Extremely reliable measurement system guaranteed
Engineers from TECHNOLAS Perfect Vision were looking specifically for a manufacturer whose core business is measuring sensors, and for a system that comes from a manufacturing environment.
The PMX from HBK stands for both precision and reliability – thanks in part to the interference-proof HBK carrier frequency technology (CF) and automatic sensor detection via TEDS. The sample rate is 19.2 kilohertz per channel – for 16 measurement channels and 32 internal computing channels.
Thanks to the high measuring bandwidths, signals can be processed extremely rapidly.
In the VICTUS® , a three-fold redundant SG system records the signals and transmits them to the PMX. From there they are directed via a bus system to a computer – the "brain" of the system – for analysis.
Data is transmitted by a longer analog route within the VICTUS®. Normally that is not ideal, since every attempt is usually made to keep spatial distances short when analyzing analog signals.
The digitization should also be positioned directly on the sensors, but that was not possible for space reasons.
However, this was no problem for the PMX The amplifier returns reliable values despite the longer distance.
