- Dynamic measurement of the angle position of moving machine parts in real time, highest precision due to unsurpassed signal quality, high resolution, minimum following error, machine control, and use of assistance systems with maximum dynamics, control, and safety

The reliable, precise and fast measurement of the angular position of moving machine parts in real time is the key to maximum dynamics, control and safety.
The GIM700DR enables this position measurement with the highest dynamics and precision through unsurpassed signal quality, robustness, high resolution and minimal following error.
This is resulting, compared to conventional inclination sensors, in increased efficiency, reduced wear and improved ease of use.

For maximum reliability and optimal motion transmission, the GIM700DR is mechanically mounted with robust M6 screws. Only a flat, sufficiently large surface is required. Further interventions in the mechanics are no longer necessary.
Durable and robust M12 connectors for extreme outdoor conditions ensure that signals and data are transmitted safely and without interference, even under high mechanical and chemical stress caused by temperature changes, dirt, shock and vibration.
Thanks to plug and socket connections on the sensor, bus cabling and power supply can be looped through several bus participants.

Vibrations and shocks on the machine part during inclination and acceleration measurement can lead to errors and falsification of measured values.
Digital frequency filters (low-pass, band-pass) can make a decisive contribution to specifically eliminating the influence of interferences.
Signal processing in the sensor frees the machine control system from time-consuming, computationally intensive tasks.
The frequency filters can be configured quickly and easily, precisely for the specific application.

Due to optimized material selection and highly resistant coatings, Baumer encoders and position sensors are specially designed for use in corrosive environments.
This makes them ideally suited for permanent outdoor use, especially in mobile automation, off-highway applications, nearshore and offshore applications.
Their corrosion protection is validated by extensive salt spray tests and corresponds to the highest corrosiveness category CX according to the standards EN 60068-2-52 and EN ISO 12944.

Tilt sensors measure the inclination angle of an object relative to the gravity of the earth without contact.
Thanks to the use of highly developed capacitive MEMS technology, tilt sensors are very precise and extremely robust, even in harsh environments.
One-dimensional sensors measure the inclination of an axis in the range of 360°. Two-dimensional sensors simultaneously measure two axes up to a maximum of ± 90°.

Baumer tilt and acceleration sensors use sensor elements based on capacitive MEMS technology (micro-electro-mechanical system).
Compared to alternative technologies, capacitive MEMS sensor elements exhibit the advantage of a small size, no moving parts and high cost-efficiency, as well as the highest reliability under the harshest conditions.
The capacitive MEMS sensor elements used by Baumer are especially qualified for the tough application in industrial and mobile automation, while their long-term availability is assured.
