The marine autopilot receives signals from directional sensors such
as the gyrocompass and uses them to automatically control the helm for
navigation.
The history of the TOKIMEC marine autopilots dates back to 1925 with the
development of the P1 single pilot and the P2 single pilot. Later TOKIMEC
integrated the gyrocompass into the autopilot unit("GYLOT") and also developed
the "Navigation Console" with radar and other navigational instruments
all built in. The performance and reliability of these products obtained
the overwhelming support of the marine market. Today, TOKIMEC offers the
following series of autopilots. |
