Helping with a testing role

Berkshire-based safety specialist, Kee Safety, is using a range of HBM products to ensure that its latest PPE conforms to EN 795:1997 for anchor devices in protecting workers against the possibility of falls from height.

It uses HBM's Quantum MX840, U9B force transducers and catman Easy software for the R&D of its horizontal life line, KeeLine, in both dynamic drop tests and static tests on full-scale built-up roofs at its factory.

The compact MX840A 8-channel universal amplifier can support up to 15 different transducers per channel.

All eight inputs provide 24-bit analog-to-digital converter with synchronised data acquisition at sample rates to 19.2kHz. Inputs are electrically isolated to ensure high measurement accuracy.
