In the world of instrumentation, an enormous amount of data can be produced by each measuring point, which must be displayed logically and clearly, and processed. Kobold has the ZLS electronic multi-channel data logger, designed specifically to capture process signals rapidly and display them. Up to eight norm analogue or temperature-resistance signals can be […]
There are pros and cons when selecting a single four-phase instrument chassis for measurement of DC bus to three-phase output power of an inverter module. The advantages are that only a single instrument needs to be queried by software, simplifying programming and system integration time. Another advantage is size. For example, the N4L PPA3500 […]
Registration marks identify packaging material and are used for position control and to coordinate the separation and cutting of webs of packaging material. The webs are processed at high speeds and product changeovers can be frequent. The size and location of a registration mark as well as the colour, sheen and translucence of the […]
