Robust sensor for mobile machinery
23 August 2024
MOBILE MACHINES, such as aerial work platforms and loader cranes, and equipment with tough motion control applications demand robust sensors which deliver high precision and optimum reliability. To meet these challenges sensor specialist BAUMER continues to expand its range of options with the introduction of a new safety compliant inclination sensor the GIM600R.
The GIM600R sensor has been specifically designed to ensure maximum robustness combined with high measurement accuracy according to the latest standards (ISO13849-1:2023). The result is outstanding robustness and durability helping engineers simplify machine design, enabling higher performance in construction vehicles thanks to reliable measured values for static stability control.
Proof of this exceptional resistance was the result of demanding endurance tests resulting in an IP69K rating and guaranteed corrosion protection up to CX, along with further resistance to shocks, vibrations, dust, dirt and salt-spray ingress. Easy integration into machinery is assured thanks to redundant standard interfaces including CANopen and SAE J1939 along with an ultra-compact housing measuring 72mm W x 24mm H x 64mm H.
The freeware Baumer Sensor Suite can also be used for the GIM600R providing parameterisation in an intuitive dashboard, saving even more engineering time.
