DIS Sensors’ Dynamic inclination sensors are designed to be used in machinery with multiple axes of movement. As such, they are perfect for heavy mobile equipment in which measurement of characteristics such as pitch and roll is important.

For construction and agricultural equipment, the pitch and roll of a machine’s cab, along with auxiliary sensors on the boom, arm and bucket, is critical feedback for retrofitting a machine for autonomous controls. Centripetal forces from rapid rotation in most standard inclinometers can sometimes manifest itself as angular change. Finding a sensor that separates the rotary motion and external vibrations from the true pitch and roll is important.

The Dynamic inclinometer includes a series of algorithms that fine-tune the inclinometer for the condition. These algorithms can also isolate the external axis rotation from the actual angle with a smooth transition between off-axis and on-axis movement.

The photo shows an example of a comparison between a QG65 standard static inclinometer shown in green and a QG65D dynamically compensated inclinometer shown in blue. The Dynamic inclinometer clearly minimizes the effects of off-axis movement on the X and Y axis inclination outputs. Find out more at the company’s booth.
