About us

LITEF is one of the leading companies in the development and manufacturing of navigation and
sensor systems. The company's expertise is based on German technology for mechanical, fibre optic and micromechanical inertial sensors.

This enables ITAR-free distribution of LITEF products around the globe.

Founded in 1961 and headquartered in Freiburg im Breisgau (Germany), LITEF’s product range includes sensors, inertial measurement units, attitude and heading reference systems, inertial navigation systems and inertial reference systems.

In close dialogue with the customer, specific product solutions are developed for measurement and navigation tasks with maximum precision and reliability requirements.

LiPAD®-100 gives real-time directions for quick alignment tasks in construction and mining.

The Drill-Pilot® NG provides orientation and position data for MWD and borehole surveying.

LCI-100N provides roll, pitch and true heading for quick and fast alignment tasks in mines.

Products & Services

LITEF provides unique product solutions for drilling, tunneling and geoapplications.

With LiPAD-100®, LITEF introduces an innovative and economical concept of a portable alignment device for precise survey, monitoring and alignment tasks. The compact, battery driven system contains the LCI-100N gyro compass and delivers accurate north direction, roll and pitch angle in a short time.

All systems are designed to highest safety standards, equipped with extensive built in tests and fully compensated output data.

The Drill-Pilot® NG is the newest generation of measurement-while-drilling navigation system.

It is designed to be used directly behind the drill bit and provides inertial propagated orientation, heading and position data for guided drilling and borehole inspection.

LiPAD®-100 the portable alignment device

LiPAD®-100 is a hand-held stand-alone system which
provides roll, pitch and north heading directions in real-time:
• Single person operation in small space environments
• No additional alignment equipment or survey setups
• Independent of temperature variation, vibration,
magnetic interference, and GPS signal
• Drilling rig alignment for construction and mining
• Injection and anchor drillings
• Geological survey and underground mining or tunneling tasks

Drill-Pilot® NG

The Drill-Pilot® NG is an inertial navigation system based on three fibre optic rate gyros and an accelerometer triad. Installed directly behind the drill head in the drill linkage, it supplies position and attitude data throughout the drilling process, facilitating continuous monitoring as well as rapid corrections to the bore.

The Drill-Pilot® NG can also be used as an ideal solution for the retrospective surveying of existing drill holes.

LCI-100N Fiber Optic Northfinder

The LCI-100N is a nav-grade gyro compass IMU based on three orthogonally mounted fiber optic gyroscopes and micro-electromechanical accelerometers.
The analytical software platform calculates roll, pitch and true North direction
by measurement of gravity and earth rotation.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

• Real Time Navigation
• Autonomous Mining Vehicles in underground and open pit mines
• Rail Track Geometry Survey
• Underground Heading Reference for drilling rig alignment
