Are you looking for solutions that accurately measure Mass properties of complex objects?
We understand manual calculations for complex objects and assemblies are inaccurate. In the case of CAD software, it is difficult to model electronics, harnessings, pneumatics and details of procured parts. Besides, non-homogeneity of materials and uncertainty in dimensions cannot be accounted for. Conventional methods like the Trifilar Method for Inertia Measurement, String balance method for CG measurement and Method For Roll Inertia have low accuracy, safety and high cost issues. At Timetooth, we develop and supply custom machines to measure the mass properties of flying objects. The machines provide precise measurements of mass, centre of gravity, and moments of inertia which are prerequisites for efficient control of flight in motion.
Highly Accurate and Stable
The machines designed by our team focuses on high accuracy and stability.
Compact and Flexible Design
They feature a compact design and robust and durable builds with fixtures to accommodate various shapes and sizes of objects.
Key Usability and Safety Features
The machine is designed for easy and safe handling of objects and incorporates leveling and safety features.
Precise Data Acquisition
Sensors and data acquisition systems of high resolution and accuracy are installed.
Variable Ranging Data Measurement
Measurement of variable range of Centre of gravity and moments of inertia is possible.
User-friendly Graphical User Interface
The machine comes with a customisable software and report format with user friendly GUI and operation features enabling direct display of results.
Types of machines
We have the capability to build custom machines based on need.
→ Mass and Centre of gravity measurement (in all three axes)
→ Roll Inertia measurement (about a long cylindrical axis)
→ YAW and Pitch Inertia measurement (about radial axes)
