We have combined the charge amplifier and insulation tester into a single portable unit with a built-in battery, making it easy to carry on-site, and added new features to release the Portable Charge Amplifier + Insulation Tester 5811A00. <Features of the New Product> The charge amplifier (for displaying, evaluating, and saving measurement values) and insulation tester (for checking the insulation of sensors and cables) are now integrated into one portable unit with a built-in battery. Additionally, by adding graph and recording functions to the charge amplifier, the display of measurement waveforms and data recording can be completed within the device. We will also be hosting a webinar to introduce this product. For more details, please refer to the webinar announcement in the related links.

Kistler's new process monitoring system, ComoScout, is a lightweight solution focused on general signals from sensors other than injection molding machines or in-mold pressure sensors. It is a simple and cost-effective tool for machine-based process monitoring, usable not only with existing machines but also as a gateway to the digital world. It is also appealing to industries like packaging, which have traditionally not emphasized process monitoring based on in-mold pressure sensors. ComoScout monitors signals from injection molding machines and from sensors providing voltage outputs of up to 10V. This opens up new possibilities for manufacturers who have previously hesitated to invest in process monitoring. The process monitoring system stabilizes production processes and allows for early detection of scrap, leading to waste reduction. It enables the identification, sorting, and recycling of defective parts, avoiding secondary costs and waste. Despite its low cost, ComoScout has many of the traditional monitoring features and the same appearance as ComoNeo. It remains economically viable even when retrofitting older machines with the latest data gateways.

There is a trend in the automotive semiconductor industry, particularly in power semiconductors, to quantify the internal state of molds, which can be considered a black box, during the resin encapsulation process. This trend is driven by the emergence of issues related to moldability due to the miniaturization and thinning of semiconductor packages and the fine pitch. As a countermeasure, there is an increasing demand for improving productivity and quality through actual measurement of resin filling pressure and temperature within the mold cavity during package molding. In response to this need, Kistler proposes a "visualization solution for the inside of the mold" using high-performance quartz piezoelectric in-mold pressure sensors to measure resin filling pressure and temperature.

We are currently releasing a video that introduces an example of how precise quality control can be achieved by measuring the sliding resistance of a syringe using Kistler's process monitoring monitor maXYmos and a press force sensor, and visualizing that load.

The Curie brothers, Pierre and Jacques, discovered the piezoelectric effect in 1880 through experiments using tourmaline crystals, but its practical application did not come until 1950 when Walter P. Kistler, the founder of Kistler, invented the charge amplifier. We are currently releasing a video about the piezoelectric effect of this crystal and its applications.

Reliable Cutting Processing in the Micro Domain Winterthur, May 29, 2018 – After approximately two years of development, Kistler has announced the world's smallest mass-produced cutting dynamometer, MicroDyn. This system allows manufacturers and research institutions to measure cutting resistance with extreme precision, which is essential for the development of ultra-small tools. In the machining of miniature workpieces, strict requirements are placed on the tools used. For example, in watch manufacturing, compact and highly sensitive measuring equipment is necessary to measure cutting resistance in confined spaces. Kistler's new dynamometer, MicroDyn 9109AA, offers users new possibilities in the field of ultra-precision machining, particularly in the development of cutting tools for hard and brittle materials and the optimization of cutting conditions.
