Rate-of-Turn Gyro
The rate gyro is an aid for steering and manoeuvring of
seagoing vessels.
The gyro element is a component of the well-proven Anschütz
gyro technology and thus a guarantee for reliability, precision
and long life; developed for round-the-clock operation.
The use of the most modern microprocessor technology for
internal process and signal treatment makes the rate-of-turn
