CUSTOM INSTRUMENTS

• Weight and Center of Gravity measurement of launchers and ships

This instrument measures weight and center of gravity of very large objects. It can be used to measure sections of launchers measuring several tons with weight accuracy of 10 kg, transverse center of gravity measurement accuracy of +/- 2mm and longitudinal center of gravity accuracy of +/- 5 mm. A heavier version of this system is available to measure weight and center of gravity of ships weighing 40 metric tons.

The most common version of this instrument has one fixed support and the other one is mounted on a rail system coupled to a precision locating system.

The instrument comes with custom made interfaces such as roller vees to automatically rotate the payload or specific boat interfaces to minimize the pressure applied to any point of the hull.

• CG and MOI instrument for payloads weighing 60 metric tons

Space Electronics is committed to improving mass properties measurement capabilities. We have been asked to study center of gravity and moment of inertia measurement instruments for various payloads weighing up to 60 tons. We have designed a series of high accuracy mass properties instruments that is scalable to these payload weights. Please contact us for more details.
