Fiber optic gyro productization at Alcatel SEL (Invited Paper)

The transition to manufacturing a single-axis rate sensor as the first IFOG product began in 1987. It included the design and development of semi-automated work stations for production and test. Up to now, 200 units have been produced and delivered. The gyro is based on a modular design that is also part of the qualification strategy. It gives the opportunity to offer an expanded line of single-axis and three-axis devices using the same modules for different package versions.
