Course description
This seminar is aimed at:
- Engineers who are new to using accelerometers for vibration measurement
- Engineers who are associated with the testing world whilst not actually involved with testing
- Test engineers who have experience without a full understanding of accelerometer design
- Design Engineers, Managers, Product specifiers
The primary aim of this seminar is to provide valuable practical information to engineers and managers, to improve their understanding and application and use of accelerometers, how they should be selected for different applications and how to maximise the accuracy of data from the sensor.
This seminar will cover the following topics:
- Introduction
- A brief history of key vibration measurement principles
- The principles of accelerometer operation
- Types of Accelerometer, PE, IEPE, MEMS
- Accelerometer selection
- Importance of correct cable use
- Dealing with noise and noise sources
- Accelerometer mounting
- Associated instrumentation
About the presenter:
Neill Ovenden avoids the term ‘veteran’ of the testing industry but after 35 years it is inevitable. Starting as a test engineer in the Aerospace industry he progressed to work in the Defence, Automotive, Electronics and Industrial sectors within the product test and development field, throughout this time his work involved the use of accelerometers, vibration shakers, analysis equipment, explosives, environmental and most other testing regimes. After a move into the murky world of technical sales & marketing with Data Physics, LMS and others, his most recent period of 10 years was as Managing Director of the UK’s only test and measurement accelerometer manufacturer DJB Instruments. As well as his work with DJB, he has also run his own consultancy and training company since 2007, specialising in training on site and at organised events.
We will be running two sessions of this course ONLINE to provide opportunities to all global time zones, see below for details:
Course cost will be £50+VAT per delegate, this is for one session.
