Scott Bennett, Kee Safety’s Quality Manager, notes, “We selected HBM’s equipment because it gave us an
off-the-shelf solution for both the hardware and, more importantly the software. A particular attraction of the software was its ability to filter the data at 60Hz that we needed
for our dynamic tests.”
HBM’s MX840A is a
compact 8-channel universal amplifier that can support up to 15 different transducer types per channel. All eight inputs provide 24-bit analog-to-digital converter with synchronized data acquisition at sample rates of up to 19.2kHz. The inputs are electrically isolated to ensure high measurement accuracy.
The
U9B is a
miniature load cell for tensile and compressive forces constructed in stainless steel and available in ten measuring ranges up to 0-50kN. It is intended primarily for
integration into assembly and production processes where there is not much space available for mounting. This equipment is complemented by
catman®Easy, HBM’s
intuitive software for simple acquisition and visualization of measurement data.
Bennett adds, “In terms of the engineering,
using HBM’s equipment has been a complete success and resulted in markedly improved products and we are now also using the equipment to test our other PPE devices regularly throughout the year.”
