Dual-axis Tilt Sensor uses MEMS Accelerometer and Gyroscope
What do concrete and asphalt pavers, curb and gutter machines, tiling/trenching machines, pile-driving machines and railroad maintenance applications all have in common? They all have harsh operating environments and they need level sensors. With these and other leveling, angle sensing and tilt applications in mind, Sauer-Danfoss developed the PLUS+1TM-compliant CSS1000 slope sensor. For each axis, […]
