High-Performance Measurement

Accurate automation starts with trusted data. Come and see sensing technologies built for demanding industrial environments and high-performance machinery.

  • Multi-Axis Force and Torque Sensing for Robotics
    Watch a live robotic integration demonstrating our custom-engineered 6-DoF force and torque sensors. See how they provide accurate, real-time measurement even in space-constrained environments. Together with customised single-axis torque sensing solutions, we will show you how HBK delivers cost-effective technologies that support you from initial concept through to industrialisation and series production.

  • High-Dynamic Torque Measurement
    Observe a live drivetrain simulation showcasing high-resolution torque ripple measurement. Discover how the Next Generation Torque (NGT) platform provides maximum flexibility and scalability to save costs, delivering unmatched insights to support the age of electrification.

Smart Edge and Signal Processing

Bring intelligence closer to the sensor. See firsthand how HBK edge solutions process measurement signals directly where they are generated, reducing controller workload while improving responsiveness. Configure Instead of Coding

  • Embedded Force Intelligence
    Test the digiBOX IPC live on our screens and see how its high-accuracy force measurement combined with preconfigured application algorithms can save you time and money. Experience a lightweight setup that automates industrial tasks without needing costly hardware or software programming, strictly configure instead of coding.

  • Smart Process Weighing
    Watch a simulated filling and dosing process using our highly compatible, modular weighing architecture. Whether using an integrated solution like FIT5X or an analogue load cell with digiBOX WT, discover how easily you can adapt machines to specific customer requirements while maintaining maximum flexibility.

  • Optical Sensing at the Edge
    Get a close look at the new FS12DBX Optical digiBOX in action. See how it uniquely bridges optical sensing, IT, and OT by simultaneously streaming FBG measurement data while using sensor information for real-time control and actuation in harsh environments.

  • Advanced Rotational Data Processing
    View high-speed data streaming in real-time with the new BMX60 Interface Module. Combining torque, speed, angle, and power calculations, this all-in-one device offers minimal signal latencies and fast fieldbus connections (up to 10kHz), providing a lightweight test setup without the need for costly cabling and dedicated amplifiers.
