Measuring system combines best of both
worlds
HBM has combined the strengths of its MGCsplit and MGCplus products to give measurement engineers a single system for both centralised and distributed measurements.

Six month payback is expected following the installation of HBM monitoring equipment for the press-fit routines in a new type of automated production line.
Using a centralised solution means that all transducer cables are connected to the measurement system, while the distributed solution uses a network of stand-alone measurement modules.
The latest HBM system enables the distributed modules of the MGCsplit to be easily connected to the central MGCplus unit using pre-assembled connection cables.
The software ensures full compatibility by considering the combined unit as a single system.
Using the combined system allows test engineers greater flexibility since the concepts can be implemented and combined in a variety of ways.
On test rig applications, for example, the MGCplus unit can be used for day-to-day measurement tasks and then expanded with the MGCsplit as needed with the distributed measurement modules.
For mobile applications, HBM provides IP65 protected measurement modules.
The expansion modules work in a wide range of adverse conditions including extremes of temperature and high humidity.
The combined MGC measuring system gives reliable data, EMC protection and full performance at all times. Request a free brochure from HBM UK ...
