New high-end Visual Infrared Thermometer
luke has introduced the high-end Fluke® VT04 Visual Infrared Thermometer, a troubleshooting tool with an infrared heat map which offers higher resolution as well as temperature alarms and time- lapse features. Fluke Visual IR Thermometers fill the gap for when a single-spot temperature reading is not enough and a high-resolution thermal image is more than users need: the one tool combines the visual insight of a thermal imager, the visual images of a digital camera, and the point-and-shoot convenience of an IR thermometer. Compared to the VT02, the Fluke VT04 offers a wider 28°x28° field of view for improved scanning and up-close evaluation and four times sharper images. It also features a Hi/Lo temperature alarm which enables hot spots to be found in seconds, and time-lapse functionality which automatically monitors equipment over time or automatically captures images after an alarm has been triggered.

luke has introduced the Fluke 1730 Three-Phase Energy Logger, an intuitive, easy-to-use tool with professional-level energy data gathering capabilities. The Fluke 1730 breaks new ground by enabling a broader category of maintenance professionals to confidently gather energy data, while the accompanying Fluke Energy Analyze software scales from the analysis and reporting needs of the facility manager to the advanced analytical requirements of electrical engineers. Even well-run facilities can experience energy waste, most commonly through equipment and system inefficiencies or by operating at expensive times of the day. The Fluke 1730 negates the need for expensive power quality analysers operated by engineers with advanced training, whose cost and skill barriers have made energy audits impractical for many facilities.

DO4000: Driving up quality control in automotive manufacturing
I enter 701 Three-Phase Electrical Energy Logger
enter 702
mproved testing of robotic weld quality during automotive vehicle manufacturing is provided by the DO4000 range of high performance,
digital
milliohmmeters now available from Cropico. The portable and rugged instrument includes several
advanced features to test accurately the integrity of welding during body part assembly as an integral part of an advanced quality control programme. It can also be used to improve the measurement of other areas of automotive production including testing resistance of airbag detonators and battery crimp terminations. Features of the DO4000 include forward and reverse
current measurement with auto averaging, true current zero, long scale length and a selectable measurement range from 40mΩ to 4kΩ with respective resolutions between 10µΩ and 1Ω.

Latest mobile data recorder improves high-speed data acquisition
BM has launched the mobile GEN3i data recorder that can transfer data directly to the storage medium at speeds as high as 200 MB/s while up to 96 input channels can be configured as required. Data can be continuously transferred to hard disk and fast sweeps recorded so that users benefit by recording, saving and visualizing millions of measurement data items per second.
H
With 21 different data acquisition cards available – including a 1000V direct input voltage or sampling rates of 100 MS/s – the Genesis HighSpeed GEN3i data recorder can be used for a wide range of applications including generators, turbines and motors. Suitable uses include troubleshooting, maintenance and start-up as well as destructive material testing.

he Kistler KiTorq (
http://tinyurl.com/kistler-4434) torque sensor system is now available with Profibus, Profinet CANopen, Ethercat and EthernetIP interfaces in addition to the analog/frequency, USB and RS-232 interfaces. The new stator is fully compatible with all KiTorq type 4550A rotors. The new communication options allow the KiTorq system to be integrated directly into the user’s test environment through the fieldbus interfaces. This saves time during installation and eliminates the cost of additional equipment to convert measured data making the new KiTorq stator exceptionally cost effective for test stand design, installation and operation in applications for electric motor, internal combustion engine, transmissions, pump and compressor testing. The new stator can be used with any KiTorq rotor of the same speed rating and will automatically recognise the rotor measuring range.
With rotors
available with seven measuring ranges from 100 to 5,000 Nm, hardware investment is minimised as one stator may be used with rotors of differing ranges for different applications.

Latest accessories expand PACEline product range H
BM has expanded the capabilities of its PACEline range of piezoelectric transducers with a series of charge cables up to 7 metres long. The cables are designed to facilitate the integration of HBM’s PACEline products into existing systems. Piezoelectric transducers are used in applications when there is limited space for measuring equipment or when measurement tasks involve extremely small forces and high dynamics. HBM’s new charge cables combine easily with an extensive array of accessories, including mounting aids, summators and cable couplings,
for its
PACEline piezoelectric products. This means that the entire measuring chain for nearly all applications can now be supplied. All of the accessories conform to HBM’s high quality standards while the price/performance ratio remains extremely attractive to save users time and money.
