Examples of systems developed by AOIP
Non-contact measurement of disk brake performance features
Requirements: Performance (braking efficiency, brake life time...) depends on:
- Rotation Thickness Variation (RTV)): Not even and steady disk brake thickness
- Run out: Axis shift during rotation
- Wobbling: Unveven rotation or movement
Solution:
- Two or more capacitive sensors
- Two or more conditioning units
- Multi-channel data acquisition unit
- Real-time processing and easy-to-customize data management software
Application fields:
- Automotive: disk brake manufacturers
- Manufacturers of test bench: ageing test bench, automate non-contact distortion measurement
Humidity control inside bulk
Requirements:
- High accurate and sensitive humidity measurement inside bulk
- System adapted to field environment
- Measurement allowed up to water saturation
Solution:
- Two or more capacitive sensors
- Two or more conditioning units
- Multi-channel data acquisition unit
- Real-time processing and easy-to-customize data management software
Some solutions already exist on the market to measure humidity, although with some drawbacks:
Infra-red technology: Surface test only
Impedance technology:Little accurate solution due to simple phase test and only suitable for laboratory measurements
Application fields:
- Food processing: Producers of dried food, powders...
- Agriculture: Optimisation of irrigation, seed depth...
- Plastic industry: Control of solids content of plastic granules...
- Pharmacy: Research on humidity level optimisation, control of storage conditions, compliance to drug safety standards...
- Material: Paper, wood, cement, sand, phosphate...
Optimisation of compressor and turbine efficiency
Requirements:
- High frequency acquisition (up to 300 kHz) of distance values
- Very accurate data acquisition system
- Dedicated software
Solution:
- Two or more capacitive sensors
- Two or more conditioning units
- Multi-channel data acquisition unit
- Real-time processing and easy-to-customize data management software
Application fields:
- Energy / Aircraft: Manufacturers of turbines, blades, compressors...
- Aircraft: Test of turbine design, blade tip clearance, blade tip timing, control of blade safety...
