FFT GYRO 600

FFT GYRO 600 PRO

For bigger and heavier drones, with less aerodynamic interference and with the power of robotics.

FFT GYRO series 600 PRO

The new FFT GYRO 600 PRO can test bigger and heavier drones, with less aerodynamic interference and with the power of robotics, so you can automate your tests and put to the limit your multi-rotor UAV. The series 600 has been designed specially for medium to medium-large size multi-rotors. The system is ideal for: - Integrate UAV technology into a custom application for your clients. - Autonomous Vehicle company projects. - Develop and implement new concepts, mechanical designs, electronics and controllers. - Build a real scale prototype and test a new invention. Ask for the Series 600 or a custom build.

Overview

The system is a platform with 3 DOF. A multi-rotor can be attached to a base, which can hold different types and sizes of UAVs and align the geometric center to the center of rotation of the FFT GYRO, letting the vehicle move about it’s real geometric center, and not eccentrically. The structure is designed to allow free rotation about the main axes. The gimbals are equipped with slip rings, so there is no limitation in the rotation of the parts and the electrical connections. The system has three encoders and DC motors (optional). To measure the true roll, pitch and yaw angles of the drone, high-resolution magnetic absolute multi-turn encoders are used. And the DC motors can simulate external forces as disturbances, to perform validations of the robustness for the control laws, or to automate the calibration or validation phase. The gimbals are made of high-quality light and strong material, to reduce the inertia that might be added to the system and maintain the properties of a rigid structure.

Safe collision-free environment

Different types of drones can be attached to perform flight tests safely. Tune your orientation controller before an accident occurs. You can install this in a lab, a workshop to perform the test that you need to finish your projects.

Angular position measurement

High-resolution magnetic encoders to measure roll, pitch and yaw angles with high precision and no drift at all. Slip-rings allows absolute free rotation in the 3 DOF. Also, the encoders can be replaced with motors to simulate external forces.

High quality materials and electronics

Light and strong materials like aluminum alloys and carbon fiber, reducing extra weight to the vehicle. The system can be connected to MATLAB/ Simulink or any other platform, we provide you tools and support.

Product Details

  • Compatible with different types of multi-rotors, and sizes, from 450mm to 600mm rotor to rotor distance, or up to 1000 mm outer diameter. For bigger drones ask for a custom build.
  • Three degrees of freedom about the main axes, roll, pitch, and yaw angles.
  • Slip rings that allow free rotation about any of the Euler angles.
  • High-resolution magnetic absolute encoders, with multiple turns.
  • Mechanically balanced design, reducing any disturbance in the rotation dynamics.
  • High-quality materials like aluminum alloy or carbon fiber parts, strong and light to minimize extra weight and inertia added to the vehicle dynamics.
  • Sensing and control operation from MATLAB / Simulink or its own SDK.
  • The motors can be driven by current or voltage, so torque, rotation speed, or angular position control could be implemented.
  • Fully documented systems models and parameters.
  • Robust and heavy-duty machined components.
  • External aluminum frame, that can be customizable.

"In our group we work with quadrotors from different aspects of Control Systems where we have made different developments. With the FFT-Gyro we have been working on the experimental validation of fault detection algorithms in sensors and actuators in quadrotors. The system has helped us a lot since UAVs can be "flown" in the laboratory and has an easy-to-use software and data acquisition system that allows us to focus on our algorithms and not consume time in other practical aspects. We have received a very effective technical support from Eureka Dynamics and the new version of the FFT-Gyro already includes improvements based on the feedback we have given them. The results of our work are under review in high-impact journals. "

"We had been designing flight control systems for VANTs for a long time using orthodox techniques such as fastening the vehicle with loops at the ends or with expert pilots who were responsible for carrying out the flight tests. With the FFT-Gyro this process is very simple since tuning tests are carried out in a controlled and safe environment, in addition you can train the new pilots in the platform, thus reducing the risks involved in flying without previous experience. It is easy to test new controllers in the prototype, as well as the design of diagnostic systems and fault tolerant control because it has a built-in data acquisition system. In general, the Eureka-Dynamics gyroscope has become a vital equipment in the automation and control laboratory of our postgraduate program."
