It features all-new advanced durable vibration isolation material, with a resonance frequency in the higher spectrum, ensuring optimal performance in industrial and commercial drone operations.

Additionally, the Pixhawk 6X Pro boasts triple redundant IMUs and double redundant barometers on separate buses, providing unparalleled reliability. Powered by the high-performance STM32H753 Processor, the Pixhawk 6X Pro delivers exceptional processing capabilities, making it the ultimate choice for professionals who require precision and reliability in their UAV systems.

Advanced Vibration Isolation

Accurate sensor readings are vital for stable flight performance. The Pixhawk 6X Pro features an advanced vibration isolation system, effectively minimizing the impact of external vibrations on sensor data. This results in precise control, even in high-vibration environments such as those encountered in industrial drones.

Key Features

  • High-performance ADIS16470 Industrial IMU with high accelerometer dynamic range (±40 g), perfect for accurate motion sensing in demanding UAV applications.
  • All New advanced durable vibration isolation material with resonance frequency in the higher spectrum, ideal for industrial and commercial drone applications.
  • Triple redundant IMU & double redundant barometer on separate buses.
  • High performance STM32H753 Processor.
  • Modular flight controller: separated IMU, FMU, and Base system.
  • Safety-driven design incorporates sensors from different manufacturers and model lineups.
  • Independent LDO powers every sensor with independent power control.
  • Ethernet interface for high-speed mission computer integration.
  • Temperature-controlled IMU board, allowing optimum working temperature of IMUs.

Pixhawk Autopilot Bus

The Pixhawk 6X Pro adheres to the industry-standard Pixhawk autopilot bus, offering users exceptional flexibility and modularity in their UAV setups. This standardized bus design allows users to easily swap out the baseboard (also known as the carrier board) with any other board that follows the same Pixhawk standard. Whether you need to upgrade or customize your UAV for a specific mission, this feature ensures that your system remains adaptable and future-proof.

Holybro offers a wide range of baseboards compatible with the Pixhawk autopilot bus, catering to various needs and applications. These options include advanced boards integrated with companion computers like the NVIDIA Jetson Orin and the Raspberry Pi, enabling powerful onboard processing for tasks such as AI, computer vision, and real-time data analysis. By choosing the Pixhawk 6X Pro, users gain access to a versatile ecosystem of components, ensuring that their UAVs can evolve with their projects and remain at the cutting edge of technology.

Built for Demanding UAV Applications

Based on FMU v6X design, compact layout, built-in shock absorption, with IMU triple redundancy, constant temperature system. Support network port communication, interface side out, simple and beautiful installation layout, support PX4 and APM firmware, applicable to a wide range of models.

The Pro version uses the space-grade ADIS sensor, which has excellent seismic and temperature drift performance, making it ideal for industrial grade UAVs and oil powered aircraft.
