Angle and height measurement of the boom

Tippers
Angle monitoring during
loading and unloading “open/ closed”

Wheel loaders
Loading and discharge monitoring of bucket and boom “up/ down”

Alignment
Classical levelling
Mostly 2-axis
“Keep everything perpendicular”

Lifting platforms
Chassis and
platform levelling

(Truck-mounted) telescopic platforms
Mast and basket alignment

Vehicle cabins
Alignment of the driver’s cabin

Positioning
Advanced angle measurement
Often 2-axis
“Spatial positioning”

Cranes
Support and stability, boom and load monitoring

Drilling tools
Positioning and position control
Drill hole monitoring/
drill hole quality

Excavators
Depth and distance measurement
Run-dry monitoring

 

Static applications: non-moving applications with no or small influence of vibrations and/or external acceleration

Quasi static applications: applications with weak to medium influence of vibrations and/or external uniform acceleration

Dynamic applications: moving applications with medium to high influence of vibrations and external acceleration
