Vibration testing is an integral part of the quality control program in many industries. It is essential to determine a product’s ability to withstand vibrations before its release, ensuring a sound business strategy. 

Understanding the limitations of a product enables manufacturers to continuously improve product quality. By conducting vibration resistance testing, potential product recalls can be prevented, warranty conditions can be supported, and customers can benefit from a product that offers excellent value.  

In our latest blog post, we look at the pivotal role of vibration testing in various industries such as automotive manufacturing, aerospace engineering, energy and power generation, and electronics and telecommunications.

New PRT signal conditioning and filter product launch

Kemo Ltd is pleased to announce the release of the DR PRT, this new product has been developed over the last 2 years in association with partners in the Wind Energy and Power Generation sectors.

The DR PRT is a combination of a precision PRT (Platinum Resistance Thermometer) signal conditioner and a Kemo flat response low pass filter, housed in an industrial DIN rail mount package for easy industrial installation.

The DR PRT product has been developed to overcome issues found in generators which have integral PRT temperature sensors in their generating coils, these can be subject to a strong magnetic field as the machinery rotates. This powerful varying field can cause a spurious reading on the PRT sensors, which in turn can cause aliasing problems with SCADA systems.
