How the Aviation Industry Solves Vibration and Balancing Challenges
The aviation industry spends significant amounts of time and money on problems caused by engine vibration. Imbalance, the most common cause of engine vibration, happens because of bird strikes and other impacts, but also because of natural wear and corrosion that redistribute mass. In turn, out-of-balance parts can result in cabin noise, metal fatigue, and cracked turbine, fan, or compressor components. In the most extreme cases, catastrophic engine failure may result MTI Instruments, a worldwide supplier of precision measurement solutions, makes equipment for monitoring vibration levels and balancing rotors. For maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) crews who want to [...]

Industry 4.0 for Test and Measurement
Industry 4.0 promises greater integration, interoperability, and information exchange. This Fourth Wave of the Industrial Revolution isn’t about a single technology such as machine learning. It’s not just about artificial intelligence (AI) or Big Data either. Rather, Industry 4.0 is a family of connected technologies that will enable industry to collect, analyze, and act upon massive amounts of diverse and distributed data. Smart sensors for precise test and measurement are essential for these advanced systems. MTI Instruments, a global supplier of precision measurement solutions, is developing a new class of wireless and wired sensors to support digital connections for [...]

White Paper: Precision Power Analyzers
White Paper All the tools needed to study and optimize virtually any power project in a single instrument Introduction The design of any power conversion system requires the measurement of a large range of electrical parameters that could be made using a lab bench full of instruments. The precision power analyzer pulls all of these measurements into a single instrument replacing meters, oscilloscopes, chart recorders, harmonic analyzers and other devices. This paper will provide a basic overview of the functions and capabilities of high-performance power analyzers. Examples of these functions and how to apply [...]

Five Common Mistakes with Semiconductor Wafer Measurement
Semiconductor wafer measurement requires a high degree of precision. The right metrology equipment and inspection processes are important, but so is procedural consistency and attention to detail. If you’re not getting the results you want, it’s time to look beyond the measurements. With bare semiconductor wafers, users need to avoid these five common mistakes. Mistake #1 | Turning the Device Off Most users turn on metrology devices only when it’s time to use them. As soon as semiconductor wafer measurement is complete, the devices are turned off. This reduces electricity consumption but also introduces thermal instability that can cause [...]
Capacitance Probes: Five Things You Need to Know
Capacitance probes are non-contact measurement devices with a capacitance sensor inside a protective shell or housing. They use cables and connectors to integrate with amplifiers and are an important part of capacitance measurement systems. By using capacitance, engineers can measure physical parameters such as vibration, pressure, liquid levels, metal contamination, and seismic activity – just to name a few. There’s a lot to know about capacitance probes, but five key facts to understand. Capacitance probes are highly accurate and very stable. They’re better than older devices and competing technologies. They require little calibration and support miniaturization and embedding. They [...]

White Paper: High Accuracy, High Voltage Measurement – April, 2019
Introduction One of the first principals learned as an engineering student is the “observer effect” which states that simply observing a situation or phenomenon necessarily changes that phenomenon. This is often the result of instruments that, by necessity, alter the state of what they measure in some manner. Accurate high-voltage measurement is a clear example of the validity of this theory. The accuracy of the resulting measurements is affected by three important elements: environmental factors, errors that are introduced by the measurement probe, and the intrinsic accuracy and performance of the measuring instrument. This article will address each of [...]
