Fluke Calibration Adds Three New Models
Fluke Calibration announces the addition of three new models to its P3100 Hydraulic Deadweight Tester line of pressure calibrators. The new testers extend the P3125 oil-operated, dual PCU product line, allowing users to calibrate more devices with one instrument. The P3125XT-BAR measures from 1 to1200 bar, the P3125XT-KGCM2 from 1 to 1200 kgf/cm2, and the […]
Radiometeric Calibration Transfer Across the 320-1100nm Spectral Range
The SR-1100-TE spectroradiometer is well-suited for radiometric calibration transfer involving satellite sensors and integrated spheres. With a 320-1100nm spectral range and compact design, you can take calibration to the integrating sphere – minimizing downtime and increasing efficiency. The SR-1100-TE features a 512 element TE-cooled silicon photodiode array for high performance measurements with stable temperature control […]
Renishaw introduces surface finish measurement for CMMs
Renishaw’s SFP1 probe option for the REVO five-axis measurement system allows surface finish inspection to be fully integrated within coordinate measurement routines. With a measurement capability of 6.3 to 0.05 Ra, the SFP1 surface finish probe makes the CMM a “single platform” metrology system. It eliminates the need for hand-held surface measurement devices or transporting parts to […]
Renishaw will launch SPRINT high-speed analogue contact scanning system
Global engineering technologies company Renishaw has announced it will launch its SPRINT high-speed analogue contact scanning system for CNC machine tools, in autumn 2013. The SPRINT system incorporates a new generation of on-machine analogue scanning technology that will deliver a step-change in the benefits of process control, enabling fast and accurate form and profile data […]
Mobile technology’s influence on data acquisition trend
If there were an overarching theme – Moore’s Law would be it. As DAQ devices have grown more intelligent, these devices can do more than acquire and save data. They can intelligently adapt to conditions and communicate with devices through standard networks (such as WiFi or Ethernet). Mobile devices have become so prolific in our […]
Moore’s Law holds true for DAQs
Forty-five yrs ago, Gordon Moore predicted that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit would double every 18 months or so. The approximation predicted that the amounts of processing power will double every 1.5 – 2 years. He also predicted that this trend would last a decade. It continues to hold true. How does […]
