Highlights
Direct-Mount, Cable-Free Architecture
6DX A2 mounts directly to the SLICE6 data acquisition module, eliminating the need for separate sensor cabling and reducing setup time, routing complexity, and potential cable-related issues in constrained installations.
Integrated 6DOF Data
Combining three accelerometers and three angular rate sensors in a single enclosure, the 6DX A2 offers a compact solution for capturing both linear and rotational motion.
Optimized for Modern Safety Testing
Designed to support the full family of ATDs, the direct-mount design simplifies installation for in-dummy DAS setup and testing.
Flexibility and Performance
6DX A2 is available in a wide range of excitation voltages and delivers high-level outputs with lower noise and drift.
Applications
6DX A2 is designed for test applications that require compact, integrated 6DOF measurements with minimal cabling. Its direct mount design helps simplify installations, improve packaging efficiency, and support repeatable data capture.
