Epson IMU was first launched in 2011 and has been used in a range of customer applications, earning a reputation for its excellent performance and quality. In recent years, the use of IMU has expanded to fields such as unmanned system measurement, aviation, and underwater video photography. The demand for more accurate position and posture control is constantly increasing, and efficient agricultural production is a requirement for large-scale agriculture to manage food shortages caused by population growth and shortage of agricultural workers. Correspondingly, the demand for providing higher precision IMUs is increasing, which is crucial for attitude control and noise performance. Epson is developing a new IMU product, M-G370PDS, to improve attitude and vibration control in response to the demand for high-precision IMUs, in order to fill the gap in IMU demand and make its own contribution to the fields of automation and stability.

The angle random walk 2 (short-term output change) of M-G370PDS0 is 0.03 °/h, which is half of its predecessor and can more accurately detect very small changes in equipment and system attitude. Epson has also made certain improvements in noise, equipped with low noise, high-performance sensors to ensure that the sound emitted by very small changes in equipment and system posture will not be lost in sensor noise.

This IMU has a small size, light weight, and low power consumption, which can help customers make their products smaller and lighter. It has 6 degrees of freedom: three-axis angular rate and linear acceleration, and provides high stability and precision measurement capability with precision compensation technology. Various calibration parameters are stored in the memory of the IMU and automatically reflected in the measurement data sent to the application program after the IMU's power is turned on. The M-G370PDS0 reduces technical barriers that users can use by supporting universal SPI/UART functions for host communication. It introduces inertial measurement and minimizes design resources to achieve inertial motion analysis and control. The IMU has high stability, high accuracy, small size, and ultra-low noise, making it easy to create and distinguish applications in industrial systems in various fields, especially stable applications.

M-G370PDS features

The M-G370PDS has a very broad application prospect, such as drones, gimbals (universal joints; gimbals; balance rings), stabilizers, robots, engineering machinery, AGVs (automatic guided vehicles), AMRs (autonomous mobile robots), etc., all of which can showcase its strengths.
