Sensors, measurement systems & monitoring

Tandm Technologies

Sensors and transducers, complete measurement systems, inspection and monitoring solutions, and durability and reliability software — representing HBK, PCB Piezotronics, Micro-Epsilon, Crystal Instruments, Tekscan and others.

Selected ranges

The whole measurement chain, from sensor to decision

Tandm brings together the sensor, the acquisition hardware and the analysis software as one measurement chain — which is the only way the numbers at the end can be trusted. The ranges below are the ones we supply and support through Access Calibration Services.

Sensors & transducers

Sensors and transducers for reliable, accurate data

Load cells for weighing

Weighing load cells across capacities for vessels, platforms, silos and process equipment.

Force sensors & transducers

Static and dynamic force measurement for test rigs, presses and production equipment.

Torque transducers

Rotating and stationary torque transducers for drivetrain, motor and fastening measurement.

Pressure sensors & transducers

Pressure measurement for hydraulic, pneumatic and process applications.

Tactile pressure sensors

Thin-film tactile sensors that map pressure distribution across a contact area (Tekscan).

Displacement, distance & position sensors

Contact and non-contact measurement of movement, gap, thickness and position.

2D/3D laser scanners

Profile and surface scanning for dimensional measurement, inspection and automation.

Lidar

Lidar sensors for ranging, mapping, automation and autonomous applications.

Measurement systems

A complete measurement chain

The full Tandm measurement systems range — acquisition hardware, analysers, interfaces and loggers.

Sound level meters

Class-rated sound level measurement for occupational, environmental and product noise.

Universal DAQ

General-purpose data acquisition across bridge, voltage, temperature and IEPE inputs.

High-speed DAQ

High sample rate acquisition for transient, impact and ballistic events.

Rugged DAQ

Sealed, shock-resistant acquisition for vehicle, field and in-service testing.

Noise & vibration analysers

Real-time analysers for modal, acoustic and vibration investigation.

Specialised DAQ

Application-specific acquisition for dedicated test and measurement tasks.

Industrial & weighing electronics

Transmitters, amplifiers and controllers for permanent industrial installations.

Inertial navigation systems

GNSS-aided inertial systems for vehicle dynamics, guidance and position reference.

Laser Doppler vibrometers

Non-contact vibration measurement on light, hot or inaccessible surfaces.

Industrial interfaces

Fieldbus and network interfaces linking measurement hardware into control systems.

Wireless torque measurement

TorqueTrak 10K telemetry for torque on rotating shafts without slip rings.

Triaxial wireless accelerometers

Three-axis wireless vibration measurement for machines and structures.

CAN bus data loggers

Vehicle and machine CAN logging for duty cycle and in-service data.

Data loggers

Standalone logging for long-duration and unattended measurement campaigns.

Inspection & monitoring

Automated testing and condition monitoring

Magnetic rope testing (MRT)

Non-destructive inspection of steel wire ropes for broken wires, corrosion and loss of metallic area — for mine winders, cranes, cableways and lifts.

Torque monitoring

Continuous torque measurement on installed drivetrains to detect overload, slip and developing faults.

Vibration monitoring

Permanent and periodic vibration monitoring for rotating machinery, with alarm thresholds and trending.

Durability & reliability

Software for data-driven failure prediction

Durability & fatigue software

Turning measured load histories into fatigue life predictions, damage counts and accelerated test schedules.

Reliability software

Reliability modelling, life data analysis and failure prediction to support warranty and maintenance decisions.

How ACS supports it

Sensors are only as good as their calibration

Everything we supply can be commissioned, verified and re-calibrated by our own SANAS-accredited laboratory, with metrologically traceable certificates back to national measurement standards held by NMISA.

Load cell calibration to ISO 376 and OIML R 60

Force transducer verification across the working range

Calibration of indicators, amplifiers and displays

On-site verification of installed measurement chains

Commissioning, wiring and system integration support

Scheduled re-calibration to keep certificates current

Application advice on sensor selection and mounting

Local support instead of an overseas ticket queue
