April 18, 2016  1283  1283 Bookmark   

Siko announces the launch of the new SIKO Inclinometer IK360L, capable of working under the roughest and toughest of conditions.  The unit conforms to protection classes IP68 and IP69k and is protected against access with a wire as well as being dustproof.  It is also protected against permanent immersion and infiltration by water under high-pressure and vapour steam cleaning (i.e. road vehicles). 

The unit is housed in a PBT fibre-glass, reinforced casing and is easily installed with a 3-point mount. The unit compensates for temperature, operating between -40° to +85°.  The unit can also operate within a lateral deviation of +/-45°.

SIKO’s Inclinometer IK360L features a compact one-axis inclinometer with integrated electronics and a system accuracy of +/-0,5° (-10…+40°C).  One axis is 0 - 360°; two axis:  +/- 80°.  The resolution: 0,01° and has a response time sensor of 10 ms (without filter).  The different interfaces available are

RS-232+I, RS-232+U (0…10 Volt) or CANopen (bus-compatible).  Programmable parameters are Resolution, Preset, Software filters.  It also features a ‘Teach-In’ function that measures range, zero point or measurement direction.

 SIKO’s Inclinometer IK360L finds application in mobile automation:

  • ensuring the horizontal position of the workman’s basket or fire brigade engines
  • monitoring of the levelling of vehicles with tracks (construction) to avoid overturning
  • Position measurement of the shovel of dredging vehicles
