6DX PRO – 6 Degrees of Freedom Sensor Package

Product Overview

This product is designed for use with the DTS Software.

The 6DX PRO, manufactured by DTS is an Ultra-small 6 Degrees of Freedom Sensor Package.

World’s smallest, high shock tolerant six degrees of freedom sensor (6DOF) package. The low mass 6DX PRO-A includes three angular rate sensors, plus three accelerometers in a rugged enclosure designed for dynamic testing.

The 6DX PRO features three linear accelerometers and three angular rate sensors conveniently packaged in a compact, high-shock enclosure. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of dynamic test environments, the DTS 6DX PRO offers two range options. The 6DX PRO is ideal for in-manikin, cadaver and blast testing.

This Ultra-Small 6DOF Sensor package has been designed for applications measuring high rates of shock and angular velocity, the DTS 6DX PRO packages three accelerometers and three angular rate sensors in a compact and convenient 19 x 19 x 14.5 mm package.

Sensor Cables

Each sensor cable is 23 feet long and terminates to a single triaxial connector. Pigtail or adapter cables are available to support a range of termination options.
