Success Story

Project Skyranger 30

Client
Rheinmetall AG
Type
Race Way Bearing

Overview

Changed conditions in the field of operations call for a close- and short-range protection system to defend against drones and protect troop movements. Such a system must combine high forces with maximum precision.

Development

IBO is involved in developing every bearing point on the turret. Our expertise in lateral rotary and swivel axes solved the requirements for mounting and positioning the drive gearing. Worth noting is the time pressure, which left no room for the usual project phases. Even so, IBO met every requirement in a single solution, drawing on its own knowledge of the overall application.

Result

The first prototype was tested and needed no product improvements. After the pre-series phase, our solution reached series production status.

    Project Lynx

    One component of the Main Sensory Slaved Armament (MSSA) is the stabilized electro-optical sensor system (SEOS). The bearings it uses are characterized by high rigidity and by consistent accuracy in both clockwise and counterclockwise rotation, because at a firing range of several kilometers every thousandth of a degree of deviation matters.

    Project RCH155 - FLW 100

    Experience from the war in Ukraine has shown that artillery is an essential capability. We worked on the development of the most modern artillery system available — the first gun able to fire on the move.

  • Project XM30

    This project is a flagship program for the OEM and continues IBO's work on the Lynx project. It is again a Main Sensory Slaved Armament (MSSA) system. The overall system is intended for the American market, so the project volume is much larger.

    Project Aviation Antenna

    Modern air travel means internet access at cruising altitude. The system that provides it needs extremely precise azimuth and elevation positioning. What makes it difficult is the combination of tight installation space and weight limits with the demanding environmental conditions of take-off, flight and landing.
