HBM Webinars to Spark Your Interest This November
To help engineers avoid costly downtime and equipment damage, the HBM Academy provides a range of online training courses to help attendees get the most from their tools.
Mini but Mighty Pressure Transducer P60
Carrying out reliable pressure tests within confined areas, such as gearboxes or coolant systems, is now a much simpler process for engineers with the launch of HBM’s miniature pressure transducer series - P60.
Iron Bird Testing with catman Enterprise 8.0
catman Enterprise is the leading data acquisition (DAQ) software for tests with high channel counts. This makes the DAQ software ideal for aerospace testing applications such as static and fatigue testing.
With the release of catman Enterprise version 8.0 it is now possible to acquire data from digital avionics buses, such as ARINC-429 and MIL-STD-1553. This opens a new field of test applications in which users can benefit from HBM’s experience with high channel counts. The applications range from testing of subsystems like landing gears up to the full-scale iron bird test.
The Correct Connection with HBM’s Force Transducer Cables
Selecting the correct cable for a force measurement task can be a challenge. HBM has launched its new K-CAB-F connection cables, designed to simplify the process.
Sign Up Now for HBM’s Educational Webinars
Test and measurement specialist, HBM’s autumn webinars – providing practical knowledge for users of force and strain gauge measurement tools – are now available for registration.
HBM and Brüel & Kjær Merger Continues to Take Shape
Following the initial announcement, in April 2018, of the merger between Hottinger Baldwin Messtechnik (HBM) and Brüel & Kjær, HBM’s Senior Vice President Product Management, Marketing and Strategy Thomas Lippok at HBM, provides an update on the latest developments.
HBM Technology Integrated into Bridge Project
In order to restore Brazil's longest suspension bridge, optical and strain gauge technology by HBM has been used to ensure the 90-year-old structure would provide safe passage for numerous pedestrians and vehicles crossing each day.
BK New Sound Level Meter Available on Web Shop
Sound and vibration specialist Brüel & Kjær’s latest sound level meter - B&K 2245 - can now be purchased via its sister company’s virtual store, HBMshop.
Clipx Signal Conditioner with OPC-UA Server
HBM presents its first signal conditioner of the ClipX series with an integrated OPC UA server. It uses M2M communication to enable direct sensor data transmission to a cloud for analysis.
New Optical Fiber Sensor Line newLight
newLight is an easy to install optical sensor line for strain, tilt, temperature and acceleration. Based on Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) technology, the development of this product line reflects advances in optical measurement standards and merges the advantages of HBM’s former optical product portfolio into one comprehensible line of optical sensors.
DAQ module with CAN FD for high bandwidth requirem
HBM has expanded its range of data acquisition modules by launching the new MX471C module with CAN FD (CAN with flexible data-rate) protocol. The module is part of the industry standards' QuantumX and SomatXR series, providing engineers with universal and flexible solutions for integrating data acquisition systems into CANbus networks.
New Miniature Piezo Force Sensor PACEline CFTplus
HBM’s new PACEline CFTplus series of piezoelectric force transducers is an ideal choice for making measurements in the production and manufacturing sectors. CFTplus sensors are particularly suitable for covering very large measuring ranges, for e.g., when using presses with a large measuring range.
PW15AHY with minimum verification interval (Y) of 25,000
HBM has expanded its portfolio of load cells in the SP4M industry footprint: The new PW15AHY single point load cell has a ratio of minimum verification interval (Y) of up to 25,000.
