Down sized
High accuracy
Conforms to IMO performance standards
Compatible with IBS(Integrated Bridge System)
Locating directions on the high seas is fundamental to navigation. Our ancestors relied on the stars, but today we measure the direction aboard ship in the following ways.
- Celestial observation (the sun and the polar star)
- Magnetic compasses
- Electro-magnetic compasses
- Gyrocompasses
- GPS
The main features of the gyrocompass are:
- It correctly indicates the direction.
- It can serially output directional signals to other equipment.
- It can be placed anywhere.
- It is not affected by the ship's magnetic compass or other disturbances.TOKYO KEIKI Gyrocompasses
- Directional maintenance: The gyro continuously rotates maintaining a fixed direction.
- Precessional nature: Unlike normal objects, when force is applied to the rotational axis of a gyroscope, a revolving axis is created at right angles to the force. This revolving motion is called precession.
The directional maintenance exhibited by the gyroscope is in relation to the space of the universe, and to use it as a compass on earth it must have a "north indication effect". In other words, to make the gyro perpetually indicate north from anywhere on earth, one need only rotate the gyro in the same direction as the earth's rotation at a rate equal to the earth's rate of rotation (angular velocity) at that point. If you would like more technical information on how we apply the north indication effect (i.e. the"TOKYO KEIKI method") to our gyrocompasses, please contact us at TOKYO KEIKI.
