MSR165 Data Logger to measure g-forces for Talos, packaging service provider<\/h2>\n

Written by Liam Formaniuk, Marketing Manager at Talos<\/p>\n

With its TX1001 Transport Simulator, British company Talos enables its customers to find out how they can optimise transportation and packaging of its products and alleviate the negative impact of knocks and shocks. Talos uses the MSR165 shock and vibration data logger of MSR Electronics GmbH to measure the g-forces.<\/p>\n

Talos Packaging Systems<\/a>, with its head office in Leeds, UK, are a pioneering packaging service provider. The company works closely with international manufacturers of packaging machinery as well as leading polythene producers, enabling them to provide clients with comprehensive packaging solutions. Talos source, assemble and install shrink\/stretch hood machinery, several types of conveyer systems and much more. They also offer logistical services, with an emphasis on improving packaging methods.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a> Their revolutionary TX1001 Transport Simulator<\/a> lets companies simulate road conditions in-house, allowing them to explore how and why their product transportation can be improved. The MSR165 data logger<\/a> of MSR Electronics GmbH, which is used to programme this machine, is an essential component of this simulation service. The data logger is capable of making 1600 acceleration measurements per second in all three axes. Shock monitoring is possible up to \u00b115 g or up to \u00b1200 g, 32 measurement values are recorded even before the event takes place. The installed memory is capable of storing over 2 million measured values which is sufficient for more than 10\u2009000 shocks. A microSD card (\u22654GB) can be used to increase the capacity of the data logger to over 1 billion measurement values. The collection and analysis of recorded measured data is effected by help of the MSR PC software<\/a>. All measurement parameters can be rapidly transferred from the logger to a PC via USB connection.<\/p>\n

Mirror real-life road conditions<\/h3>\n

The MSR165 data logger has allowed Talos to measure the g-force felt during road travel and then replicate this force in order imitate how the pallet is impacted by these movements.\u00a0The force measurements attained across the x, y and z axes provide Talos with invaluable data which is fed into the Transport Simulator, without these readings, it would not be possible to mirror real-life road conditions. Liam Formaniuk, Marketing Manager at Talos stated the following; \u201cThe product is unique and extremely useful, we could not provide this service without it. Once the relevant data has been collected, the interface during subsequent analysis is extremely user-friendly and allows us to make full use of our findings.\u201d<\/p>\n
