aser Components Detector Group has joined the prestigious Optical Sciences Centre of the University of Arizona as an Industrial Affiliate and is listed as an Associate Partner by the James C. Wyant College of Optical Sciences. Shankar Baliga, senior product manager, will serve as the coordinator and contact person for the Detector Group. As a member of the Industrial Affiliate programme, the
L
Arizona based company will use its areas of expertise in strengthening its ties to one of the world’s leading institutes in optical research and education. Being part of the affiliate programme gains access to a broad spectrum of optics applications and provides an opportunity to interact with a pool of highly talented and educated potential employees. “We at Laser Components are very pleased to be part of this distinguished and esteemed Affiliate Programme that brings us together with the optics community,” stated Baliga. “It affords us great opportunities to share our expertise in the photonics industry, with the ability to help those who are interested in pursuing and advancing their careers and goals”.

ewesoft has announced the release of the SIRIUSi-XHS-8xACC. Designed for
shock and vibration applications that require the highest bandwidth, such as blast, ballistics and impact testing and analysis, the system is built on the company’s new HybridADC technology. Previous systems offered top sample rates of
either 200 kS/sec/channel or 1 MS/sec/channel, but this new model samples up to 15 MS/sec on all eight channels simultaneously.
The system has two modes of operation: High-bandwidth - 15 MS/sec/channel rate or
High-dynamic range - up to 150 dB at lower sampling rates The mode and sample rate can be selected
independently on each channel. This eliminates the expense and complexity of using two separate DAQ systems for a single test, because the system can handle the high and lower speed measurements at the same time. The redesigned input amplifiers are made
specifically to handle IEPE (e.g., ICP) sensors, such as microphones and accelerometers with higher

bandwidth than ever before. Each BNC input features an LED that lights up to indicate that a working sensor is connected. The inputs and the included system software support TEDS automatic sensor configuration, making setup faster and more accurate than ever before. The inputs are also isolated in both directions,
ensuring low-noise, high accuracy measurements. Sensors are powered by on-board selectable current of 2 mA to 20 mA. Engineers can filter out low frequency noise with AC coupling (at 1 Hz or 0.1 Hz). DC coupling is also provided. Award-winning DewesoftX software is
included at no cost with every Dewesoft DAQ system. In addition to a rich set of built-in recording and analytical functions there are options available for specific applications like SRS, FRF, modal analysis, sine processing, sound analysis, and many more. Software updates and upgrades are free of charge for the life of the instrument. DewesoftX runs on a Windows computer that connects to the system via USB 3.0. All eight channels can be streamed to disk at up to 15 MS/sec each.

business Metegrity to bring a new solution to market that will tackle asset downtime by optimising asset strategy and increasing visibility of equipment performance in real time to better manage operations and interventions. Combining ABB’s deep domain expertise, data analytics and industrial AI
A
capability with Metegrity’s leading asset integrity management and risk-based inspection software, customers will be able to perform advanced risk analysis on their assets with the intent of increasing asset reliability, reducing maintenance costs and turnaround time as well as boosting up-time. In addition, the new collaboration will streamline compliance reporting,
moving away from a traditional paper-based approach or fragmented systems to an integrated digital one, with all asset data stored in a central, easily accessible database for a single source of truth. This will enable operators to instantly access insights on the condition of specific assets, at a micro or macro level, in the event of an incident or ahead of an audit. Martin Fingerhut, CEO from Metegrity said: “Asset integrity management is
a critical element of successful operations but remains an area where many businesses are yet to digitalise. Working with ABB, we are now able to provide an end-to-end solution to customers to help them on their digital journey in a way that maximises asset productivity and output.” Troy Stewart, lead for ABB Energy Industries UK, commented: “The global
pandemic has pushed industry to innovate like never before and automation, AI and machine learning is becoming increasingly critical in order to build and ensure resilience of infrastructure and operations.”
