Planar and Wide Angle Range Measurement
Precision leveling and tilt angles measurement essentially involves simultaneous 2-dimensional planes rather than conventionally known as two independent single-axis. Digi-Pas® 2-axis intelligent inclination modules having high precision and wide measurement range are capable of providing real-time leveling, angular and vibration readings that empower application engineers to continuously measure and monitor machine/equipment/structure angular positional status precisely and speedily.
These small footprint, 2-axis, and high shock-resistant MEMS-driven inclination sensor modules effectively eliminate limitations associated with using multiple single-axis sensors or bulky pendulum/servo-based sensors to achieve precise 2D leveling and planar angular measurements. MEMS sensor contains no moving part and essentially requires little/no maintenance when compared to the pendulum-based sensor.
Vibration Measurement
Precision machines/equipment performances are sensitive to their own frame/structure vibration. Unleveled machine footings are one definitive source enabling additional vibrations during the machine is in running mode. For example, (i) blur images in image/optical capturing machines (such as cMM, CT Scan and MRI) deteriorate measurement accuracy, (ii) Vibration causes CNC machines to reduce production output yield. A typical machine's structural/frame vibrations are low frequencies. It is therefore vital to measure the machine's vibration frequency and magnitude during machine running to manage its accuracy performances. Pc Sync PRO software can capture vibration patterns from the Sensor module and real-time display on the Pc screen in a graphical format. Users may choose to save vibration data in an Excel file for further analysis.
Programmable and User-Definable System
Digi-Pas® 2-axis inclination sensor module system (Sensor Module + control Box + Pc Sync Pro Software) is designed as a development kit for application engineers who explore integrating sensor modules into precision machine/equipment/structure enabling them to instantly access angular positional readings and store data in Excel format, without the need for tedious and time-consuming programming. The angular measurement system enables user-defined settings to activate/control any external connected peripheral devices with ease.
Alternatively, highly experienced engineers/experts in sensors applications may use their own Low-level Programming codes to directly extract measurement readings from sensor module(s) without the need for using a control box and Pc Sync Software (i.e. Development Kits). Users can download Digi-Pas Dynamic-Link Library to integrate with their own higher-level programming codes to access sensors via control Box. Once familiarized with the system, users may proceed to remove the development kit leaving the sensor(s) directly connected to the user's application codings and the user's own hardware system.
Accreditation
DWL-5000XY Series Inclination Sensor Modules accuracy is verified by accredited 3rd party independent calibration and test bodies and National Metrology centre traceable to SI standard and NIST, JIS, UKAS and DIN under CIPM MRA.
