As sensors in a force shunt must be calibrated together with their system after assembly, the new Adjustment Assistant from HBM – market leader in the field of test and measurement – makes this process simple

Designed to quickly and reliably calibrate sensors together with the PMX industrial amplifier system from HBM, the new Adjustment Assistant guides users through the process with simple menu navigation and step by step instructions, enabling the adjustment process to be undertaken in seconds.

The new Adjustment Assistant, which can be seamlessly integrated into the PMX web server to display the measurement data in the browser, can also be used to easily control calibration of up to four sensors at a time.

By using a reference sensor for the calibration process, the measurement signal is firstly recorded via an external measuring chain or directly using the PMX measuring amplifier. The program then processes the different signals from measurements with and without load, calculates the scaling for each sensor to be calibrated and then applies it directly.

In addition to this, setting parameters are automatically documented in the PMX log file, which can be easily accessed from the PMX web server on all standard web browsers and mobile terminal devices.

Measuring the acting forces correctly is key to industrial process control as it is the only way to increase product quality and reduce overall production costs. The new Adjustment Assistant from HBM is an intuitive programme designed to conveniently guide users quickly and easily through the calibration process.
