Challenge and solution

Sensor validation and characterization in practice

01

Defined stimuli

Turn-and-tilt tables expose sensors to defined positions and motion conditions. Simulyzers acquire the corresponding readings for subsequent evaluation.

02

Evaluate pre-production samples

Measurement series allow the spread of readings and accuracy to be evaluated. These analyses support the specifications in the sensor data sheet.

03

Compact installation on the rotating axis

A compact Simulyzer-RT setup places the measurement electronics on the rotating axis. Only power and network data have to pass through slip rings.

Mechanics and data acquisition

Acquire data on the moving assembly

With the measurement electronics on the rotating axis, individual sensor lines do not need to pass through slip rings. The compact Simulyzer-RT solution acquires the data directly on the axis.

  • Acquire measurements under defined stimuli
  • Evaluate the spread and accuracy of pre-production samples
  • Route power and network data through slip rings
