Product Overview: Separated-Type Inclination Sensor SEC-011F

Enhance Sensor Reliability with High-Precision Angle Measurement

 The separated-type inclination sensor SEC-011F offers a measurement range of ±45° and repeatable accuracy of ±0.15°, enabling precise angle verification of vertical and inclined surfaces. It is especially effective for checking the mounting angles of automotive corner sensors.

Application Example: Verifying Corner Sensor Installation Angles

With the rapid advancement of autonomous driving and driver-assistance technologies, modern vehicles are equipped with numerous sensors. Among them, corner sensors—mounted at the front and rear—play a crucial role in detecting nearby obstacles and assisting drivers during parking.

However, if these sensors are not installed at the correct angle, their detection accuracy may be compromised, potentially leading to malfunctions or accidents. This is where the SEC-011F proves invaluable.

Measurement Challenges and Solutions

Corner sensors are typically mounted on plastic bumpers, making magnetic fixtures unusable. Additionally, pressing the sensor manually against the surface may deform the bumper, resulting in inaccurate readings.
To address this, the SEC-011F uses a resin pad and vacuum pump to securely attach to the surface without manual pressure, ensuring stable and accurate measurements.

Measurement Procedure (6 Simple Steps)

  1. Clean the measurement surface
  2. Power on the inclination sensor and activate the vacuum pump
  3. Extend the sensor pad and press it against the surface
  4. Release your hand—the sensor will remain suctioned in place
  5. Align the etched marker upward for correct orientation
  6. Read the angle displayed on the device

This method allows you to quickly determine whether the corner sensor is tilted upward, downward, or correctly positioned.

Versatile Applications

The vacuum-based mounting system is ideal for measuring non-magnetic vertical surfaces, such as pillars or plastic panels.
