\n\t\t\tSENSORS\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\tWhat is a 6D sensor?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t

SuessCo 6D sensors are based on a novel magnetic field technology and enable non-contact and precise measurement of movements and rotations of building or component parts relative to each other.<\/p>\n

SuessCo 6D sensors are based on a novel magnetic field technology and enable non-contact and precise measurement of movements and rotations of building or component parts relative to each other.<\/p>\n

The SuessCo 6D sensor is easy to install and provides precise data on the condition of the monitored component directly into the SuessCo Dashboard at any time. In addition, the sensor simultaneously monitors component movements in 6 dimensions: Movements in the X-, Y- and Z-axis are measured, as well as rotations of the component in the Euler angles \u03b1, \u03b2 and \u03b3.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tWhat is the advantage over conventional crack sensors?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Conventional measurement methods have several problems:<\/p>\nAnalog methods such as “crack spy” or “crack ruler” are merely scales from which changes can be read. Measurement and documentation must be performed manually by a person on site. This is time-consuming, expensive and the frequency of measurement and accuracy are limited.
\nThe SuessCo 6D sensor always delivers precise live data, documents it permanently and processes it graphically. You get a data situation as if the Rissspion is evaluated 24\/7 by a person and the data is recorded. But the whole thing wirelessly, comfortably and over long periods of time.\n

Mechanical methods such as “vibrating wire sensors” measure only one dimension per sensor. A measurement of 3 dimensions requires complex setups with multiple sensors, which are complex and expensive to install.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tWhat is the difference between the 6D sensor and the 3D sensor?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Both sensors provide permanent high-quality measurement data. The 6D sensor provides data on component displacements as well as twists. Furthermore, the 6D sensor can be extended with additional external sensors and covers a wider range of applications. The 3D sensor provides data on the displacement of the components, a change in the angles to each other (“tilting”) is not recorded.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tWhat is the 6D sensor made of?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The sensor assembly consists of two parts: A sensor part and a reference magnet. The sensor part detects the movements of the reference magnet without contact. The communication module for transmitting the data is already integrated in the sensor housing. In addition, a power supply is required (battery box or external power supply).<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tWhat can 6D sensors be used for?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t

SuessCo 6D sensors enable the monitoring of movements or rotations of components in relation to each other. For example, cracks on buildings, the movement of bridge parts, and any other movement can be digitally, precisely, and permanently recorded.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tWhat measuring accuracy and measuring range do 6D sensors offer?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The sensor offers a high measurement accuracy of \u00b1 50 \u00b5m for the longitudinal axes (x, y, z) and \u00b1 0.2 \u00b0 for the rotation values (\u03b1, \u03b2, \u03b3). The sensor also has an integrated temperature sensor with an accuracy of \u00b1 0.5\u00b0C. Measurement accuracy is ensured by magnetic field technology, which has no drift or wear.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tWhat are the dimensions of the 6D sensor?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t
