Latest Spider8 Gives Greater Stability

HBM has launched the Spider8-30 system with 600 Hz carrier frequency technology to give high stability and low noise sensitivity for experimental stress analysis.

HBM has launched the Spider8-30 system with 600 Hz carrier frequency technology to give high stability and low noise sensitivity for experimental stress analysis Spider8-30 is the latest version of HBM's Spider8 universal digital multi-channel data acquisition system

The basic system provides 4 measurement channels with 600 Hz carrier frequency and 16 digital inputs/outputs.

It is fitted with a parallel port for connection to a PC and a single RS232C interface to allow expansion of up to 4 additional SR30 600 Hz modules or with SR01 DC voltage modules for active encoders, thermocouples and resistance thermometers.

The system has been designed for strain gages using all types of Wheatstone bridge circuit.

For connecting single strain gages using 3-wire technique, each channel has been fitted with three selectable completion resistors (120, 350, 700 ohms).

A shunt resistor can be connected to create defined detuning to enable the sensitivity loss to be determined.

The Spider8-30 can be used with Spider8 models to build up a system with up to 64 channels by connecting the systems in cascade.

The Spider8-30 is also available for mobile use as an 8 or 16 channel version called the Spider8-Mobil. Request a free brochure from HBM UK ...
