Jaw Crusher in Road Test: Reliable Measurement Results Under Challenging Conditions

Reliable Despite Sudden Knocks and Power Failure: SomatXR

After a study of the issues faced, HBK specified its DAQ, SomatXR series, which is particularly suitable for use in harsh environments. To complement this package, HBK also suggested the SomatXR MX1615B-R module and related accessories, which included RF-9 strain gauge rosettes. Given the demanding environment, it was important to choose the correct equipment available. Often faced with wet and arduous conditions, the ability to operate reliably, despite sudden knocks, was a key consideration. When operating under such extreme conditions, it is also often hard to anticipate all of the problems that may occur, such as losing measurement data due to unforeseen events, such as a power failure.  This is a particularly relevant feature in terms of long term tests, such as those required by Terex® MPS. The SomatXR system enables data to be continuously recorded.  This means that should a failure interrupt a test, recorded data up until that point will be saved. This is particularly beneficial as it also means the system should also continue data logging automatically, after the interruption, without any need for user interaction. HBK data acquisition systems are suitable for a wide range of mobile testing applications but the immense load requirements and extreme environmental conditions surrounding Terex® MPS did present a challenge. However, thanks to HBKs extensive experience in mobile testing and demanding fields, it was able to provide a solution which offers Terex® MPS the flexibility of being able to work around available and convenient testing windows. In addition to specifying and supplying Terex® MPS with a system to meet its needs, HBK also provided engineers with training and support.
