Industrial Measurement Technologies That Power Process Control

 

Effective process control starts with the ability to accurately measure key physical parameters in real time. HBK delivers advanced sensor technologies and signal processing solutions tailored for high-performance industrial environments.

Our technologies support precise monitoring of:

  • Force and load – for press-fit, forming, and assembly force validation​
  • Torque – for monitoring drive systems, bolted joints, and rotational force processes​
  • Displacement and position – to track linear movements during machining or forming​
  • Strain and deformation – for structural monitoring and predictive failure detection​
  • Pressure – for hydraulic and pneumatic system optimization

These measurements are captured through robust sensors, enhanced by IO-Link connectivity for digital communication.

Whether you need to stabilize production quality, prevent overloads, or feed live data into your automation system, HBK provides the measurement foundation for closed-loop, high-efficiency industrial..
