Abstract

The paper describes an improved technology of quartz elastic system manufacturing for the gravimeters of Chekan series; its purpose is to automate the manufacturing processes of the elastic system elements to improve the work quality and performance. The elastic system manufactured using this technology has been tested on a bench and in field, and the results confirmed its compliance with the requirements set for the sensitive elements of modern mobile gravimeters.
