Tokyo Keiki Tokimec PR 6000 Autopilot Used Heading Control Unit

The Tokyo Keiki PR-6000 is a high-performance heading control system designed for everything from medium-sized cargo vessels to massive tankers and container ships. It utilizes advanced control algorithms to provide stable steering in any sea state, significantly reducing the "yawing" of the vessel and optimizing fuel consumption.

Known for its distinct analog-meets-digital interface, the PR-6000 provides clear, reliable data through a combination of digital heading readouts and a traditional cardinal control disk. It is engineered as a modular system, allowing it to interface seamlessly with Tokyo Keiki (Tokimec) TG-series gyrocompasses and a wide variety of steering gear types, making it a versatile backbone for any professional bridge.

Key Features:

Advanced Course-Pilot Logic: Features sophisticated adaptive control that minimizes rudder movement, reducing mechanical wear and lowering hydrodynamic drag for fuel savings.
High-Reliability Architecture: Built with industrial-grade components designed for 24/7 operation in the harshest deep-sea environments.
Flexible System Integration: Easily connects to Tokyo Keiki TG-6000 or TG-8000 gyrocompasses and is compatible with most modern ECDIS systems for Track Control (Category B).
Dual-System Redundancy: Often configured as a dual-autopilot system to meet the safety requirements of oil tankers and chemical carriers.
User-Centric Controls: Combines the tactile feel of a traditional course-setting knob with a digital interface for precise 1-degree or 10-degree adjustments.
