Our gimbal balancing machines provide a mean to balance airborne cameras and sensors. This presents many key advantages such as reducing the power needed for torque motors as well as the size and weight of these motors, reducing camera jitter (which takes most of the burden off the stabilizing software). This results in lighter and more fuel efficient vehicles, which have a longer range and more loitering time.

Airborne Camera being statically balanced on a Gimbal Balance Machine This static balancing technology is a prerequisite for obtaining stable images, especially at high magnification. Achieve favorable SWAP (size, weight and power) conditions with small mass gimbals and torque motors. Expend less power making line of sight jitter corrections. Static balancing decreases the load on compression algorithms enabling lower bandwith transmissions.

Our mass properties instruments can measure weight, center of gravity, moment of inertia, and product of inertia of entire unmanned vehicles. Our unique MP series of instruments offer a particularly affordable instrument that combines weight, CG and MOI measurement in a single setup.

Underwater Vehicle on a KSR instrument We have tested all types of unmanned vehicles, from unmanned aircrafts to underwater vehicles. KSR and MP series are the instruments of choice for these applications. They can measure vehicles from a few grams up to several tons.
