NVMS has enhanced its sound level meter calibration capability with the introduction of the HBK Type 3630-A. This advanced, automated system improves accuracy, repeatability, and turnaround times while ensuring strict standards compliance. The result is greater measurement confidence, robust traceable documentation, and stronger support for regulatory, workplace, and environmental compliance requirements.
Discover how HBK’s Carrier Frequency excitation overcomes noise and temperature drift in strain gauge measurements. Learn why replacing DC excitation with high-frequency AC and patented 3/4-wire technology delivers cleaner, more stable, and more reliable data in demanding environments.
Introducing the HBK Troubleshooting Analyser, bringing you the same engineering-grade capability relied on by industry leaders, at a price that competes with low-cost alternatives. For decades, HBK has set the benchmark in sound and vibration (S&V) testing. These solutions have been trusted worldwide for their performance, accuracy, and reliability, helping engineers, researchers, and manufacturers tackle the most demanding measurement challenges.
As industries around the world continue to evolve, the need for high-speed, low-latency simulation technologies has never been greater. HBK’s Virtual Testing division, including CCRT and VI-grade, is at the forefront of transforming how automotive, defence, and other industries approach product development.
Monitoring planetary gearboxes is an important part of any asset health program, whether they are driving HPGR units, Reclaimers, Mills, Rolls in a steel plant or paper mill or even in HME applications. This blog post will explore how the Orbit DCM redefines the monitoring of planetary gearboxes, providing real-time, actionable insights to ensure the health and performance of your critical assets.
Calibration is critical to any measurement system, ensuring accurate, reliable, and traceable data. NVMS's NATA-accredited calibration laboratories in Perth, WA, and Sydney, NSW, provide comprehensive services across Australia, essential for industries like manufacturing, engineering, scientific research, and local government to maintain measurement integrity and meet required standards.
In today’s industry 4.0 landscape, HBK (Hottinger Brüel & Kjær) and NVMS are advancing the capabilities of IO-Link-enabled force, torque, and load sensors by setting new standards in measurement efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness for critical industrial applications. IO-Link Sensors are leveraging digital communication, they streamline installation and maintenance, reduce overhead costs, and integrate seamlessly into a wide array of industrial systems.
Multiple data acquisition systems (DAQ’s) are available on the market. Within the NVMS/HBK portfolio, there are multiple product families of great data acquisition systems, with names such as QuantumX, SomatXR, LAN-XI, Genesis, etc. The criteria to select the most suitable DAQ vary.
Sometimes advances in technology enable new features and extended capabilities that expand your range of options. Sometimes you simply need to replace old tools. The new generation B&K 2245 and 2255 sound level meters are task-tailored, class 1 measurement solutions. They work seamlessly with specially created mobile apps, PC software and feature an open API interface, bringing an entirely new level of efficiency, control and connectivity.
Many players in the space industry in Australia and New Zealand rely on HBK LDS vibration test systems, often called “shakers”. These shakers rely on accelerometers to measure induced vibrations and provide feedback to the controller.
Load cells are crucial for precise weight measurement in all industrial and commercial applications. They are the single most critical component in any weighing system be it stand-alone or integrated into a production line, or any continuous processing infrastructure across every industry.
The de-carbonization of some sectors of the Australian society and economy continues. So does the electrification of various products, including cars, energy storage, buses, some kitchen stoves, the first boats, etc. Many of these products require batteries.
Space-related activities are accelerating in New Zealand, Queensland, South Australia and within many Australian universities such as ANU, UNSW and more.
The HBK 2255 Sound Level Meter with Building Acoustics Partner is designed specifically for building acoustics measurements. Lightweight and robust, HBK 2255 and its accessories are ideally suited for use on real-world building sites, where dust and debris are more commonplace than functioning elevators.
Often known for their shakers, data acquisition systems (DAQ) and acoustic solutions, HBK also designs and manufactures a wide variety of sensors and transducers. They measure strain, force, load, torque, displacement, acceleration, current, voltage, sound, noise, pressure and more.
The scientific, technical, and economic activity around Space, Aerospace, and Defence is on the increase in both Australia and New Zealand and is driven by various factors.
Since 2023, NVMS has been the channel partner in Australia and New Zealand for Dytran, now part of HBK.Dytran, located in California, has manufactured sensors and accelerometers for over 43 years.
To develop, improve, certify, or troubleshoot a product, physical testing is required either on a test bench or in the field. Usually, the more complex or larger the product, the more measurements are required.
