News
Kaman Measuring announced the KD-5100+, a new version of the KD-5100 measuring system that includes upgraded circuit layout, ground connections, sensor connectors, diodes, and capacitors.
The KD-5100+ is designed around a Mil-PRF-38534 Class H proprietary hybrid microcircuit and dual channel signal conditioner with two precisely matched sensors per channel. In use, the two sensors are positioned opposite each other on the back of a fast-steering mirror (FSM). As FSM actuators drive the mirror, the KD-5100+ output signal is used to actively control mirror position.
The KD-5100+ offers a small package size and low power consumption. It features isolated signal and chassis grounds, and low outgassing components. Sensor and signal conditioner packaging can be customized for unique requirements.
