Measurement technology workshops

HBM is offering a series of workshops at the Williams Conference Centre in Oxfordshire on the 11^th, 12^th and 26^th June. 

This opportunity is designed for engineers to deepen their knowledge on new measurement technologies and learn how to use modern systems effectively and safely.

Each of the workshops contains significant practical elements enabling delegates to undertake a variety of exercises on specially equipped workstations while benefiting from expert advice.  

The strain gauge workshop will look at the principles of measuring with strain gauges and how they work which will include an in-depth examination of the different types of strain gauge along with their properties and technical data.

The different types of adhesive and covering agents that are available to ensure accurate measurement with strain gauges will also be covered and there will be practical exercises to fit a strain gauge on a bending beam.

The Professional Measurement Software Made Easy workshop focuses on variants of HBM’s catman DAQ software including catman, catmanEasy and catmanAP.

Topics covered include configuring the devices and installing the software.

Delegates will be shown how to connect to a QuantumX DAQ unit along with utilising Live Update as well as how to best use filters.

An in-depth look at the sensor database and the use of TEDS will also be covered along with visualisations and creating DAQ jobs in catman

The workshop on modern day data acquisition systems will look at various developments in DAQ technology including the digitisation of analogue signals and the different kinds of A-to-D converter as well as the impact of sample rate, aliasing effect and filter characteristics.

The workshop includes three practical exercises to challenge delegates enabling them to explore various theoretical concepts with the trainers.

The electric drive seminar looks at the importance of torque and the different methods it can be measured as well as the importance of calibration.

There will then be an examination of the different methods of measuring power on inverters that will look at varying ways of obtaining measurements and consider calculations of both sinusoidal and non-sinusoidal quantities.

The weighing technology workshop will focus on various weighing applications using HBM products, along with discussions on selecting and implementing the most suitable, also looking at the key principles of weighing technology. In addition, HBM will have a number of different products available including demonstrations such as displays highlighting filling and dosing equipment.

There will be many opportunities to network and share ideas with colleagues from different areas of engineering, plus a chance to go on a tour of the world’s largest collection of Grand Prix Formula 1 racing cars.

HBM’s team of highly trained facilitators will conduct the workshops and seminars and further information can be found on HBM’s web site.
