GOOD VIBRATIONS WITH SVANTEK’S HAND-HELD
PORTABLE SV110 In noise and vibration instrumentation provider for occupational health and environmental monitoring, Svantek UK has launched a new portable vibration calibrator.
The hand-held SV110 is designed for verification of machine sensors as well as on-site checks of human vibration accelerometers, in accordance to ISO 8041.
Specially developed for in-situ calibration checks of hand-arm vibration meters mounted on hand or tool, the robust SV110 is ideal for use with Svantek’s popular SV103 and SV106 instruments.
GO LEAN FOR IMPROVED SAFETY AND
PRODUCTIVITY HSE statistics have shown that one of the biggest causes of time off work is accidents and injuries related to manual handling. Despite progress over the past decade these types of accident still lead to 28% of ‘over seven day’ injuries each year.
To alleviate the risks associated with manual handling the HSE and others recommend eliminating the task altogether when possible. In many instances this is not practical because handling or manipulating items is inherent to the process whether this is item assembly, order picking or sales fulfilment. Instead the next best option is to simplify the process and eliminate the unnecessary movements, over- stretching and unnatural postures that raise the risk of injuries.
Many manufacturers, warehouse operators and retailers have realised that modular handling and storage systems such as Graphit from the Tube & Bracket Company offer

With its compact design, the SV110 enables easy checks of sensors. Depending on the selected frequency (79.58 Hz and 159.2 Hz), the user may select the level of calibration from 1m/s² to 10m/s². Accelerometers are conveniently attached using mounting stud or disc, or via a dedicated adapter.
The calibrator menu provides selection between both metric systems ‘g’ and ‘m/s². The menu is simply operated by three push buttons and small OLED display.
Following the requirements of ISO 8041, the calibrator’s built-in reference accelerometer measures the cross- axis (transverse) vibrations to detect any disturbance to the calibration signal. Faults caused by transverse vibrations are indicated by two LEDs on the calibrator’s outer casing.
This innovative solution ensures stability of both the calibration level
and frequency, independent from the mass of the test object.
Svantek’s SV110 portable vibration calibrator boasts built-in rechargeable batteries for 12 hours of continuous operation.

the versatility they need to build bespoke structures. Structures such as production cells, workstations, component stores, picking carts, and trolleys are assembled using interchangeable components such as tubes, connectors, roller-beds and wheels. Tubes can be cut to any length and connected in any orientation to create a robust framework and present items at precisely the right position for the most convenient access and ergonomic working.
All components are interchangeable and reusable which means structures can be modified whenever needed. The versatility of systems such as Graphit allows the integration of storage boxes, tools and equipment, noticeboards, display screens and power supplies. This ensures users can create workspaces that are optimised for their unique requirements.
Manufacturers, distribution companies and retailers have all recognised the safety and productivity benefits of lean processes. Other businesses can make similar improvements to their own operations by embracing the same principles and by implementing adaptable workstations and handling equipment.
