Test rigs share calibration unit

摘要

First Pass of Westbury, Wiltshire has developed a cost-saving sub-system that allows eight dynamometer test rigs to share a single calibration unit. The approach is based on a digital rnTorqSense transducer from Sensor Technology.rnFirst Pass designed the system for a West Country manufacturer to assess its needs for life testing electric motors. The company has a large R&D department that uses eight separate rigs, driving the motors against a brake, collecting data from around the rig. The data is then analysed using Lab View.
