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.
Depending on the configuration, the Spider8 can measure temperatures using thermocouples or PT 100 or DC voltages and DC currents.
Options include up to 16 digital I/Os and a trigger input.
The equipment does not have any switches, potentiometers or jumpers and the Spider8 can be connected to a PC via the printer port or a USB adapter on the USB port.
Each channel has a supply for passive transducers, amplifiers, filters and analogue to digital (A/D) convertors.
All A/D convertors work synchronously and supply up to 9600 values per second at a resolution of 16bit per channel.
The equipment is ready to use and is competitively priced compared with alternative measuring systems.
HBM offers special price packages for purchasers of the Spider8 when bought in conjunction HBM's catman software.
The software is used for tasks such as controlling measuring devices, visualising measured data and taking automatic script-controlled measurement runs. Request a free brochure from HBM UK ...
