5Hz FREQUENCY RESPONSE

INS Advanced Stabilization upgrades ULTRA so the Lift axis can be stabilized faster and more accurately even during high amplitude deflections like ramps, rollings hills, ditches, and hard cornering. The added hardware augments the existing stabilization system and takes advantage of 2 gyros - one within the ULTRA Turret, and the new 9-axis unit mounted to the ULTRA Boom. This allows for precise arm correction and angle holding

 

3-part Performance Upgrade

New INS Firmware adds a fully adjustable tuning interface for optimizing Lift-axis stabilization to each application. Real-time monitoring of Stabilization Force, Stabilization Error, and Gyro Rate help users achieve optimal settings.

Expert-level adjustability.

 
 
 

Stabilization tuning can now be customized for every payload and scenario. Users can dial in familiar values like STRENGTH, STIFFNESS, FILTER, and DEADBAND. Stabilization performance is monitored in real-time so tuning can be adjusted on the fly.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE SENSOR FUSION

Precise stabilization starts with accurate, reliable data. INS Advanced Stabilization adds a rugged IP65 rated 9-axis attitude and heading reference system (AHRS) sensor to the ULTRA Middle Boom. The INS Sensor combines gyroscope, accelerometer, and magnetometer data with advanced Kalman filtering for accurate arm angle readings at 250 times per second.

 

1,000 WATT MOTOR

While the standard ULTRA Lift motor provides massive torque, it lacks the necessary speed for making aggressive angle corrections over difficult terrain. INS Advanced Stabilization upgrades the Lift motor with a unit 2.5x more powerful than standard.
