6DoF-Sensors

The six degrees of freedom (6DoF) describe the freedom of movement
of a rigid body in a three-dimensional space

Inclination - Acceleration - Gyroscope - Rotation - Translation - Angle

Measurement jobs on mobile machines require robust and precise technologies as well to detect the movement of the systems in an
open and harsh environment. 6DoF sensors use various basic physical principles for different sensor functions in one sensor chip.
MEMS sensors are used to transmit position and angle values to a processing unit in the backend of the sensor.
PULSOTRONIC 6DoF sensors detect acceleration values up to 32g and angular rates up to +/- 2000 dps. An internal temperature
sensor allows the stabilization of the system in a temperature range between -40°C and +85°C. The most important advantages of
using such sensors in mobile machines is the independence from the earth's magnetic field, the compensated cross-sensitivity and a
high vibration immunity stabilized by sensor fusion algorithms.
Application-specific adjustments of the measuring ranges can be changed within the firmware. Several options for communication are
in place like or CAN, SPI and IO-Link. An SPE interface will be also available shortly. Safetyrelevant
applications with an IO-Link safety interface will be solved in near future. The performance of the 6DoF sensor is predestines
for applications in agricultural machinery, forklift trucks, construction machinery, as well as in the field of wind power plants, photovoltaics,
robotics or as part of fleet management systems.
