iPEGASUS: Transfer Alignment System for Guns, Antennas, Construction Machines and Sensors on Ships, Helicopters, Airplanes, Land Vehicles
Best of class spatial transfer alignment system
Leading gyro based spatial Transfer Alignment Systems
Surveying & Aligning of Machine Tools, Communication and Radar Antennas, Weapon Systems, Guns, Pedestals, Navigation Systems, Fire Control Systems, Turntables, Construction Machines etc.
In recent years, the growing demand for high-quality standards and the continuous monitoring of precision have elevated the importance of spatial alignment across various systems and sensors. This includes the calibration of machining centers or robotic equipment or turntables, as well as the transfer alignment between inertial navigation systems (INS), weapons / guns, fire control systems, missile warning sensors, and the spatial alignment of telecommunication and radar antennas.
Therefore, iMAR provides the best-of-class spatial Transfer Alignment System iPEGASUS, a patented highly precise gyro based inertial measurement system, which provides a three dimensional attitude/heading information relative to a reference orientation with an accuracy up to 0.01°.
iPEGASUS is easy to use and it saves a plenty of time: No time consumimg education of the users is necessary and the execution of measurements is roughly 10 times faster than with optical methods. Users in workshops as well as in research labs are using legacy iPEGASUS-xP and its todays's successor iPEGASUS-RQT worldwide - now for more than 20 years.
A miniaturized version of iPEGASUS with mid class accuracy is iPEGASUS-LT with minimized size and integrated rechargeable battery.
In differential mode with two iPEGASUS systems also guns and radar antennas can be aligned on moving naval vessels, using iPEGASUS-RQT-DIFF.
iPEGASUS works without any external aids and is easy to handle for everybody, where only one single person is necessary for operation. Thus the measurement time for aligning or surveying is reduced dramatically compared to traditional laser or camera supported systems. iPEGASUS is a handy tool which generates up to 400 measurements per second, showing results on screen in real-time and which allows the generation of a measuring protocol designed for your application.
Picture: iPEGASUS, mounted on top of an anti-aircraft / anti-missile gun ("Sky Shield" of Oerlikon Contraves / Rheinmetall) during calibration phase of the gearboxes of the gun during manufacturing process). With the obtained measuring results, the deterministic deviations of the gearboxes and the total kinematic chain of the gun are fully compensated to increase the hit probability of the gun significantly.
iPEGASUS-xP and its successor iPEGASUS-RQT are the well-known reference for aviation and ship-building industries as well as for land vehicle manufacturers, weapon manufacturers as well as for paper machinery operators to solve challenging spatial alignment tasks within a fraction of time which is required by conventional optical methodes.
With iPEGASUS-LT additionally the true-north direction is provided and a rechargeable battery is included. It is used e.g. for 4G / 5G antenna alignment or antenna aiming (for precise direction and polarization, 0.15° absolute heading accuracy). Due to the gyro based operation iPEGASUS-LT can be even operated if optical tools are not applicable (e.g. in the night or at bad weather conditions). An integrated WLAN allows seamless integration in user's setup to transmit roll, pitch and yaw in real-time.
