The following examples show how measuring tasks professionally can be solved with products of BMC Messsysteme GmbH. Get inspired by the varied possibilities of applications!

In case of interest, just download a detailed application description or directly select an application from the following list. In case of big interest, please contact us for a translation of the relevant application.

Escalator steps are produced with the pressure-diecasting method and must go through a dynamic load test. In total, the piece to be tested must survive 5 million load cycles. Besides the test, the force signal must be measured and analyzed continuously. If tolerance limits are exceeded, the test machine has to turn off automatically. Finally, a printed test record is required.

To determine the arising load peaks at the wire ropes of a snow car's cable winches, measurements are made during practical use.

For the acquisition of various strain data at a glider, a reasonable, lightweight and relatively fast data logger is needed. The forces at the wings and the rudders, which are under mechanically high strain, as well as other measuring data, like the flight velocity or the in- and outside temperatures, have to be recorded.

The electrostatic charge of floor covers is to be examined, because it must not exceed certain limits.

Today, "Hygienic Design" is the central issue in plant engineering and construction. Parts and components of production systems in food industry must satisfy to the requirements of hygiene and have to be designed in a way so that they can easily be cleaned. This requires big changes in constructing machines.

The centrifugal voltage is measured at water turbine buckets.

A measurement system must be realized determining distances depending on the position. To record and visualize measuring data, a PC is used.

With a scanning tunneling microscope, the nuclear structure of conductors and semiconductors can be visualized. To receive data (information) about the samples, the tunneling current is measured arising between the tip of the microscope and the sample.

In many fields of industry, machines are needed which are exposed to extreme strains and especially also to high operating temperatures. Thats why they are usually manufactured with special metal alloys.

If the components do not have a homogenous grading during alloying as necessary, potential weak spots can emerge sometimes, possibly leading to clefts or fatigue breaks in time.

For optimizing the course of a bobsleigh run as well as for the perfect adjustment of a four-seater bob, the acceleration values have been measured in the vehicle during a run.

Our customers often ask for supervision of the power supply network or for testing network interferences.

When laying down ships, all forces and strains at the ship hull must be tested.

To analyze the breathing air in a space shuttle, a test system based on a PC was developed. During a test flight, it had to record the existing type and amount of harmful gas in the surrounding air for the protection of the astronauts. In case of successful use, also its permanent utilization on the international space platform is considered.

In a market garden, supplementary equipment for traction engines has been developed. These tools had to be tested if they were suitable for the use on arable land.

Technicians in field service can often decide about the functioning of machines by checking a few physical quantities. This requires a portable DAQ system providing the following features: easy to use and to configure, and a clear presentation of the recorded values.

In a hothouse of a big gardening, various climatic data is measured. The relevant signals are recorded automatically. If additional isolation is necessary, depends on the measuring results.

Imagine, you want to know the height of a multi-story building and you do not have a yard stick at hand? Very simple: Install a DAQ system connected to a laptop in the elevator, connect an acceleration sensor to it, go up, let a software calculate a double integration afterwards and there you have the covered distance.

When producing coated foils for the most various purposes, e.g. adhesive foils, it is important to precisively measure the layer thickness (e.g. the adhesive layer) already during manufacturing.

For the "Deutsche Bahn AG" (German Railroad Corp.) measurements were done at the Tyristor switching mechanism of an electric locomotive to supervise the switching process. Therefore, a special measuring adapter was connected to the currentless switching mechanism operated pneumatically. The switching signals were measured via two scan channels. The switching process is documented by an automatic evaluation routine.

During an energy seminar of the TU (Technical University) Berlin, a hot-water tank was constructed to watch the temperature stratification of the so-called storage module in relation to the time - in this case water - and its changes when taking and filling up water.

For examinating the contamination of buildings and bridges by the daily traffic and other environmental influences, the maximum acceleration values are to be recorded at many positions of a building for a longer period of time.

At the end of the production of a container ship, a final test or measurement trip is done. Here all units are checked if working properly. One important criterion is the power output of the driving unit in connection with the fuel consumption, since this relation is decisive for the economic operation of a ship. Noteworthy is that the DAQ system is installed in the engine room of the ship, but the recorded data yet is sampled at the bridge more than 100 yards apart.

During production, pickles must automatically be counted before filling them into cans or glasses. A few light barriers, a PIO-II and a specially developed software take care of that problem.

People with neurological diseases or diseases in the area of the lower extremities caused by strokes, accidents and traumatas are tested to make a diagnosis about their holding activity and malfunctions of motions and coordination.

During operation, brakes and clutches have varying properties, like e.g. a different response depending on temperature, wear and tear, course of the adhesive factor, etc. To measure these properties reproducably, the brake/clutch is put on a permanent test stand where all required measurement data is recorded.
