Mantracourt hosted its 50th anniversary celebration event at its Exeter facility on July 26, 2024. Past and present colleagues, their families and friends and key customers from across 17 industries globally, including agriculture, construction and automotive, joined together for networking and a factory tour.  Later, many joined its annual family day, themed on a British Summer fete.

The biggest challenge for data acquisition using sensors is understanding what you are measuring and getting the right sensor for the job.

When designing instrumentation for amplifying small signals, the process is rarely straightforward.

Performance monitoring is a key part of Formula One and top teams, like McLaren, Mercedes and Red Bull invest millions each year in gathering and analysing data.

Sensing and measurement specialist Mantracourt has invested £500k to upgrade its Exeter-based facility with a new SMT pick and place line, which will see the factory increase efficiency and cut waste thanks to improved quality control capabilities.

Moore’s Law tells us that the speed and capability of computers will double every two years due to the growing number of transistors that a microchip can contain.

Following Brexit, Exeter-based electronics specialist Mantracourt will expand its operations by establishing a Dutch subsidiary to support the needs of its European customers.

Sensing and measurement specialist, Mantracourt has released the first of its next-gen of products, the PSD-HSBK portable sensor display.

Signal conditioning and sensor company Mantracourt has created an infographic to show how plant operators across many industries can achieve the best results from their wireless sensor instrumentation. This comes at a time where the number of automated devices continues to grow and plant operators need to understand how they can monitor the instrumentation performance in a reliable, cost-effective way. Mantracourt’s guide to wireless sensor...

In measuring strain, engineers often feel like they’re stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to wireless data acquisition, with wired setups adding complexity and some fully-fledged cloud setups being time or cost prohibitive. Here Matt Nicholas, Product Design Manager at Mantracourt, has explained how the company’s B24 Bluetooth strain transmitter offers a good balance between wireless functionality and cost.

As the number of devices connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) grows, so does the need for reliable yet easily deployable sensors. Luckily, wireless sensor technology is evolving, providing manufacturers with practical and cost-effective solutions to monitor the performance of their equipment. Here Tom Lilly, Application Engineer at Mantracourt, explains how to achieve the best results from a wireless sensor installation.

A new in-line strain gauge amplifier from Mantracourt Electronics is set to streamline the calibration of a sensor thanks to its digital potentiometers and extremely simple and intuitive toolkit. Designed to convert strain gauge or load cell inputs into a 4-20 mA output, it provides more filtering than the existing embedded strain gauge amplifier range (ICA), and due to its small design, it can be easily integrated into compact installations.

A new wireless wind speed system aimed at the crane industry has been launched by Mantracourt. The new solution, comprising the wireless wind speed display (T24-DWS) and transmitter module (T24-WSSp), is pre-calibrated, making it simple and easy to use. It is a suitable solution for tower cranes, mobile cranes and crawler cranes, effectively monitoring wind speeds, transmitting the data to a display and fully conforming to the Radio Equipment Dir...

  Manufacturers of strain gauge and load cell signal conditioners, wireless telemetry and high performance analogue to digital converters, Mantracourt Electronics has announced their latest sector-beating device: the FSU-SSB.

All aircraft gain weight over time and as such, it is vital to accurately weigh an aircraft. This is particularly the case in larger aeroplanes, with paint applied, painting and not stripping, configuration changes and cabin equipment modifications. On smaller crafts, such as lighter planes and helicopters, additional equipment such as cameras and communications apparatus will also add to the weight, as may certain repairs.

An exciting vehicle testing project has been developed by Mantracourt Electronics working with an Australian distributor.  The project was collaboration between Mantracourt and Applied Measurement Australia who were approached by the Australian Automotive Research Centre (AARC) to help renovate and update a Tilt Table that was used to test vehicle stability by tilting to an angle of 45º.

A new, upgraded version of its T24 wireless telemetry sensor system for multiple data acquisition in real time has been released by Mantracourt. The new sensor system’s improvements include a 4x increase in transmission range, improved security features and smarter diagnostics. 

Mantracourt Electronics’ SGA load cells are being used within the monitoring systems of the Marmaray Project, a major new rail tunnel project in Turkey. The 76.3km long tunnel is the deepest immersed tunnel in the world and is regarded as the foremost challenging infrastructure project in Turkey.

This video demonstrates the simple pairing and calibration of the Mantracourt T24 range of wireless telemetry.
