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.
