HBM webinar series
28 Oct 2014
HBM has announced a series of free on-line webinars starting in the latter part of October and taking place throughout November.
The first of the November series starts on 4th November by looking at how the mechanical stress testing of elastic materials validates finite element analysis (FEA) for material development and testing.
Engineers will learn how to perform these tests including selecting appropriate strain gauge rosettes, various modes of strain gauge connectivity, data acquisition setup, acquiring strain data and calculating principal stress.
The webinar will also discuss how to determine the von Mises reference stress, class counting and sector monitoring.
This is followed by five webinars on successive days.
Starting on the 10th November there is a webinar on strain gauge measurements on Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) that are exposed to high mechanical loads during production and mounting processes.
These events can damage a board or any components mounted on it leading to failures in the field. Measuring the stresses occurring during these processes can uncover potential weak points, improve the process and improve product quality.
Next, Rolf Mendel, senior project manager, will present a webinar entitled “Simplifying Large Channel Count DAQ Systems” that explores different workflows for fast and easy configuration of these systems.
Users typically want to reduce setup times and increase testing time and this webinar enables viewers to share ways of simplifying the process.
This webinar is followed by an overview of integrating torque sensors into automation environments using the TIM-EC interface module.
Markus Haller, product manager for Torque Measurement Technology, and Christian Trapp, developer for Torque Measurement Technology, examine the advantages and features of the TIM-EC and demonstrate how to efficiently integrate torque sensors combined with the TIM-EC into existing and new automation systems.
The next webinar, on 13th November, focuses on the use of HBM’s PMX to enhance the planning, commissioning and operation of industrial test stands.
Introduced by Michael Guckes, product manager Industrial Electronics, the webinar will look at the many factors that need to be considered when planning new test stands as requirements becoming increasingly demanding.
Finally, on the 14th November there will be a webinar focused on obtaining power measurements from wind turbine generators where the efficient operation is dependent on the energy conversion efficiency. Analysing the raw performance data can increase a generator’s efficiency that is defined as the ratio between the generators’ power output and the power consumed.
