The winners in the 'Measurement Technology' category: Wolfgang Ziehers (Kistler), Martin Eppinger and Dominik Auth (Jumo) and Jessica Genz (Vahle)

3rd place - Kistler: Mobile handheld devices 5811A00 and 5811A01

3rd place - Kistler

The handheld family for measuring forces from Kistler is user-friendly and can be used on site. With the help of the two mobile devices 5811A00 and 5811A01 - each with an integrated charge amplifier - users can compare and verify the data generated by the sensors used directly on the machine without having to remove the sensors first. The two handheld devices record the measured values and visualize the measurement curve on the integrated touchscreen.

In conjunction with a traceable calibration in accordance with ISO 17025, both devices can be used as a reference measuring device. In addition to its function as a measuring amplifier, model '5811A00' is also suitable for insulation tests as proof of sensor and cable quality. The '5811A01' device, on the other hand, is equipped with three channels (including for voltage input and IO-Link technology) and is used in particular for industrial multi-channel measurements.

2nd place in the measurement technology category

2nd place - Vahle: Smart Collector current collector system

2nd place - Vahle

After the Smart Collector current collector system from Paul Vahle was recently made IDAA-capable (Intelligent Dynamic Anomaly Analysis), it has received further upgrades in the form of a thermal sensor that continuously measures the temperatures of the conductor rail during travel. This means that assembly errors or defects, for example at transitions or poorly contacted connection points, can be detected at an early stage. There is a slot for the thermal sensor on the main unit so that users do not have to purchase new hardware components or replace existing parts.

Jessica Genz von Vahle presents her trophy.

The main unit analyzes the data from the thermal sensor in real time and sends a warning message to the data center as soon as it detects thermal peaks. Similar to the already familiar movement data messages, this message is then displayed to the user in a traffic light system. By extending the phase spacing, the predictive maintenance tool can also monitor systems with a phase spacing of 18 mm and 26 mm.

1st place in the measurement technology category

1st place - Jumo: Delos S02 pressure transmitter

1st place - Jumo

According to the manufacturer Jumo, the Delos S02 pressure transmitter is easy to configure and offers high process reliability and accuracy. It is also available in an Ethernet-capable version. The pressure transmitter is used to measure relative and absolute pressures in liquid and gaseous media. The measuring ranges are between 0.1 to 100 bar rel. or 0.4 to 60 bar abs.

Martin Eppinger and Dominik Auth accepted the certificate and trophy on behalf of Jumo.

The successor to the current 'Jumo Delos SI' can be configured via Bluetooth/App or IO-Link. Thanks to the Ethernet-capable (Single Pair Ethernet/SPE) version and the cloud connection, it can be used in a wide range of industries - for example in the food and beverage, water and wastewater, heating and air conditioning technology, mechanical and plant engineering, test equipment construction and laboratories.
