Common standards have been set by FORM + TEST and HBK. Traceable reference measurement instruments used in accredited calibration laboratories, must meet the highest requirements in terms of precision, reliability, and quality. 

HBK has launched the countdown to its virtual Product Physics Conference, taking place from 13th to 15th October 2020. The HBK Product Physics Conference will bring together interested parties, from an international community of users and partners, to learn more about how leaders of the global test and measurement community overcome their challenges.

Test and measurement specialist 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 standard’s QuantumX family, providing engineers with universal and flexible solutions for integrating data acquisition systems into CANbus networks.

It has been announced that HBM’s new PACEline CFTplus series of piezoelectric force transducers is a well suited choice for making measurements in the production and manufacturing sectors. CFTplus sensors are particularly suitable for covering very large measuring ranges, for example, when using presses with a large measuring range.

HBM’s Z6R bending beam load cell has been designed for maximum capacities ranging from 20 to 200kg. It contains a robust enclosure, dirt-repellent design, and compatibility with the Z6 load cell. Typical fields of application can be found in the packaging or food-processing industries. The robust enclosure withstands mechanical stress and is not affected by dirt, humidity, and aggressive media.

Now available from HBM is the very latest EVIDAS software, which is designed to significantly accelerate and facilitate data acquisition. Simple to use, EVIDAS software features an intuitive user interface that provides immediate visual feedback. By simply connecting the smart sensors (TEDS), it takes two simple clicks to display measurement results, without any programming, saving users valuable set-up time and effort, which is a ...

  Now available from HBM is the new SomatXR CX22B-R data recorder, which has been specifically designed to reliably acquire and store measured data in mobile applications, such as interactive vehicle testing.

HBM has announced its new ClipX signal conditioner, which sets new standards in industrial process control by simply integrating into existing machines and production systems. Designed to optimise production processes, ClipX is a signal conditioner that not only amplifies signals and transfers them to the control unit, without any interference but also completes preliminary calculations and summaries, to reduce the load on higher level ...

With the portable data acquisition system GEN2tB, HBM has introduced a high performance starter device for high speed measurement with sampling rates of up to 250MS/s. Thanks to its flexible design and possibility of individual assembly with different data acquisition cards, GEN2tB offers attractive functions for professional users as well. Typical applications include testing electrical networks (eGrids), electric drive trains (eDrive), as well ...

  The new digital C16i load cell has been announced by HBM. It has been designed to simplify off-centre compression. Following on from the company's C16a analogue cell, the C16i is designed to precisely measure heavy loads of up to 60 tonnes with an accuracy class of C3 and C4. 

Test and measurement company, HBM, has introduced its new PACEline CSW miniature force washers for reliable shear-force monitoring. The new piezoelectric sensors’ typical fields of application include force monitoring tasks in machining processes such as cutting, milling, and turning. Additionally, the CLP miniature sensors enable a swift upgrade of the force washer to a sensor with multiple axes.

HBM Test and Measurement has launched a new Strain Measurement online guide, focusing on the selection, installation, data acquisition, and analysis of electrical as well as optical strain gauges. The new portal contains comprehensive information about measuring strain, including valuable tips from leading strain measurement experts.

HBM has announced the date of its latest webinar on Smart Technologies for Mobile Testing, which takes place at 9.00am on Thursday 23rd November 2017.

  HBM has announced its capabilities of offering complete customised, end to end cloud-based structural health monitoring (SHM) packages. The packages include all associated hardware, software, installation, and monitoring requirements, along with cloud-based data access for each customer.

Suitable for measurements on printed circuit boards (PCB), small components or applications with limited space, the RF9 miniature rosette strain gauge has been released by HBM. Compact in size, the strain gauge rosette features a three stacked measurement grid which is only 5mm in size, enabling it to determine a biaxial stress state with unknown principal stress direction in confined spaces.
