AMCORIS provides a range of Epson accelerometers designed to deliver accurate and stable motion data for applications spanning unmanned systems, robotics, defence and industrial automation.
As autonomous platforms become increasingly capable, reliable acceleration measurements are playing an important role in navigation, stabilisation, control and condition monitoring.
The company’s accelerometers provide linear acceleration measurements that can be incorporated into drones, robotic vehicles and higher-order Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) and Inertial Navigation Systems (INS). The range includes different measurement characteristics, communication interfaces and levels of environmental protection to support varied platform requirements.
Amcoris accelerometer lineup, M-A352AD10, M-A370AD10, M-A552AC10, M-A552AR10.
The Epson M-A352AD10 is a compact digital accelerometer designed for applications including industrial condition monitoring, tilt and inclination measurement, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) systems and robotics motion detection. With SPI and UART interfaces, it provides a practical option for integration into digital sensing and control architectures.
Within unmanned platforms, compact acceleration sensing can contribute to motion detection and monitoring while providing data for wider navigation and control systems. This can be particularly relevant to drones and robotic vehicles where size and integration requirements need to be considered alongside sensing performance.
For applications requiring precise motion measurement, the M-A370AD10 is optimised for vibration and inclination measurement. It provides a ±10g measurement range and 210 Hz bandwidth through SPI/UART connectivity, with recommended applications including platform stabilisation, robotics and motion control, autonomous navigation support, and structural health and vibration monitoring.
These capabilities can support unmanned systems that need to maintain stable operation while responding to changes in movement and orientation. AMCORIS’ wider unmanned systems offering includes technologies for applications such as drone flight stabilisation, autonomous navigation and gimbal control.
For platforms operating in more demanding environments, the M-A552AC10 combines a ±15g measurement range and 460 Hz bandwidth with CANopen connectivity and IP67 protection. The accelerometer is intended for precision georeferencing and mapping, industrial platform stabilisation, high-end robotics and automation, and geophysical monitoring.
Its CANopen interface enables integration into wider vehicle and automation networks, while IP67 protection provides greater resistance to dust and water ingress. These characteristics can be relevant to unmanned ground vehicles and other autonomous platforms requiring robust motion and navigation sensing.
The M-A552AR10 provides a similar ±15g range and 460 Hz bandwidth, but uses an RS-422 interface and is designed for reliable operation in harsh environments. Recommended applications include condition monitoring in heavy machinery, vibration and tilt sensing, and motion tracking in defence and security systems.
For defence-oriented unmanned platforms, accurate acceleration data can contribute to navigation, stabilisation and vehicle monitoring. This can become increasingly important as autonomous systems are developed for complex operating environments, including scenarios where conventional positioning information may be degraded or unavailable.
Across its accelerometer range, AMCORIS offers options covering different requirements for size, precision, connectivity and environmental protection. From compact sensing for drones and robotics to robust solutions for autonomous vehicles and defence applications, the range provides system designers with technologies for incorporating reliable acceleration data into increasingly sophisticated unmanned platforms.
