HBM Test and Measurement (HBM) is introducing its new industrial signal conditioner ClipX for use with force, torque and other quantities - 'Clip. Measure. Control.' With an accuracy class of 0.01 and a digital working standard calibration certificate, HBM says that ClipX is setting new standards in industrial process control. The module adapts to any measurement task, regardless of whether it is used for single- or multiple-channel applications, manufacturing machines or production monitoring. Particularly suitable for applications with a high degree of automation, the ClipX helps to ensure customers in the industrial automation sector are equipped and ready for the digitalisation of production processes.

Now available from the HBM FiberSensing industrial interrogator range are the new FS22 Industrial BraggMETER optical measurement units, which are specifically designed to interrogate Fiber Bragg Grating-based sensors in industrial environments.

The automation of manufacturing processes using pneumatic control has delivered many benefits, especially in hygienic applications where improved productivity, cleanliness and safety have been achieved. The launch of Burkert's Type 8652 AirLINE valve island builds on this progress with improved communications, diagnostics and safety features.
