Description: A precision tilt measurement / monitoring kit manufactured to military specification for the British Army by Tilt Measurement Limited. They are believed to have been built to test alignment accuracy of the Chieftain Tank gun barrel system.  This kit comprises :

1.   A robust and high quality multi-range 6 channel analogue measurement unit.

Superbly built throughout, it receives input signals from a maximum of 6 (3 pairs) tilt sensors and displays the variance from level at three switcheable sensitivity ranges, to a maximum resolution of 0.05mm per metre. The span for each range is + or - 0.5, 2 and 10mm per metre. The meter has an illuminated scale and the unit is powered by either 115/230v mains supply or  20 – 28v.DC.  It also has internal rechargeable ni-cad batteries (2 off PP9).

2. Electro level sensors.

Note.
The original equipment consisted of 3 twin electrolevel sensor units.  Two of these pairs were adjustable and in the other, the sensors were fixed.  We do have some kits available still in this configuration, but because it was felt that this combination was too specialised  (unless you have a Chieftain Tank of course), we have modified the combination to provide :-

One original twin sensor unit with two micrometer threaded adjuster screws.

The lower screw adjusts both sensors about the same axis whilst the upper screw adjusts only one of them. Each electrolevel can be repositioned anywhere on the common pivot to an angle of about + or - 45degrees with respect to the base by releasing a small locking screw.

Two separate electrolevels which have been built using the original adjusting mechanisms onto new individual bases.  These provide a neat and functional means of adjustable tilt measurement in two planes independently.  As they have been modified the buyer should access their suitability by inspection.  Samples can be provided.

This provides four electrolevels in total.  They are of the type currently supplied by Tilt Measurement Ltd. as the ELH 100 although of course in different housings.   These units have range of 1 degree and linearity of  typically 1%.  Please check their website for characteristics. 

Tilt Measurement are able to calibrate these units – please contact them directly for more information.

Other Equipment: 

Three off sensor connecting cables with 6 way Amphenol connectors and curly cables.

One off mains cable of similar style (this may not be suitable for industrial use but could be modified).

One off DC connector cable of similar style.

One off Zarges rugged military transit case, 600mm x 400mm x 260mm approx.

Total weight 18.5kg.

Weight of equipment only is 10kg.

Please note: The above equipment powers up and works.  I have checked the deflection of the electrolevels with straight edges and shims etc. and they give meter readings which appear as expected.  I do not however have the capability to test them accurately or to calibrate them.  Any potential buyer is welcome to test the equipment personally if they wish to verify its functionality and suitability for their intended applications.

Please note that VAT is included in the listing price.  A VAT invoice will be supplied to the winner.  Overseas buyers in exempt areas may be entitled to a VAT (17.5%) free transaction.
