TDK Tronics discussed with us its AXO314, a closed-loop digital MEMS accelerometer for high-dynamics industrial applications. “Uncrewed vehicles increasingly operate in harsh conditions with fastchanging temperatures, as well as high vibration, often due to combinations of fuel engines and electric VTOL motors,” said Pierre Gazull at Tronics Microsystems. “That means not only precision but also environmental robustness are crucial for maintaining stable inertial data output in such conditions. “The AXO314 accelerometer has a 14 g measurement range, which works well for UAV and UGV dynamics, and the fact that it operates with a closed loop, with the internal MEMS element staying as stable as possible – which is common in gyroscopes, but rare in accelerometers – means it has a very high level of linearity, which brings very high vibration rejection.” Almost all of Tronics’ MEMS devices are designed as closed-loop systems. The AXO314 in particular rejects vibrations as fine as 20 μg/g², and operates with a bias over temperature of 0.5 mg in noise densities of 15 μg/√Hz, and in temperature ranges of -40 C to 85 C. “Also useful in the same applications is our AXO301, which has a reduced range compared with the AXO314, but higher resolution. Less dynamic, inclination- or stabilisation-type applications could hence benefit more from the AXO301,” Gazull said. Sony exhibited at the event to showcase and discuss some of its foremost camera solutions for geospatial and other industrial UAV use cases. “Quantum Systems has just contracted a large number of our latest bespoke drone camera, the ILX-LR1, which we released last year,” said Christie Patel.
