Inertial Guidance Test and Calibration SystemOne-Axis AC130
The AC130 is a one-axis test table that was specificallydesigned to provide stimuli in the form of angular rates,
accelerations, and positions to angular sensors such as
gyroscopes, accelerometers and rate switch assemblies.
The AC130 features a very reliable closed-loop directdrive AC torque motor servo system consisting of a drive
assembly, a servo controller and power amplifier.

The AC130 is controlled by the ACUTROL®3000e digitalmotion control system which allows precise
measurement and closed-loop control of positions, rates
and accelerations. The system is commanded from atouch-screen operator interface or from a host computer
via a remote interface.
The standard table top and slipring configuration may betailored to the requirements of the testing or simulation
task. The system may also be used to satisfy the testingof single test units or multiple units during high volume
production testing. Temperature chambers may beprovided with the one-axis table or added at a later date.

The temperature chamber exposes the unit under test tohigh and low temperature extremes.
The AC130 rate tables are configured with high torque,
low inertia AC brushless drive motors and AC drive power
amplifiers. The AC brushless drive motors will provide
very high rate and acceleration performance without theinherent brush wear that occurs on brush-type servomotors.

All AC130 tables come complete with a single axis table,rack mountable controller, drive power amplifier (rackmountable for the AC130-80; integral to the controller
for the AC130-20), one set of mating customer
connectors, interconnect cables from controller to tableand documentation.
