robotics and Exoskeletons
IMUs enable precise robotic movements and interaction with the environment. In exoskeletons, they stabilize the wearer and improve balance.
Vehicle Navigation
In land, air and water vehicles, IMUs provide real-time information on position, speed and direction of travel, making them a central component of modern navigation systems.
Professional Sports
IMUs track athletes' movements during training and competition, optimize performance analysis and reduce the risk of injury. They measure a wide variety of movements, from running strides to golf swings.
