Product catalog summary
Introduction
PosITAL has launched new versions of its TILTIX inclinometers designed for reliable tilt measurement in moving equipment. These devices integrate electro-mechanical accelerometers and gyroscopes to ensure accurate readings even under strong accelerations.

Key Features
  • Compensation of external accelerations for clean measurements during dynamic movements.
  • Protection up to IP69K.
  • Compact and robust die-cast housing with integrated T-coupler.
  • Wide temperature range from -40 to +85°C.

Innovative Algorithm
The TILTIX inclinometers utilize MEMS accelerometers that monitor gravity effects on a suspended mass. To counteract errors from equipment motion, electromechanical gyroscopes are added. This combination allows the inclinometers to function reliably on mobile equipment like construction machinery, mining equipment, and cranes.

Specifications
  • Resolution: 0.01°
  • Accuracy: 0.3°; 0.5° during dynamic movements
  • Internal cycle time: 5 ms
  • Measurement range: ±180° in two axes
  • Mounting: Horizontal or vertical
  • Supply voltage: 10 to 30 V
  • Shock resistance: Up to 100 g
  • Interface: CANopen (Profile DS-410)

Applications
The dynamic TILTIX inclinometers are suitable for environments with sudden movements, shocks, and vibrations, ensuring clean measurements are critical. They are ideal for use in construction, mining, and agricultural machinery.

Future Developments
Currently supporting the CANopen communications interface, future updates will include analog, SAE J-1939, and Modbus interfaces.
