The "Great Role" of Inclinometers in Material Handling

In modern industrial production, material handling is one of the key links in manufacturing. Whether it is metallic materials, non-metallic materials or composite materials, their processing, transportation, storage and other processes all require precise control and monitoring. The IADS tilt sensor, as a high-precision sensor device, has received extensive attention and application in the field of material handling in recent years. It can monitor parameters such as the tilt angle and position changes of materials in real time during the processing, providing strong support for the automation and intelligence of the production process.-Material processing transducer

Working principle of the tilt sensor

The tilt sensor is based on ion-assisted deposition technology. It achieves high-precision angle measurement by depositing a special thin film material on the sensor surface. When the sensor is tilted due to external force, the stress distribution inside the thin film material changes, thereby causing changes in its electrical properties. By precisely measuring these changes in electrical properties, the tilt angle of the sensor can be calculated. This sensor has the characteristics of high precision, high sensitivity, strong anti-interference ability, etc., and can work stably in complex industrial environments.

Application fields of tilt sensors in material handling

1. Material processing

During material processing, such as metal cutting, sheet metal stamping, plastic molding, etc., tilt sensors can be installed at key parts of processing equipment to monitor the tilt angle and position changes of the equipment in real time.

2. Material transportation

During material transportation, especially for large or fragile materials, stability is crucial. Tilt sensors can be installed on transportation vehicles or devices to monitor the tilt angle and vibration of the materials in real time.

3. Material storage

In the material storage stage, tilt sensors also play an important role. For materials that need to be stored vertically or horizontally, such as wires, sheets, pipes, etc., sensors can be installed on shelves or storage racks to monitor whether the storage posture of the materials meets the requirements in real time.

Advantages of Tilt Sensors in Material Processing

1. High Precision Measurement

Tilt sensors can achieve highly accurate angle measurements, typically with an accuracy of 0.01° or even higher. This high precision measurement capability enables them to meet the strict requirements for angle and position control in material processing. For instance, in high-precision optical material processing, it is necessary to strictly control the angle and position accuracy of processing equipment to ensure the surface quality and parallelism of optical components. The high precision measurement function of tilt sensors provides reliable support for such high-precision processing.

2. Real-time Monitoring and Feedback

Tilt sensors can monitor the tilt angle and position changes of materials in real time during processing, transportation, and storage, and feed the monitoring data back to the control system in real time. Based on these data, the control system can promptly adjust the operating state of the equipment or issue an alarm, thereby achieving dynamic control and management of the material processing process.

3. Strong Anti-interference Ability

There are various interference factors in material processing, such as electromagnetic interference, vibration interference, and dust interference. Tilt sensors use ion-assisted deposition technology, and their internal structure and measurement principle give them strong anti-interference capabilities. Even in complex industrial environments, the sensors can stably and accurately measure angle and position changes without being affected by external interference. This anti-interference ability enables tilt sensors to work reliably under various harsh working conditions, providing strong support for the automation and intelligence of material processing.

Tilt sensors can significantly enhance the efficiency and quality of material processing, transportation and storage through high-precision angle measurement and real-time monitoring functions. With the continuous advancement of technology, tilt sensors will develop towards higher precision, smaller size, lower power consumption and greater intelligence, and will be deeply integrated with other advanced technologies to provide stronger support for the automation and intelligence of the material handling industry.
