DTS

Collecting pitch, roll and yaw data on test articles with tight size or weight restrictions just got easier, according to DTS. The ultra-small ARS3 PRO delivers precision angular velocity measurements, even in excessive shock and vibration environments and will be on show at Sensor + Test 2019

The SLICE IP68 data acquisition system from DTS is designed to capture physical signals in challenging environments. Targeted at applications with size or mass constraints, SLICE IP68's 60 x 60 mm footprint makes it easy to embed in most test articles. The rugged housing is impervious to shock, water and dust, making SLICE ideal for testing in inclement weather or in environments that may cause condensation on the instrumentation. 

The TSR Data Logger line now includes a new ±20 g sensor range. The built-in XYZ accelerometers eliminate the need for time-consuming sensor hook-up, an internal battery and simple software, expediting data collection.  The data logger can capture up to 2,000 transient shock events or run as a continuous data recorder for seconds to days.

Diversified Technical Systems (DTS) has been awarded a contract from the U.S. Army to develop the first instrumented test dummy designed specifically for military vehicle blast testing. The new test device will be used to assess potential skeletal injuries of soldiers exposed to underbody blast (UBB) events like those from improvised explosive devices (IED) commonly found in combat zones. This multi-phased project, called the Warrior Injury AssessmentManikin (WIAMan), includes defining injury-assessment criteria, blast research, and DTS’s key role, which includes developing a new state-of-the- art test dummy with internal miniature data recorders and sensors to capture the test results.

For anyone challenged with collecting data on rotating components like drive shafts, rotors, reciprocating rods or even track vehicle treads - there is now a solution from California-based DTS that eliminates the need for slip rings and telemetry.
