 To measure machinery or structural vibration, a transducer is needed to convert the mechanical motion into an equivalent electrical signal. Each sensor has distinct advantages in certain situations and limitations in others, so it is important to select the most suited transducer or sensor for your job. Equally important is selecting the appropriate parameter of vibration amplitude for measurement. IRD has a wide range of transducers and accelerometers available to help you obtain accurate, reliable data, whether your concern is vibration monitoring, analysis, or dynamic balancing.

Hardy Process Solutions has established itself as an industry leader in the weighing automation world by providing high accuracy and precision measurements, while seamlessly integrating process weight signals into the plant control system.

In almost all industries, manufacturing operations require materials to be weighed at some point of the production process. Process instrumentation can help improve processes and achieve operational excellence in the four major areas of the supply chain.

STOCK - for accurate inventory management
MAKE - the ability to deploy batch and/or continuous processes
PACK - for accurate and repeatable filling measurement and control
SHIP - for flexible consolidation and reconsolidation of packed goods
