Pepperl+Fuchs announces portfolio expansion

May 8, 2019 By Mike Santora

F199-inclination-sensor-HighRes

The new F199 from Pepperl+Fuchs is optimized for high-accuracy inclination measurement. Like other inclination sensors, the F199 provides measurement feedback of the angle tilt of machines or machine elements relative to gravitational force. But where standard sensors reach their limits because of inaccuracy, the F199 is the ideal solution. The F199 precisely measures angles from 0 to 360° with […]

Sensor fusion inclinometer for itch, yaw, and roll feedback

July 18, 2018 By Mike Santora

JOR520-Joral-SGAM-product-image

Joral LLC announces a G-force compensated inclinometer that provides feedback for pitch, yaw, and roll. The new technology uses sensor fusion, which is the combining of more than one complementary sensing method. The new Joral SGAM and DGAM incline sensors take input by a gyroscope, accelerometer, and magnetometer to provide a 3-axis output for X, […]

How do sensors make a smart crane safer?

May 30, 2018 By Randy Frank

Watching a crane operator elevate and transport a heavy load over a significant distance to a precise location with an articulated crane is always a fascinating and thought-provoking activity. With today’s concerns about job safety, how is safety handled in this process? Safety begins with the skill of the crane operator but today’s sensors and […]

What functions do sensors provide to drones?

November 29, 2017 By Randy Frank

Depending on the type of drone and its function, there can be a few essential sensors or an extensive number of sensors on board. Whether the drones are civilian or military craft, the sensors fall roughly into three categories: Make Them Fly, Make Them Work and Diagnose & Prevent Problems. Make Them Fly An inertial […]

Inclinometers guarantee reliable tilt measurements for mobile machines

March 10, 2017 By Aimee Kalnoskas

POSITAL has introduced new versions of its TILTIX inclinometers that can provide reliable tilt measurement for moving equipment. These new devices use a combination of electro-mechanical gyroscopes and accelerometers to provide accurate measurements, even if the instruments are subject to strong accelerations. POSITAL’s TILTIX inclinometers rely on monitoring the effect of gravity on a tiny […]
