Colibrys and OxTS announce xOEMcore the first standalone IMU on offer from OxTS

OxTS Oxford / Colibrys, Yverdon-les-Bains, March 2015 - announced the launch of the xOEMcore IMU/INS, integrating high-grade MEMS sensors in a small board set package. “The inertial sensors we selected from Colibrys were ideal for us because of its long term bias stability and high reliability to build a compact IMU without sacrificing the performance that OxTS are known for” said Mr. Iain Clarke, Product Manager.

OxTS have announced their newest OEM offering to system integrators. The xOEMcore is the first standalone IMU on offer from OxTS, although the custom built system has been a major part of existing products like the xNAV series. However, always striving to innovate, the xOEMcore is no ordinary IMU. In addition to containing 6-axis gyros and accelerometers on a miniature OEM board set, the small IMU block also houses an on-board processor running the Kalman filter. This means users can get the raw IMU measurements like a standard IMU, or they can pair it with an external aiding device such as GNSS receivers and the xOEMcore will take care of the sensor fusion.

Colibrys precision MEMS inertial sensors are ideal solutions for Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and Attitude and Heading Reference Systems (AHRS) in the air, on land, on the sea and undersea, offering the specifications such as short term and long term stability, the reliability and the capability to work within specification under harsh environments. “Successful qualification of Colibrys MEMS accelerometer (M9000.D product family) by OxTS reinforces once again our recognition as a world leading of cost effective and high performance accelerometer supplier for inertial applications” said
Mr. Patrick Gougeon, Colibrys CEO.
