Accurate tilt measurements under dynamic conditions

POSITAL has upgraded its Dynamic TILTIX inclinometers (tilt sensors) with enhanced signal processing algorithms, significantly improving their ability to provide accurate tilt measurements under challenging dynamic conditions. The new algorithms offer more reliable performance in complex multi-axis dynamic environments. POSITAL’s Dynamic TILTIX inclinometers are designed for reliable spatial orientation (tilt) measurements in machinery experiencing rapid motion, shock, and vibration. Their performance stems from a dual-sensor measurement system that combines micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) accelerometers with gyroscopic sensors. In addition to providing reliable tilt measurements, these instruments can also report accelerations and rates of rotation in three axes. Dynamic TILTIX inclinometers are available with several measurement ranges, including single-axis (up to 360°), dual-axis (±90°), or a combination of 180° around the X-axis (pitch) and ±85° around the Y-axis (roll). They provide an accuracy of ±0.3° and a resolution of 0.01°. The new generation inclinometers are programmable, allowing users to customize output characteristics to suit their specific operational needs. CANopen and SAE J1939 interfaces are supported. These inclinometers come in heavy-duty die-cast metal housings or in compact, cost-effective packaging made of fiber-reinforced plastic. Both options are available with highly effective environmental protection (up to IP69k) that shields internal components from dust, prolonged immersion and high-pressure water jets. Operating temperatures range from -40°F to 167°F (-40C to 75°C).
