HEAVY EQUIPMENT

FIELD TESTING HEAVY EQUIPMENT

MEASURING STRAIN, VIBRATION & PRESSURE IN SITU

The Challenge:

• Collecting physical measurements on heavy equipment like tractors, cranes and earth movers
• Measuring structural stress, strain, acceleration or hydraulic pressure in the field
• Human factor testing including vehicle safety or usage vibration data
• Unpredictable environmental factors like weather and temperature
• Complicated cable runs that can get tangled, damaged or alter test dynamics
• Space, size and weight constraints for instrumentation
• Remote locations with limited access to power or communication signals

The Solution:

• Ultra-small DTS data acquisition systems and sensors
• Designed to embed on or in test articles for cable-free testing
• Positioning the DAS near the sensors improves data quality and reduces set-up time
• Modular systems, user configurable, ideal for low or high-channel count tests
• Supports a variety of external sensors or built-in sensor options
• IP68 rated systems available for dust and water ingress
• Store in place reliability, data writes directly to flash memory
• Easy, intuitive software for set-up, logging, viewing and data export
