Biaxial Inclinometers suit automation applications.
Press Release Summary:
Offered with measuring range of ±5°, 15°, or 30°, AnguSens inclinometers are manufactured in IP66 metal housing and incorporate customizable filters along with microcontroller. Sensors feature 3-point support on casing for safe hold and come equipped with RS232 or CANbus interface combined with analog output for current, voltage, or PWM. Internally, incline is measured 100 times/sec, filtered, and output at 10 readings/sec.

Robust and Versatile: High-Precision 'Angusens' Inclinometers
FRABA Inc. presents the release of a new generation of compact, biaxial inclinometers with a measuring range of ± 5, 15 or 30 degrees. Housed in an IP66 metal housing, "AnguSens" inclinometers are designed to operate smoothly in tough environmental conditions such as construction and crane applications. A powerful microcontroller ensures accurate processing of all readings: internally, the incline is measured 100 times per second, filtered and put out at a rate of 10 readings per second. High internal processing speed and customizable filters qualify the sensors for a wide range of automation applications. For easy installation, especially on non-planar surfaces, the sensors feature a three-point support on the casing which offers a safe hold and thereby ensures reliable measuring.
The sensors come equipped with a RS232- or CANbus interface combined with an analog output for current, voltage or pulse-width modulation. A version offering 2 switching outputs emulating tilt switches is also available. All CANbus models support the CANopen device profile DSP-410 for inclinometers. They are parameterized either by bus or directly on location via DIP switches. A model with a Profibus interface is currently being developed.
Company background
FRABA Inc. and FRABA POSITAL GmbH are highly specialized manufacturers of absolute rotary encoders and inclinometers. The companies belong to the FRABA group which dates back to 1918, when its predecessor Franz Baumgartner elektrische Apparate GmbH, a producer of relays, was established. Today, the group consists of six independent companies that develop and produce industrial sensor technology and safety equipment.
