Calibration of Inertial Measurement Units

Highest precision and reliability for your inertial sensors

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.

Application fields

In aerospace, IMUs are used to provide navigation information to the flight control system, allowing aircrafts to maintain their course and stability. They are also used in spacecraft to provide guidance and control during space missions.

In robotics, IMUs are used for motion planning and control, allowing robots to move and interact with their environment with greater accuracy and precision. They can also be used in exoskeletons to provide balance and stability to the wearer.

IMUs are used in navigation systems for land, air, and sea vehicles, providing real-time information on the vehicle's position, speed, and direction of travel.

In professional sports, IMUs are used to measure the movements of athletes during training and competitions, helping coaches to optimize their performance and prevent injuries. They can be used to measure everything from running gait to golf swings.
