Zupt Gyro Box: Precision Attitude Measurement for Offshore Wind

Leveling transition pieces (TPs) for offshore wind turbines requires precision, efficiency, and reliability. Zupt's Gyro Box (ZGB) delivers all three, providing real-time, high-accuracy heading, pitch, and roll data in a compact and robust package designed for offshore operations.

Streamlined Deployment. High-Performance Results.

At the core of the Gyro Box is a defense-grade inertial measurement unit (IMU), enclosed in a durable IP67-rated housing. The system is lightweight and compact enough to be deployed by a single crew member using a small boom crane. Once positioned on top of the TP, the ZGB immediately begins supplying real-time attitude data to support critical leveling operations.

Its innovative crossbar design features two 1-meter baselines with integrated reflective prisms. These enable precise dimensional control even when the unit is mounted out of direct site from the TP flange. As long as the prisms remain tied to the same reference frame as the flange, the unit's flexible placement maintains measurement accuracy.

Built for Offshore Wind

The Gyro Box is the result of over 20 years of Zupt's experience in inertial technology. Every feature is engineered specifically for the offshore wind environment, from weather resistance and ease of handling to built-in system redundancy.

Performance Specs That Matter
