Product catalog summary
Overview
The 3DM-GX3®-15-OEM is a high-performance, miniature Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and Vertical Gyro designed for OEM applications. It integrates MEMS sensor technology, including a triaxial accelerometer, triaxial gyro, and temperature sensors, with an on-board processor for static and dynamic orientation and inertial measurements.
System Features
The unit provides fully calibrated inertial measurements such as acceleration, angular rate, deltaTheta, and deltaVelocity vectors. It outputs computed orientation estimates, including Euler angles, rotation matrix, and quaternion. All measurements are temperature compensated and aligned to an orthogonal coordinate system. The system corrects for g-sensitivity and scale factor non-linearity and includes coning and sculling compensation.
Integration and Usage
The 3DM-GX3®-15-OEM is available as a starter kit with an IMU module, USB communication and power cable, software CD, user manual, and quick start guide. It is designed for easy integration with SDK and API support, offering precise inertial measurement and high-speed sample rates.
Applications
Applications include inertial aiding of GPS, unmanned vehicle navigation, platform stabilization, antenna and camera pointing, vehicle health monitoring, reconnaissance, surveillance, target acquisition, robotic control, and personnel tracking.

LORD PRODUCT DATASHEET OEM Miniature Inertial Measurement Unit And Vertical Gyro The 3DM-GX3® -15-OEM is a high-performance, miniature Inertial Measurement Unit and Vertical Gyro, utilizing MEMS sensor technology. It combines a triaxial accelerometer, triaxial gyro, temperature sensors, and an on-board processor running a sophisticated sensor fusion algorithm to provide static and dynamic orientation, and inertial measurements. Its form factor is ideally suited Features & Benefits • smallest, lightest industrial OEM IMU available • simple integration supported by SDK and comprehensive API • precise inertial measurement • high-speed sample rate & flexible data outputs • high performance under vibration Cost Effective • reduced cost and rapid time to market for customer's • aggressive volume discount schedule System Overview Accurate orientation and positioning under dynamic conditions such as: • Unmanned Vehicle Navigation • Platform Stabilization, Artificial Horizon • Antenna and Camera Pointing • Health and Usage Monitoring of Vehicles • Reconnaissance, Surveillance, and Target Acquisition • Robotic Control • Personnel Tracking The 3DM-GX3® -15-OEM offers a range of fully calibrated inertial measurements including acceleration, angular rate, deltaTheta and deltaVelocity vectors. It can also output computed orientation estimates including Euler angles (pitch and roll, rotation matrix and quaternion. All quantities are fully temperature compensated and are mathematically aligned to an orthogonal coordinate system. The angular rate quantities are further corrected for g-sensitivity and scale factor non-linearity to third order. The 3DM-GX3® -15-OEM architecture has been carefully designed to substantially eliminate common sources of error such as sensitivity to supply voltage variations. On-board coning and sculling compensation allows for use of lower data output rates while maintaining performance of a fast internal sampling rate. The 3DM-GX3® -15-OEM is initially sold as a starter kit consisting of an IMU module, USB communication and power cable, software CD, user manual and quick start guide. The circuit board form-factor provides thru-holes for mounting on larger circuit assemblies and custom TTL communication and power cables can be user fabricated or purchased from the factory. triaxial gyros triaxial accels sensor signal calibration data user settable Silver Level Winner LORD MicroStrain® SENSING SYSTEMS
