Benefits
Mounting concept
•
The F99 Series incorporates a robust metal mounting bracket
with four screw holes and a sensor module, for separate and
flexible mounting
•
Integrated hex socket screw that enables the sensor module
to be used quickly and easily replaced without having to
remove the mounting bracket
•
A captive locking wedge in the bracket ensures optimum
distribution of forces in the event of machine vibrations
Simple mounting with a central screw
Adjustability
•
All F99 Series products can be adjusted by the customer
•
Filters and angle ranges can be adapted to suit your appli-
cation
Housing concept
•
Particularly suitable for applications under extreme conditions
and for outdoor applications
•
Water resistance and extreme shock resistance ensure a long
service life
Typical areas of application
F99 inclination sensor
•
Commercial vehicle sector
for leveling cranes, liftgates,
container-loading equipment, etc.
•
Construction machinery,
e.g., for monitoring the inclined position of excavators
•
Transport and loading units
for automatic horizontal alignment of
inclined positions
•
Solar power systems
for optimum solar tracking
•
Automobile production plants
for monitoring rotation during assembly
•
Rail and marine vessels
for ensuring equal loading
•
Metal processing
e.g., for monitoring the movement sequences of
stamping and pressing machines
F99 acceleration sensor
•
Wind power plants or large machinery
for shutting down when defined vibration values
are exceeded
•
Elevators
to control acceleration
•
Large plants
for status monitoring
•
Machines
for measuring vibrations
•
Robots and picker arms
to control acceleration
In short–what does your plant need?
Inclination…
Static value that is suitable for movement sequences that are not
subject to extreme changes. The static value for the inclination
is used for long-term monitoring of the machine to determine if
readjustment is required.
…
based on the example of a lifting platform
Continuous monitoring and leveling of the vehicle, working plat-
form, or overall system.
Acceleration…
Dynamic value that needs to be monitored in order to quickly
identify short-term dynamic influences on the machine.
…
based on the example of a lifting platform
To prevent a dangerous situation when the lifting platform is ex-
tended and may be influenced by a sudden gust of high wind.
This will permit early detection by the control system and read-
justment before a permissible inclination angle is exceeded.
