SICK TMS/TMM88 Dynamic Inclination Sensor – High Accuracy for Dynamic Applications

Key Highlights:

• Measures inclination on two axes with mutual cross-axis interference compensation
• Measures a single axis over a full 360° with a configurable zero point
• High signal quality and fast response time thanks to advanced and powerful sensor fusion algorithms
• Access to raw data from the accelerometer and gyroscope, enabling numerous additional application possibilities
• Operates in the harshest conditions thanks to fully encapsulated electronics and high housing protection rating
• Flexible configuration via CANopen or SAE J1939

Overview of SICK TMS/TMM88 Dynamic Inclination Sensor

The TMS/TMM88 Dynamic is an advanced inertial sensor (inclination sensor) from SICK, developed to meet industrial applications that require high accuracy under continuous motion conditions. Unlike traditional inclination sensors that only perform well in static conditions, the TMS/TMM88 Dynamic uses an intelligent sensor fusion filter that integrates data from a 6-axis MEMS accelerometer and gyroscope. This allows the sensor to maintain stable and accurate measurements even when the equipment is vibrating or accelerating.

The product line includes three main variants: TMx88D-A (aluminum housing), TMx88D-P (PBT plastic housing), and TMx88D-M (zinc die-cast housing) – suitable for different environments and budgets. Both single-axis (TMS, 360°) and dual-axis (TMM, ±90°) versions are available with CANopen or SAE J1939 interfaces.

Features:

• Dynamic measurement accuracy: up to 0.5° under motion conditions
• Measuring range: 360° (single-axis) / ±90° (dual-axis)
• Protection rating: IP67 / IP69 – dustproof and resistant to high-pressure water jets
• Interfaces: CANopen or SAE J1939 (depending on model)
• Shock resistance: 100 g – suitable for environments with strong vibration
• Single-axis (360°) and dual-axis (±90°) inclination sensors based on 6-axis IMU
• Adaptive intelligent sensor fusion filter (depending on type)

Industrial Applications of SICK TMS/TMM88 Dynamic Inclination Sensor

With the ability to measure inclination with an accuracy of up to 0.5° under motion conditions and an IP69 protection rating, the SICK TMS/TMM88 Dynamic is suitable for many heavy industrial applications in Vietnam:

• Agricultural and Forestry Machinery: The sensor determines the inclination of the cabin, harvesting header, or forestry crane to enable automatic adjustment, ensuring safe operation on uneven and sloped terrain.
• Construction Machinery – Crane and Excavator Boom Angle: The TMM88 Dynamic measures the dual-axis inclination of excavator booms and drilling machines, enabling precise working angle control and preventing damage to surrounding structures.
• Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV/AMR): The SICK sensor with integrated sensor fusion monitors vehicle inclination in real time, supplementing the navigation system in automated factories.
• Lifting Cranes and Aerial Platforms: Accurately determines the inclination angle of suspension cables, passenger-carrying vehicles, or work platforms to ensure safety and smooth transportation.
• Solar Energy (TMx88D-M variant): High static accuracy combined with adaptive damping algorithms helps optimize solar panel angles toward the sun throughout the day.

Comparison between TMS/TMM22 and TMS/TMM88 Dynamic – Which Model to Choose?

Note: If the budget is limited and the application has minimal vibration, the TMS/TMM22 is an economical and sufficient solution. If high accuracy is required under harsh dynamic operating conditions, the TMS/TMM88 Dynamic is the better choice.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: What is the price of the SICK TMS/TMM88 Dynamic 2 inclination sensor?

The price of the TMS/TMM88 Dynamic depends on the model, interface, and housing variant (aluminum, plastic, or zinc die-cast). Please contact AUMI via hotline 0917 991 589 to receive the best quotation along with expert advice on selecting the right variant for your specific application.

Q2: In which industries is the SICK TMS/TMM88 Dynamic used?

The TMS/TMM88 Dynamic is SICK’s high-end dynamic inclination sensor, specially designed for applications that require high accuracy under strong motion and continuous vibration conditions.

It is widely used in the following fields:

• Agricultural machinery (tractors, combine harvesters, sprayers)
• Construction and heavy equipment (excavators, bulldozers, tower cranes, industrial forklifts)
• Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV/AMR) and autonomous vehicles
• Lifting cranes, mobile cranes, and aerial work platforms
• Special-purpose vehicles and custom machinery
• Solar energy systems (TMx88D-M variant with adaptive damping algorithm to maintain accuracy when solar panels are affected by strong wind)

Thanks to its intelligent Sensor Fusion technology, the sensor maintains high stability even when the equipment is moving or subject to strong vibration.

Q3: What is the difference between TMS88 and TMM88?

• TMS88 Dynamic: Single-axis version (single-axis) with a measuring range of up to 360°. Suitable for applications that only require monitoring inclination in one direction (usually the X-axis or vertical axis). Examples: monitoring the boom angle of a crane, the slope of a tractor, or inclination in a single plane.
• TMM88 Dynamic: Dual-axis version with a measuring range of ±90° per axis. It allows simultaneous measurement of inclination in both X and Y directions. This is the most popular choice because most real-world applications (forklifts, excavators, lifting platforms) require multi-directional inclination monitoring to ensure safety and stability.

Q4: Is the sensor waterproof?

Yes. All variants of the TMS/TMM88 Dynamic achieve IP67 and IP69 protection ratings. They can withstand high-pressure water jets and temporary submersion. The internal electronics are fully encapsulated, making the sensor highly suitable for harsh outdoor environments.
