Live seminars

HBM’s series of free on-line webinars continue throughout May and June to complement the company’s series of live technical seminars and workshops being held in the Midlands.

The webinar on 5th June looks at the efficiency testing on electrical drive trains.

The aim of the webinar is to highlight key information regarding the testing of electric machines and inverters in the electric drive train.

The focus of attention is on optimising the efficiency measurement through live power calculation as well as continuous and synchronised acquisition of the electrical and mechanical power.

A basic challenge facing the continued development of electric vehicles is that traditional testing methods and equipment have reached their limitations for assessing – and hence facilitating the improvement of – efficiency.

The webinar examines alternative testing methods and equipment that are readily available to significantly improve efficiency. Individuals interested in either of these webinars can click here for details.

On the 11th and 12th June, shortly after this webinar, HBM on Tour 2014 – a series of technical seminars and workshops – will take place at the Williams Conference Centre in Oxfordshire. 

Delegates will be able to choose either a workshop on “The Installation of Strain Gauges and an Overview of Optical Strain Gauges” or a workshop on “Professional Measurement Software Made Easy” on the first day.

By contrast the choices on the 12th June are either a workshop on the “Practical Use of Modern Day Data Acquisition Systems” or a seminar on “Efficiency Testing on Electric Drive Trains”.

HBM on Tour 2014 represents an opportunity for engineers to deepen their knowledge of new measurement technologies and quickly learn how to use modern systems effectively and safely. HBM’s team of highly trained facilitators will conduct the workshops and seminars and further information can be found on HBM’s web site. 

HBM will also host an event, “Shopping at the Supermarket”, on Thursday, 26th June, at the Williams Conference Centre that looks at the need for highly accurate and dependable weighing technology throughout the food industry.

This event covers the use of effective weighing solutions utilised at every stage of food production – from determining the amount of grain in silos through to ensuring the exact quantity of wine in a bottle.

The event will focus on a number of different applications using HBM products along with discussions on selecting and implementing the most suitable weighing technology.

The main presentations will look at the key principles of weighing technology and, in addition, HBM will have a number of different products available. There will also be demonstrations such as displays highlighting filling and dosing equipment.

The Williams Conference Centre is located on Station Road, Grove, Oxfordshire, OX12 0DQ. Individuals wishing to register for the event or wanting more information can click here for details.
