Introduction

While some industrial processes take place in seconds, some have dynamic movements where even microseconds are critical. The moment of impact of a press machine, the fracture test of a material, or a sudden pressure fluctuation... To capture these moments, you need an Analog Digital Module that is not only precise but also very fast. Discover the power of the Amazeng ZMA Data Acquisition family in applications requiring high speed.

Why is Speed Critical?

A slow data acquisition device can miss the peaks of the signal.

  • Example: If the force goes up and down to maximum for 1 millisecond during a crash test, a device that reads 10 times per second (10 Hz) will never see this moment. Result: Wrong analysis and unsafe product design.

ZMA Series: Harmony of Speed and Precision

The ZMA series is designed with a sampling rate of 1000 Hz (1000 samples per second). This speed offers "real-time" monitoring performance for 99% of industrial applications.

Application Areas:

  1. Dynamic Weighing: While weighing on moving belts, high speed is mandatory to filter vibrations and find the correct weight in seconds.
  2. Force and Tension Tests: In material testing laboratories, ZMA's 1kHz speed is ideal for capturing the maximum force at the moment of rupture.
  3. Machine Health Monitoring: It provides the opportunity to intervene before malfunctions occur by following instantaneous vibration changes in motor bearings.

Product Feature: Instant Analysis with ZMA-Desk

Visualizing this data is as important as collecting high-speed data. Along with our ZMA Data Acquisition devices, the ZMA-Desk software:

  • Reflects live graphics to the screen without millisecond delay.
  • Automatically marks the highest measured value with the "Peak Hold" feature.
  • Saves thousands of data per second to your computer with high stability over USB (Datalogging).

Conclusion

Speed is as important as data resolution. If you want to take control of processes that pass in the blink of an eye, you need more than standard modules.
