IM19
The original tilt-compensation reference
The module that effectively set the GNSS tilt-compensation bar. Over 100,000 units in active field service by 2023, integrated by 20+ surveying partners worldwide. Multi-jurisdiction patents and painless integration.
About the IM19
The FMI IM19 inertial module fuses MEMS sensor and GNSS RTK positioning data to deliver low cost, high-precision attitude measurement, with roll and pitch accurate to within 0.05 degrees.
This kind of accuracy has found IM19 widespread use in industrial applications such as tilt RTK surveys (where RTK poles need not be held straight vertical, as IM19 can calculate a virtual digital level at any tilt angle), agriculture machine automation, and dead reckoning.
