2.1 General
description
TESA CLINOBEVEL are electronic inclinometers specially designed for direct
measurement of any angle of inclined surfaces up to ± 60°. Since they make use of the
force of gravity, these instruments also serve as precision levels for accurate levelling on
machines, devices etc. Both measuring faces that are arranged horizontally and vertically
on the solid instrument body serve as resting points on the inclined surface to be inspected.
Due to their possible orientation in any direction, every TESA CLINOBEVEL is also suited
for comparative measurement where the difference between both values obtained from
two successive measurements is shown on the display. In addition, these electronic
inclinometers also permit straightness and flatness inspection of scales, surface plates or
machine parts through single measurements performed step by step according to a
defined grid combined with value processing.
Providing ease of handling, TESA CLINOBEVEL 3 is the favourite for checking horizontal
and vertical surfaces.
TESA CLINOBEVEL 3 is available with 3 measurement zones: ±1°, ±10°, ±60°.
TESA CLINOBEVEL 3 with the measuring ranges ±10° and ±60° is available in cast iron
and aluminium.
The version with the measuring range ±1° is only available in cast iron and its measuring
bases on the left and bottom are precisely scraped.
The TESA CLINOBEVEL 3 allows wireless data transmission to an
Android device. The app can be downloaded from the Play Store.
Various parameters can be set and changed in the TESA CLINOBEVEL 3 like
-
Various colour profiles
-
Various display methods, including bar graphs or precision levels
-
Measuring mode
etc.
can be set and changed.
The TESA CLINOBEVEL 3 contains a high-precision inclination sensor which is
optimized for the measuring range of the instrument. The measuring principle of this
sensor is based on the deflection of a membrane suspended between two electrodes,
which functions as a pendulum. The membrane builds a differential capacitor with the two
electrodes.
Inclining the sensor respectively the measuring instrument moves the pendulum which
changes the capacities. This change of capacities is used as the primary signal for the
calculation of the inclination angle. The system is insusceptible to external
electromagnetic influences. In the TESA CLINOBEVEL 3 this primary signal is
transformed into an inclination value basing on a curve of reference points and displayed.
