09:00 – 10:00 AM     Topic: Fastener Torque Tension Technology
Description:
The importance of clamp load in threaded fastener assembly torque tension technology 
Speaker: 
Dave Miller                                           Sponsor:  PCB Piezotronics, Inc.

About the Speaker: Dave Miller is employed by PCB Load & Torque as the RS Technology Product Manager.  Dave has over
                                      20 years experience in the field of 
fastener technology.  Base in Michigan, Dave travels the country
                                      conducting seminars on torque and fastener technology.

 

10:15 – 11:15 AM      Topic:  Sequencing for DC Power Supply Applications.
Description:   
More companies need to cut testing time and increase flexibility of testing. By using on-board controls,
                           sophisticated sequencing allows for repetitive testing.

Speaker:
 Dave Stuart                                          Sponsor: DytecEast

About the Speaker: Dave Stuart is the Regional Sales Manager for Ametek Programmable Power

 

 

11:30 AM – 12:30 PM      Topic:  Introduction to Piezoelectric Sensors
Description:
  Piezoelectric sensors are used in a variety of dynamic testing applications, including those found in aerospace,
                           automotive, industrial and 
laboratory environments.  The difference between dynamic and static measurements
                           is explained and examples of each are presented.  
Reasons for using piezoelectric sensors compared to other
                           types include the size, weight, measurement range, temperature range, and 
frequency ranges available.  Typical
                           piezoelectric element designs are reviewed.  Two common types of piezoelectric sensors are in use
today -
                           voltage mode and charge mode.  Voltage mode sensors utilize built-in or integral electronics (IEPE).  Advantages
                           and disadvantages 
and common setups of both IEPE and charge mode sensors are discussed.  Also considered
                           are various sensor mounting options and the 
resulting effect on frequency response, transducer selection criteria,
                           and recommended general care and handling of piezoelectric devices.

01:00PM – 02:00 PM  Topic:  Configuring DC Electronic Power Loads for High Power Test

Description:    Understanding how DC Electronic Loads work is fundamental to successful power source and component test
                            and maximizing the value received from your capital and time investments.  Learn how to maximize the load’s
                            value by gaining a fundamental understanding of electronic load operation, its strengths and weaknesses

·         Learn techniques in applying the electronic load in various power test applications
           o        Static Test
           o        Dynamic Test (pulse, Sine, Arbitrary)

·         Learn how the operating modes of interact with the device under test

·         Learn how to specify an electronic power load and what questions to ask when purchasing in order
to achieve highest value ($/Watt and best use of your time)

Speakers: Chas Gilmore and Cliff Nazelli            Sponsor:  EQS Systems
