HBM launches free webinar series
11 Mar 2014
HBM is launching a series of free webinars this month to cover a variety of topics designed to enhance engineering knowledge.
HBM is offering three free on-line webinars during March that examine a variety of different topics for engineers needing to be at the forefront of the latest developments in data acquisition.
The webinar on 18th March looks at how engineers can efficiently measure torque in marine propulsion systems and discusses how the integration of modern torque measurement technology into a ship’s drive train can improve the efficiency of the engines.
Klaus Weissbrodt is currently developing high-capacity HBM torque measurement solutions for the marine industry and will host the webinar.
He will explain how using torque transducers can help optimise the economic operation of the ship’s propulsion systems while providing added protection for the environment.
Other topics that will be covered include the need to gather exact measured values for optimum load distribution and how using torque flange technology can assist in monitoring the load distribution of a ship’s drive train.
Engineers will learn what key steps are needed to ensure the successful integration of torque flanges with a ship’s drive train and a number of examples where the technology has been successfully deployed will be revealed.
The webinar on 19th March highlights 10 ways in which engineers can avoid wasting time on durability testing. This looks at how engineers can ensure they improve any validation tests to avoid them becoming expensive, slow, or possibly useless.
Finally, a webinar on 25th March will look at load monitoring systems in press applications.
Presented by Thomas Kleckers and Michael Guckes, product and application managers for Force Measurement and Industrial Process Control Electronics at HBM, the webinar will demonstrate how modern sensors and electronics can help engineers optimise measurement acquisition in press or similar applications.
Force measurement in these applications is typically done with sensors working in a force shunt.
Strain gauges can be used as sensors but applying and wiring them is often difficult and time consuming and strain links are often used to control the press process.
This webinar will cover how to use strain links for optimising load monitoring systems.
Webinars are accessible worldwide from any computer with an internet connection. Prior registration is required although participation is free.
All webinars comprise an initial presentation followed by a question and answer session. Unless otherwise stated, the webinars last one hour.
