In order to address the mining equipment reconditioning market, R2S Robotics needed a sensor module to determine the position of the drill arm in space. The module will be used to measure pitch, roll, and yaw. For mining applications, precise information about the position of the drill arm can be used to increase efficiency. The module will be implemented on a 50 mm x 50 mm acquisition board supplied by R2S. The board must be vibration resistant to provide acceptable precision.

L'histoire du produit

ESISAR (Grenoble Institute of Technology) developed a sensor system to measure the drill arm's pitch, roll, and yaw. It works in static mode, like an inclinometer, with accuracy to within less than one degree. The sensor module also works in dynamic mode, which means that R2S will later be able to develop a master/slave communication protocol between the module and the drill arm.
