In many applications, angles of inclination have to be measured to ensure the function of machines and systems and to control processes.
The HIT 1500 measuring systems are single or double axis measuring systems for the detection of the inclination with regards to their horizontal plane. The HIT 1500 family has been especially developed for the detection of the inclination inside of dynamic systems.
The inclination signal is calculated in quasi-static condition, based on a 3 axis acceleration sensor using MEMS technology (Micro-Electro-Mechanical System). An additional gyroscope is provided for the calculation of the inclination in the dynamic system. A motion compensated inclination signal is calculated by fusioning the two physically independent signals of acceleration and gyro. In addition to the inclination signals, the acceleration and gyro values are also available in all 3 spatial axes. The application developer is provided with a higher degree of freedom which can be used for the optimisation of control processes in the machine control.
Many applications depend on inclination angle measurements in order for machines and systems to work properly and for managing processes.
The HIT 500 measuring system family consists of double-axis measuring systems for the detection of the inclination related to the horizontal plane. The HIT 500 family has been developed for the detection of the inclination in dynamic systems. Based on a 3-axis acceleration sensor in MEMS technology (Micro-Electro-Mechanical System) the inclination signal is calculated in a quasi-static state (at rest).
A gyro sensor is also available for calculating the inclination in the dynamic range. By merging the two physically independent signals acceleration and gyro, a motion-compensated inclination signal is calculated. In addition to the inclination signals, there are acceleration and gyro values also available as signal values in all 3 spatial axes. These signals offer the application engineer additional flexibility, which can be used for the optimization of control functions in the machine control system.
