PR-6000 is an advanced automatic steering control system for maritime application. It comes in many configurations, including the single line, dual line, and PID configurations, to offer options in steering control. Gyro compass is either independent or integrated, with many configurations to fit various types of ships. The system is made up of various power units with which it interfaces, such as torque motor control, solenoid valve control, and electric motor systems. As robust and simple to operate as engineered, the PR-6000 introduces improved functionality and safety into navigational systems implemented in the maritime sector.

Flexible configuration options- Available with different gyro compass types
Compatible with multiple power unit configurations
Designed for maritime use
Easy integration into existing systems
