Portable high precision sensor measurement tool for test, calibration and fault finding

Now available in the UK from Ixthus Instrumentation, Burster’s new TRANS CAL 7281 is a high precision hand-held portable test and calibration tool for sensor components used on equipment such as hydraulic presses, torque tools, high precision measuring devices and pressure-regulating systems on assembly lines. The battery or mains powered instrument supports strain gauge/normalized signal ± 5 V, ± 10 V, and potentiometric sensors; and includes a strain gauge simulator up to 50 mV/V. Combined with a reference sensor the device provides a high-precision reference measurement chain for force or torque etc. The compact instrument can also be used for routine testing to measure and record isolation resistances and input/output resistances, and as a fault-finding tool for service engineers. An optional factory calibration certificate and/or German accredited DAkkS calibration certificate is available when the measurement device needs to be used as a reference.

The TRANS CAL 7281 can store up to sixteen programs and has a data logging capacity of 30,000 measurements which can be shared and transferred to a PC with Burster’s DigiCal configuration and data-acquisition software for display and reporting functions which also includes test certificates compilation. Furthermore Burster’s TEDS software can be used to automatically load measuring chain values.

A dedicated version for reference measuring chain of compression load from 20 N to 100 kN with DKD/DAkkS calibration certificate is also available. The 72-REF-EN version uses the full featured 7281 for the calibration of press-fit force measuring equipment and is typically used with Burster’s high precision 8527 series sensor and is supplied all connection cabling and DigiCAL PC software.
