Accreditation for ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 V


ariohm EuroSensor,


the leading


sensor and transducer manufacturer, distributor and supply chain partner announces its accreditation for the ISO 9001:2015 quality management standard as well as ISO14001:2015 for environmental management systems. The implementation and award of these approvals also includes Variohm’s sister company, Ixthus Instrumentation, who provide design and build of customised test and measurement systems. Both companies are part of the Acal plc group and share the same location near Towcester-UK. The accreditation highlights Variohm and Ixthus’ determination to consistently provide their customers with products and services that achieve


the highest standards and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, as well as signpost their strong focus on positive environmental practice and responsibility. The new ‘2015’ approvals are a part of an integrated series of standards that not only centre on continuous improvement - as have previous generation standards - but also place priority on risk assessment and risk-based thinking. Graham Pattison, the group managing director, sums up the importance of the awards for Variohm and Ixthus. “These new approvals follow continued investment in our manufacturing systems, our staff and facilities. They underpin the forward looking values that are instilled throughout our leadership and management teams and to every member of staff – helping us to deliver excellence in our products and services.” The scope of activities for both approvals, for both Ixthus and Variohm EuroSensor, covers the supply of sensors, transducers and complete systems to measure displacement, force, torque and vibration.

Portable Vibration Calibration with Certificate Generation


P


CB Piezotronics, a world leader in vibration, acoustic, pressure, force and torque sensors has announced The Modal Shop’s new


9110D Portable Vibration Calibrator offering laboratory grade accuracy, allowing industrial plants to reduce perceived risk when under review for business interruption insurance. Capable of validating accelerometers, velocity sensors, proximity probes and 4-20mA loop vibration sensors, the 9110D creates ISO 17025 compliant calibration certificates in Microsoft Excel®. A printed and filed certificate provides proof to insurance risk engineers that a plant is following recommended best practice standards for maintaining its condition monitoring system.


The Modal Shop is a global calibration authority of over 20 years standing. Each portable vibration


calibrator is backed by extensive application knowledge and a policy of total customer satisfaction. PCB Piezotronics Ltd

Hbm Webinars H


2017.


Designed to teach delegates how to significantly accelerate the process of generating an efficiency map for an electrical machine, with the help of HBM’s revolutionary eDrive solution, “Accelerated efficiency mapping of electric machines with 3 or more phases” takes place on April 25th.


This webinar will explain how the process can be speeded up and successfully performed in minutes, rather than days, simply by using the correct tools and processes,


which is important for the


optimisation of the drive, as well as the increase in efficiency.


It will also look at how to achieve this


with 6-phase machines, or other machines with more than three phases and cover the process of advanced mapping, for example for iron or copper loss maps.
