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.
Over the last 25 years, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) has become more powerful, accessible, and affordable. But the need for physical vibration testing has remained, for correlation, verification, package testing or final acceptance.
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.
In today’s market we see the need to access data quicker and more efficiently. To be able to understand your plant and asset health, to enable smart decisions to be made using your own data and communicate with teams in remote areas. Starting your Digital twin journey can be challenging.
Most sensors are transducers, converting the physical quantity to measure into a generated output to digitalise. For decades, the generated output has been electrical in natures, therefore the name “electrical sensors”.
Vibration test systems, also called shakers, are used for laboratory testing, modal and structural analysis, squeak and rattle, package testing, and durability testing of objects of practically any size – ranging from small electrical components through to complete systems and large payloads.
NVMS’s highly-regarded Noise Assessor Course is coming to Brisbane next week, and with a couple of places still available it’s not too late to register. We’re also seeking expressions of interest to bring the course to Melbourne in 2025.
