Tactical-Grade Inertial Sensors for GNSS/GPS-Aided Navigation

LORD Sensing's 3DM-RQ1-45 GPS/INS is a ruggedized, tactical-grade inertial sensor for a variety of applications, including highly accurate navigation of manned and unmanned vehicles and for precise camera/antenna pointing. Its durable aluminum enclosure is proven to meet DO-160G for deployment in harsh environments, and the sensor is fully calibrated, temperature compensated, and mathematically aligned to an orthogonal coordinate system for highly accurate outputs, with better than 5°/hour gyro bias instability.

The 3DM-GQ4-45 offers the same high accuracy at a lower price point, for applications not requiring a ruggedized enclosure. The multi-constellation GNSS receiver (GPS/QZSS, GLONASS, BeiDou) enables improved position outputs.

Like the RQ1, the GQ4 is fully-calibrated and temperature compensated. Both sensors feature dual onboard processors running a sophisticated Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) for excellent position, velocity, and attitude estimates. They are compact and lightweight with a low profile for simple installation into your application, and they each include software, drivers, and iron calibration tools for immediate deployment.

Hammer Union Pressure Transmitters for Hydraulic Shale Fracturing

In the harsh and high-pressure environment of hydraulic fracturing in shale oil and shale gas formations, durability, performance, and reliability are key. Field equipment failures can create a serious safety hazard to workers and also cause significant downtime, which wastes precious resources. LORD Sensing’s hammer union pressure transmitters are designed specifically to meet the industry’s demands.

LORD Sensing hammer union pressure transmitters feature a number of vital design components, including all-welded construction to ensure against fastener failures, an extra rugged bolt-on receptacle and shell to prevent electrical failure, and an inherent high immunity to shock, vibration, and EMI/RFI interference. more

 

 

LORD Sensing-MicroStrain Earns AS9100C Certification

LORD Sensing-MicroStrain recently received AS9100C Quality Systems Certification from SAI Global. This will complement our current certification to ISO9001:2008. AS9100 is similar to ISO9001 Quality System Standard but is tailored to the Aerospace industry. The requirements in AS9100 add additional requirements including: 

  • Planning for product realization. This planning activity includes additional requirements for project management, risk management, configuration management of the products, and control of work transfers
  • Additional focus on Verification of product design and Validation of the end use when available.  
  • More emphasis on material traceability through the entire supply chain
  • Process Risk Management. More focus on measuring, monitoring and improving the risk of processes involved with delivering quality product on time.

With our AS9100C certification, LORD Sensing-MicroStrain joins LORD Sensing-Stellar Technology, who has also achieved this prestigious industry standard. more
