Invacare Corporation has introduced an exciting new power wheelchair driving technology - the G-Trac™ electronic gyroscope module.
When added to the MK6i controller, this exciting new technology raises the benchmark for power wheelchair control and performance.
The G-Trac module improves both tracking performance and traction - without adding expensive Gearless Brushless GB™ motors.
Whether driving indoors at very slow speeds, or faster speeds outdoors, G-Trac technology adds a level of control for safe, consistent driving performance.
Side sloped terrain, whether slight or aggressive, is no challenge for the G-Trac gyroscope. It allows the driver to follow a straighter path with far fewer course corrections, preventing veering off course.
Negotiating changing terrain is often challenging, especially for drivers using alternative controls, such as a Sip-n-Puff. G-Trac technology makes it possible for these users to operate with improved safety with fewer veer corrections, which can result in enhanced independence, less fatigue, and less frustration.
G-Trac Electronic Gyroscope Performance: Drives a straighter path - reducing veer corrections needed. Improved tracking - even at very slow speeds. Drives consistent indoors, even when changing from smooth linoleum to thick carpeting or turning at very slow speeds. Drives consistent outdoors, even when changing from paved surfaces to soft ground. Improved control resulting from fewer course corrections for veer.
G-Trac Electronic Gyroscope Features: Can be used with Invacare's standard 2-pole and 4-pole motors. Available with MK6i expandable electronic systems. G-Trac can be enabled with standard programs in each of the 4 drives. Ability to disable in specific drives if required for training purposes.
G-Trac Electronic Gyroscope Application: Power wheelchair users with alternative driver controls such as head arrays, Sip-n-Puff systems, switch driving systems, chin controls, or short throw joysticks. Traditional joystick users with impaired hand control. Power wheelchair users who rely on latched driving modes for independence and function. Available as option on the TDX® series CWD power wheelchairs, Storm® series RWD power wheelchairs, and Power Tiger™ power wheelchairs.
The G-Trac module is an option in the configurator and on the price list. It is available on a broad range of Invacare power wheelchairs including the TDX SP, TDX SI, TDX SC, TDX Spree, Storm Series, Ranger X™, Storm Series Torque™ SP, and Power Tiger.
