Rugged Solid-state Gyro on Show

Silicon Sensing (UK) is attending Ocean Business for the first time this year to market its rugged CRS09 solid-state gyro as a cost-effective and reliable solution to a range of underwater and surface requirements.

The unique, vibrating ring structure of Silicon Sensing Micro Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) gyros - means CRS09 can offer high-grade, low-noise navigation and attitude measurement, even in extreme conditions, at a cost that is substantially less than comparable performance ring laser gyros (RLGs) and fibre-optic gyros (FOGs).  

Among the broad range of potential uses for the CRS09 gyro are: orientation of remotely operated underwater vehicles; dynamic positioning of anchored drilling activities; stabilisation and location of surveying and pipeline inspection equipment; structural monitoring and stabilisation of surface platforms; incorporation into severe environment Attitude and Heading Reference Systems (AHRS).  

Andrew Derbyshire, Business Development Manager at Silicon Sensing commented: “CRS09 performance has brought significant cost and performance benefits to a range of operators across the transport and industrial sectors where accurate gyro measurements are critical to successful deployment. We are now using this experience and strong track record as we explore and address the varying needs of those operating in this most testing of environments.”
