STIM318 is the newest IMU proposed by Sensonor. It is a tactical grade, non-GPS aided, 9-axis IMU containing three highly accurate MEMS gyroscopes, three single-axis accelerometers and two dual-axis accelerometers.
System Plus Consulting provides a full reverse costing study to give insight into technology data, manufacturing cost and selling price of the two high-end accelerometers integrated in the IMU: Safran Colibrys’s MS1010 and MEMSIC’s MXA2500M.
Safran Colibrys’s MS1010 is a single-axis accelerometer and MEMSIC’s MXA2500M is a dual-axis accelerometer.
A technology comparison between the Safran Colibrys MS1010 and VS1002 accelerometers on one hand, and MEMSIC’s MXA2500M and MXR7250VW accelerometers on the other hand, is included.
Also, a cost comparison between Safran Colibrys’s MS1010 and MEMSIC’s MXA2500M is included.
A full reverse costing dedicated to the technology and cost analyses of the STIM318 IMU is available in another System Plus Consulting report, namely: “Sensonor STIM318 IMU”.
