How MEMS IMUs counter the harsh industrial challenge?
Inertial sensors systems, often referred to as inertial measurement units (IMUs). IMUs provide machines with the ability to sense and respond to their external environment by helping them to detect acceleration, tilt, shock, vibration, and rotation.
Vibration sensing is becoming popular, and it’s also required by the ISO standards. Inertial sensors can detect changes in vibration frequencies caused by wear and tear on bearings, allowing preventive maintenance to be performed before total equipment failure can occur.
Autonomous machines are also becoming popular in the industrial market. Global navigation satellite system (GNSS) and inertial navigation system (INS) are commonly used to aid autonomous navigation for applications such as utility and agricultural drones, precision agriculture, and last mile delivery units. These devices are often exposed to harsh conditions such a high temperatures, high vibrations, and poor GPS visibility.
TDK Invensense's 3-axis accelerometer and 6-axis MEMS-based IMU modules are designed to help manufacturers with sensing vibration needs and deliver precise inertial measurements, even in harsh industrial conditions. These modules combine the functionality of several gyros and accelerometers in a single package, making them ideal for applications such as high-end GNSS/INS modules used in autonomous applications.
