LiPAD-100 Gyro Compass
The LiPAD-100 gyro compass alignment device from Northrop Grumman LITEF GmbH combines superior accuracy with the fastest settling time and lightest weight in a rugged unit that can be safely and easily used one-handed. Where competitors can weigh up to 13 kg, the LiPAD-100 comes in at under 5 kg and has a start-up time of 5 minutes.
Ideal for obtaining reference directions for underground borehole surveys and other applications where high-accuracy alignment is required. It makes a perfect match for the Inertial Sensing range of borehole survey gyros, with the real-time data display making initial survey alignment a breeze even in vertical holes.
Typical applications:
Drilling rig alignment for construction and mining
Surface and underground drilling
Geological survey and exploration drilling
Injection- and anchor drillings
tunneling tasks
Orientation-depending sensor adjustment
Relative adjustment of wind turbine sensors or machine parts
