DATARecorder is a windows based, add on software package to complement Herrmann Ultrasonics’ popular DIALOG system. DATARecorder was created to meet customer’s data management and communication requirements.
The software is loaded onto a stand alone computer and serves as a central location to network up to 16 separate DIALOG systems. Up to 40 different weld parameters are collected and recorded for each weld cycle. DATARecorder then caluculates mean values, standard deviation, process centeredness (Cp) and process capability index (Cpk). Users can also choose to seamlessly import this weld process data into their own spreadsheets or statistical process control (SPC) software.

Instron®'s syringe test fixture is designed to investigate the forces necessary to collect force versus time data in an effort to evaluate the performance of syringes and syringe/needle combinations. Data is produced as the crosshead moves down to expel the fluid from the syringe in a compressive test mode. The fixture can determine breakaway forces at the beginning of injections, as well as sustaining forces throughout the injection process. The key feature of the fixture are plastic inserts that offers a wide range of flexibility to accommodate a variety of syringe sizes and volumes to meet your testing needs.
