Core Features of Micro-Measurements Signal Conditioners:

  • High-Fidelity Signal Amplification: Our conditioners provide precise amplification, ensuring that even small strain signals are accurately captured and processed.
  • Noise Reduction Technology: Advanced filtering minimizes environmental noise, providing clean, reliable data for critical applications.
  • Compatibility with StrainSmart: Seamless integration with our StrainSmart software for easy data acquisition and analysis.
  • Dynamic Data Acquisition: Ideal for capturing transient or rapidly changing strain measurements in real-time.
  • Scalability: Modular design allows systems to scale from small test setups to large industrial installations.

Industry Applications for Signal Conditioning Amplifiers

In the Automotive industry, our systems capture real-time strain measurements during crash tests or vehicle component evaluations to ensure safety and compliance, offering a reliable solution to meet rigorous industry standards.

 

For Aerospace, our systems enable precise monitoring of stress in aircraft wings, fuselage, and other critical components under dynamic flight conditions. In Civil Engineering, we provide real-time strain monitoring for bridges, buildings, and various structures under dynamic loads. In industrial applications, our signal conditioners deliver accurate strain measurements that are ideal for process monitoring during manufacturing.

2100


2100 is a high performance but simple amplifier. Up to 10 channels in a rack share a common power supply. Setup is simple and intuitive, with front-panel manual controls for bridge excitation, user-definable shunt calibration, and a gain multiplier and Vernier adjustment from 1 to 2100.

 

2200


2200 offers individual power supplies for improved channel-to-channel separation. It offers a wider gain range, high frequency response, automatic balance control and constant voltage or current excitation. It is ideal for harsh environment measurements, with a common-mode input of up to +/-350 volts, and a driven-guard shield connection for improved environmental noise rejection over conventional ground shield connection systems.

2300


2300 is the choice for impact and other high-speed transient events such as split Hopkinson bar and explosive tests. Separate power supplies per channel, very high frequency response and ultra-wide gain and automatic balance, 4-step user-definable shunt calibration, user-definable filters as well as switchable AC coupling make this a versatile and high-performance amplifier.
