vibration monitoring tilt transducer pressure transmitter VIBRATION MONITORING Flexibility and increasing cost pressures have been an important topic for years when it comes to vibration monitoring of manufacturing and assembly processes and the automation of test rigs. This situation forces companies involved in plant and equipment construction to use as many rationalisation measures as possible. Development in the field bus sector offers the potential for innovation and cost saving. In order to be able to make use of this potential, signal processing must satisfy new demands. The solution for signal processing is called ”PME” - the intelligent product line for industrial measurement technique. The PME range of products offer different types of modules for recording of all measured quantities relevant to processing, such as force, displacement, pressure, temperature, speed, frequency and torque. HBM Force Transducers measure static and dynamic tensile and pressure loads - and virtually without any displacement. Force Transducers can be supplied in the most varied of designs and classes of accuracy. Typical application areas include test bench technology, e.g. measuring force to check material quality and automation technology, e.g. for vibration monitoring quality features when reshaping or bonding. HBM’s own DKD calibration laboratory mirrors the company’s competence in the area of force measurement.
