Precision tilt monitoring enables smarter automation and safer infrastructure. Epson’s high-resolution accelerometers and IMUs, available via AMCORIS, deliver reliable inclination data across rail systems, smart buildings, and mobile industrial equipment. With ultra-low noise and stable output under varying temperatures and vibration, these sensors allow real-time tilt monitoring in safety-critical and mission-driven environments.
Use Case Overview
Tilt and inclination monitoring is vital for systems where orientation directly impacts functionality, stability or safety. Epson sensors offer sub-degree auccuracy with minimal drift, making them ideal for continuous alignment tracking and long-term structural condition analysis.
Application include:
- Bridge and tunnel tilt monitoring
- Railway track alignment and switch position sensing
- Heavy machinery boom/slant control
- Smart construction platforms (e.g. scaffolding, cranes)
- Industrial automation requiring static angle detection
Epson MSM sensors combine miniature footprints with high shock resistance and reliable digital interfaces - ideal for long-term deployments in mobile and stationary installations.
Real-world Integration Example
In a rail diagnostics project, AMCORIS supported the integration of Epson M-A352AD accelerometers into a bogie monitoring unit. The sensors provided continuous tilt data to detect misalignment or wear-related deflection.
In a mobile crane application, a customer installed the M-G330PDG IMU to monitor boom inclination, improving safety and automation by feeding angular data into the load-balancing logic.
In addition, AMCORIS recently provided early access to the M-G355Q Safety IMU for a robotics customer requiring SIL1-compliant tilt detection for a rail-mounted automation system. Built on the proven M-G366PDG architecture, the M-G355Q delivered certified inertial data for use in functional safety routines.
