Datum Electronics Releases New Series 469 Bolt-On Compliant Strain Sensor

Datum Electronics releases a revolution in strain measurement for dynamic high-stress applications, simple to install a compliant strain sensor for load, weight, bending and other stresses.

Datum Electronics releases a revolution in strain measurement for dynamic high-stress applications within the automotive industry, simple to install a compliant strain sensor for load, weight, bending and other stresses

We at Datum Electronics are experts in the design of bolt-on strain solutions for industry and fully focus on our customers needs. As a result of a recent customers enquiry, we were asked to develop a simple to install bolt-on compliant strain sensor, able to:

Measure stress and load across all types of vehicle axles;
Measure stresses upon vehicle structures, subjected to load, bending and similar (likely to be encountered in a multitude of applications);
Withstand the sometimes highly dynamic forces encountered under such applications during and under live on and off road conditions.
Our highly compliant simple design (patent pending) solves the conundrum of how to measure using a bolt-on sensor in a highly dynamic application. The latest Bolt-on sensor, the "469" series Model, enables Manufacturers to cater for this high level dynamic strain applications with:

Low cost,
Highly reliable solution,
Available in high volumes and
Easily installed on the line or even retrofitted (should it be needed).
Besides the 469 Model, we provide many OEM bolt-on sensors to industry, according to individual needs and in high production volumes. All of our bolt-on strain sensors are extremely reliable and rugged in design, they remove any need for highly skilled strain gauge expertise. They also require:

No Gauge adhesives,
No Soldering,
No Complex wiring and
No Worry regarding environmental protection for the harshest of environments, even underwater.
Just Install and Forget!

We also manufacture torque sensors and shaft power measurement products for industry, including from the very small (3Nm) up to the worlds largest torque transducers up to 20MNm.

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
