Educational events: weighing technology and stress analysis

Weighing Technology Day

HBM's free Technology Day on 30 May 2012 will focus on weighing technology applications, solutions and new products. During this informative and interesting day, HBM will demonstrate the best way to apply the optimum load cells to the right application and give advice on ways of minimising measurement errors to improve the accuracy of measured values. In addition, attendees will gain a better understanding of what environmental conditions and outside disturbances need to be taken into account when designing weighing applications.

The latest trends in state-of-the-art weighing technology will be presented, and there will be ample opportunities for attendees to ask questions of HBM's knowledgeable experts.

HBM's Weighing Technology event takes place at Burleigh Court Conference Centre, Loughborough, on Wednesday 30 May 2012, from 09:30 to 16:30 (register before 18 May to be sure of a place). Attendance is free!
