Inclinometer with CANopen + SAE J1939 Interfaces

POSITAL inclinometers are available with two separate sensor types. The first is a high-resolution model that incorporates electrolytic fluid cells to very precisely determine absolute angle. The relative capacitance between two pads in the cell determine the inclinometer's angle with respect to level fluid. Secondly, with the ACS line POSITAL offers inclinometers with a high-range sensors that is based on a Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS) device. This type allows for a wider range. Both are packaged in our environmentally robust, industrial housing.

POSITAL MCD Absolute Rotary Encoders are available with J1939 as well

About FRABA:

The FRABA Group, as one of the leading manufacturers of high technology sensor and safety systems for industrial automation, is committed to excellence in quality and customer service. The headquarters are located in Cologne, Germany. The US subsidiary, FRABA Inc., began operations in summer 2000 to better meet the growing needs of the American encoder market. It is currently located in Hamilton, NJ. Additionally in 2009, FRABA Pte opened in Singapore, thereby providing total global support.

With the POSITAL product range, FRABA strengthens their leadership in absolute encoders, which they have developed for over thirty years. The POSITAL encoders utilize optical technology and integrated intelligence and combine high performance, high quality, and low cost. The FRABA experts support the standard interfaces (serial and parallel), as well as the new fieldbus interfaces like DeviceNet, Profibus, and Interbus. From robotics to steel-mills and packing machines, a wide variety of applications are positioned by POSITAL encoders all around the world.
