Calibration Dynamics product story

The MB Win 475 allows ICP, charge and voltage mode accelerometers to be tested while the system is driven through a PC interface.
Calibration Dynamics is the exclusive UK distributor for MB Dynamics and markets the MB Win 475 automated calibration system.
It offers reliable, high efficiency, automated solutions to the calibration of accelerometers, vibration sensors and displacement transducers.
ICP, charge and voltage mode accelerometers can all be tested, while the system is driven through a PC interface.
It slashes calibration costs, maximises productivity, assures consistent quality and manages transducer data automatically.
Used extensively throughout the global aerospace, defence and automotive markets, this complete solution offers an easy to use system enabling the rapid and often fully automatic test and calibration of a broad range of vibration sensors.
The Win475 is able to test and calibrate virtually all accelerometers and velocity sensors regardless of size and weight, including charge, low impedance, voltage, servo, strain gauge, piezoresistive and capacitive.
It also calibrates displacement and velocity transducers, even those with a built-in meter and no AC output.
There are no operator adjustments required for gain and vibration levels as the software controlled system virtually eliminates operator error, enhances repeatability, ensures optimum signal to noise ratio and minimises uncertainty.
The system can be configured for operation from 1Hz to 10kHz, 25mm peak to peak and up to 40G peak, and swept and step-sine, random vibration and shock profiles can be managed by the user.
The Win475 is fully compliant with the relevant requirements of ISO/IEC17025 and can therefore be cost justified for many applications with as few as fifty transducers.
It has a system transfer uncertainty of 0.25%, measured as a "total system" rather than computing from a "summation of many independent components" approach which matches or surpasses more expensive alternatives.
The STU provides frequency domain values, not one number and can be measured and re-verified at any future time.
Laboratories can use the Win475 to comply, for calibration or vibration transducers, with ANSI/NCSL Z540-1-1994 "Calibration Laboratories and Measurement and Test Equipment - General Requirement" and relevant requirement of ISO9000 (ANSI/ ASQC series), ISO/IEC17025, ISO16063-1 and ISO5347.
