Products and presentations

HBM will demonstrate its CANhead channel system that is primarily aimed at the aerospace sector for measuring strain or force. The measuring chain includes the company’s CANhead distributed amplifier system, U10M force transducers and the MGCPlus. The 10-channel CANhead amplifier modules can be installed in immediate proximity to measuring points while standard fieldbus cables connect the CANhead modules to a communication master. 

HBM has improved its U10M force transducer with IP68 degree of protection making the transducers suitable for use in challenging ambient conditions. The cable is connected directly to the transducer contrasting with other models that utilise a bayonet-type plug. 

HBM will also feature the eDrive testing system developed around its GEN3i data recorder, T12 torque transducer and 1KV data acquisition card to measure torque, speed and electrical signals. The system ensures the continuous storage of raw data allowing live analyses for determining active and reactive power as well as energy conversion efficiency and further, more detailed analyses. 

HBM’s mobile GEN3i data recorder can transfer data directly to the storage medium at speeds as high as 200 MB/s while up to 96 input channels can be configured as required. Data can be continuously transferred to hard disk and fast sweeps recorded so that users benefit by recording, saving and visualizing millions of measurement data items per second.

Presentations

HBM will also be giving presentations during the show. On Tuesday, 11 November, Karl-Heinz Haase, Product Manager for Optical Strain Gauges and Interrogators will look at determining the strain in composite and lightweight materials with his presentation on "The Benefits of Fibre-Optical Technology in Structural Testing of Lightweight Materials”. 

This presentation will be complemented the following day when visitors interested in developments impacting on the aerospace sector will be able to attend a presentation on "How to Guarantee Fatigue Strength in the Aerospace Industry Today – With Shorter Development Cycles and Increasing Quality Standards” which will be given by Jens Boersch, Product Manager – Electrical Strain Gauges and Accessories.
