New modules to SomatXR Data Acquisition System


arrival of the CX23-R data recorder and the EX23-R Ethernet switch, designed to make the SomatXR data acquisition system even more powerful and flexible. The SomatXR CX23-R data recorder with web interface provides direct access to measurement data without any software installation.


H This allows


for convenient channel parameterisation, motoring of measurement tasks and visualisation of measured data to be conveniently and easily accessed off site. The EX23-R Ethernet Switch features 10GB Ethernet ports for connecting SomatXR measurement modules and other accessories, five of which are able to supply electrical power to external devices with Power-over-Ethernet (PoE).

BM – a market leader in the field of test and measurement – is pleased to announce the


CB Piezotronics, a world leader in vibration, acoustic, pressure, force and torque sensors has announced the availability of many of its most popular microphones on less than 5 days delivery with pricing that gives exceptional value compared with competitive products. In addition to the fast delivery and low pricing, the majority of models are offered complete with five year warranty.


The most popular model in PCB


Piezotronics’ range is the model 378B02 ½-inch (12.7mm) prepolarised microphone that is ideal for high accuracy applications where high sensitivity is required for free-field response type measurements. Applications include precision sound level measurements,


R&D, hearing


preservation and safety, vehicle pass-by noise, machinery preventative maintenance, environmental noise monitoring,


anechoic


chamber and loudspeaker measurements. At £610, the model 378B02 offers exceptional value with TEDS (Transducer Electronic Data Sheets) built in, 50mV/Pa sensitivity, frequency range from 3Hz to 20kHz, dynamic range to >135dB and operating temperature range from -40 to +120°C (HT version). A range of prepolarised ICP® array microphones is available for use in consumer goods and R&D laboratory testing. These offer a cost-effective alternative for multi-channel testing applications with a low per-channel cost. Suitable for measuring sound within the normal range of human hearing capability, series 130 array microphones are single piece units that include a built-in preamplifier.

New maXYmos NC for monitoring and controlling Kistler NC servo press modules


he new Type 5847 maXYmos NC represents a significant improvement to the capabilities of the Kistler NC servo press modules. The maXYmos NC will monitor, evaluate and document the XY characteristics of joining and press-fit processes using the force and displacement data from the servo press module. The new version extends the capability of the NC Servo Press system to monitor and control the shape of the measurement curves against a defined profile in real-time. A significantly greater degree of control in terms of position, velocity and force, is possible compared with equivalent hydraulic systems. As a result, optimum cycle times can be achieved with the highest degree of process repeatability.

Variable-speed drive cuts billet mill saw stoppages for Tata Steel


L


ess blade wear and greater uptime of a billet mill saw are among the benefits from retrofitting an ABB motor and


variable-speed drive (VSD) at Tata Steel’s Stocksbridge plant. The motor and drive improves control of the saw, preventing trips and stoppages that can damage the blade. Tata Steel Speciality Steels produces high-value special steels for the aerospace and oil and gas industries. Hot rolled steel is presented to the billet saw from the No.2 finishing mill, in sizes ranging from 180 mm to 300 mm at a temperature of about 800 degrees centigrade. The steel is run to a stop and measure system, which allows the operator to position each piece to achieve the required size of finished billet.

anner International has added Hydra-Cell G25 and G35 pumps to its list of models available in 316L stainless steel, with Tri-Clamp ferrules and polished internals, for sanitary applications.ri-Clamp fittings are easy to assemble and breakdown, making them ideal for short term process lines and equipment. Used extensively in food, drink and pharmaceutical processing, their smooth crevice and pit free interiors offer non-contaminating, superior corrosion resistance and long service life. In order to meet clean-ability requirements these Hydra-Cell pumpshave completely new manifolds with redesigned galleries that allow access for polishing to a certified surface finish. All wetted parts (Tri-Clamp ferrules, manifold, valve plate, valves, valve seat, springs, retainers) are polished to either Ra 0.4 or 0.8 µm and come with TSE, Passivation, & Weld Procedure certificates as standard. Designed for the transfer,


W metering, dosing and


spraying of a wide range of materials, including those that are abrasive, viscous or shear sensitive.
