Crane’s CheckstarApril 27, 2007
Crane's CheckStar model transducers, fit in-line between the assembly tool and the fastener, measuring the actual torque applied and angular rotation of the fastener, under production conditions.
Whatever the vibration and shock loads experienced, CheckStar’s patented contact system ensures contact is always maintained between the readout and the strain gauges. CheckStar forms an essential part of the Crane UTA torque system, enabling Plug and Play operation with Crane readout devices. On board intelligence means the UTA CheckStar is automatically recognized by the Crane readout device, eliminating set-up errors and enabling logging of serial number against measurements for complete traceability.

Racelogic releases VBox MiniApril 27, 2007
UK Based Racelogic recently released the VBox Mini, a compact, yet powerful GPS based speed measurement device, including data logging and an LCD display.
Operators can measure all aspects of vehicle performance, and review the results instantly on the built-in LCD display. It’s great for lap timing, giving the driver instant feedback on lap-times, split-times, and corner speeds. The built in SD card interface with USB gives full data logging capabilities, and comes with the powerful VBox Tools software analysis package as supplied with the VBox II / III range. This software with its graph screen, circuit map, data grid and Report Generator function is used the world over for data analysis by the majority of motor manufacturers, tyre companies, and magazines. There is an analogue output option and a dedicated input module with a mixture of analogue, thermocouple and digital inputs (including rpm). The VBox Mini is exceptional value for money, enjoyable to use, and has a dazzling array of features. Racelogic VBox products are distributed in Australia by Applied Measurement.

We are about to release a new 10Hz GPS speed sensor. Housed in a CNC machined IP66 sealed box, this sensor is very small and rugged, but provides many useful outputs:
Speed, Position, Lap marker, Lateral accel, Longitudinal Accel, Height, Vertical Velocity, Lean angle and more. Analogue, digitla, CAN and serial outputs.
VBox New Unique Slip Angle Sensor LaunchedDecember 1, 2006
Unique Slip Angle sensor launched
Racelogic are pleased to announce the launch of the new twin antenna 20Hz Slip Angle Sensor. Interest in this device is very strong, as it brings new levels of useability and can also measure pitch or roll angle at the same time. Accuracies down to 0.1 degrees are achievable, and the sensor reaches new levels of dynamic response and low noise levels. For more information Please give us a call
D Series InclinometerJuly 5, 2006
Applied Measurement is pleased to introduce the new MSI D Series Inclinometer with high resolution at very low cost. With resolution of 0.001 degrees, the D Series is much more accurate than traditional fluid level tilt sensors but much less expensive than high accuracy servo units. The D Series Inclinometer can be used for any levelling application, including mobile and stationary cranes, lifting platforms, mobile weighing systems and outdoor equipment. This CE-approved tilt sensor is housed in a rugged aluminum package to protect the electronics from the elements. The D Series is rated IP67 for use in the harshest environmental conditions.
Features include: Ø IP67 rating for total protection against dust and immersion in up to 1 meter of water Ø Robust technology that withstands shock and vibration Ø .001 degree resolution Ø Inclinometer programmable Ø High accuracy over wide temperature range due to internal compensation Ø Meets EMC-Standard EN 61000-6-2,4 Ø High reliability and repeatability Ø Easy to use; ready for installation via connector Ø Excellent cost-performance ratio The D Series Inclinometer is available in 3 measurement ranges: +/- 5º, +/- 15º or +/- 30º. Outputs are available as analog (0.5 to 4.5 VDC or 4-20 mA), PWM (1 kHz, 20…80%), digital (RS232) or switching output signals (.1 degree step). Proprietary Sensing Technology The D Series inclination sensors operate on a proprietary capacitive technology using electrolytic fluid. Platinum electrodes are deposited in pairs on the base of the sensor’s cell parallel to the sensitive axis. The chamber is partially filled with an electrolytic liquid. When an alternating voltage is passed between two electrodes, the electric current will create a dispersed field. By tilting the sensor and thereby reducing the level of the liquid, it is possible to confine this stray field. Because of the constant, specific conductivity of the electrolytes a variance of resistance is formed in relation to the liquid level.

DesignLife launchMay 8, 2006
nCode will be launching and demonstrating its next generation fatigue analysis solution, DesignLife™, at this year's Automotive Testing Exhibition in Stuttgart. The new software, from the world's leader in fatigue analysis technology, is the first fully integrated CAE and Test environment for advanced durability engineering and has been found to reduce key areas of fatigue analysis development time by as much as 90%. Forthcoming releases in the current year include DesignLife, significant new functionality in GlyphWorks 4 and ICE-flow Library 4, as well as continued development of leading SoMat products. By combining CAE and Test functionality in a single user environment, DesignLife helps to optimize the efficiency of the durability process, thus reducing overall product development time and costs.
