Piezo sensors - TECHDAY WITH PCB PIEZOTRONICS
14 May 2024 Pretoria | 16 MaY 2024 Somerset West
The extreme environments of aerospace, defence, and product development testing pose some severe challenges to measuring good, representative data. Measurement in blast, shock, and environmental testing requires fast response, stability under changing environmental conditions, serve noise and drift signals, high shock loading and the risk of overloading or damaging measurement equipment. For decades PCB Piezotronics have been developing sensor technologies to meet these difficult requirements. Join us to explore the technologies that make shock, vibration, pressure, and acoustic measurements possible under some of the most challenging measurement test conditions known to man. Learn the fundamentals of measurement challenges, how technology solves this and how best to select Piezoelectric sensors for your own test environment.
Who is this for?
- Test personnel and their managers
- Design and analysis staff who use test measurement for model, component and full-scale system verification
- Calibration laboratory staff
- Data reduction personnel
- Anyone whose work depends on the output from piezoelectric sensors for the measurement of serve mechanical behaviour
