Gyro Compass
A gyro compass is a navigation instrument that determines true north by using the principles of a fast-spinning gyroscope and the Earth's rotation. Unlike a magnetic compass, it is unaffected by magnetic fields, making it highly accurate for maritime applications. Gyro compasses provide continuous heading information to integrated systems such as autopilots, radar, and ECDIS, ensuring precise course control and safe navigation.
Anschutz Std 22NX
The Standard 22 NX is a high-precision gyro compass designed for exceptional reliability and operational safety under the harshest maritime conditions. It delivers true heading information unaffected by magnetic interference, making it ideal for all types of vessels, including high-speed craft. Featuring advanced sensor technology, inductive and optical data transmission (eliminating slip rings), and a robust design resistant to shocks and vibrations, it ensures long-term accuracy and minimal wear.
The system supports multiple interfaces such as serial, Ethernet, and Bridge Alert Management for easy integration and configuration via a built-in webserver. With quick settling time (about one hour), long maintenance intervals (18–24 months), and compliance with IMO standards, the Standard 22 NX offers outstanding performance and low lifecycle costs for both new builds and retrofits.
