Mining Measurement Solutions Built for Extreme Conditions
Mining is the extraction of valuable minerals or other geological materials from the earth, usually from an ore body, vein or (coal) seam. Materials recovered by mining include base metals, precious metals, iron, uranium, coal, diamonds, limestone, oil shale, rock salt and potash. Heavy machinery is a common application for sensor technology.

It adds best-in-class mode indicator functions (MIFs), curve-fitters and validation tools to ensure
Type 8420 (Replaces Type 8720) BK Connect Modal Analysis
BK Connect Modal Analysis performs classical modal analysis by extracting modal parameters from Frequency Response Functions (FRFs) acquired using impact hammer or single shaker excitation of the structure. The intuitive highly customizable graphical user-interface (GUI) is built around the analysis workflow and guides you step-by-step through the analysis with visual
Type 8412 (Replaces Type 8729-C) BK Connect Advanced Sine Measurements
BK Connect Advanced Sine Measurements is used for easy set-up, acquisition and validation of FRFs and related functions using stepped sine excitation. Stepped sine measurement is a technique, where sine excitation and corresponding measurements are made at fixed frequencies one at a time. Stepped sine measurements are often used as
Type 8411 (Replaces Type 8729-B) BK Connect Structural Measurements – Hammer And Shaker
This BK Connect application controls modal measurements using hammer or shaker excitation for easy set-up, acquisition and validation of data for subsequent modal analysis post-processing. This application emphasizes scalability and high productivity in the most time-consuming aspects of modal measurements: Setting up transducers, channel tables, excitation and analysis parameters Post-processing,
Type 8410 (Replaces Type 8719 And BZ-5613) BK Connect Geometry
Geometries are essential components in structural analysis. BK Connect Geometry supports traditional test geometry functionality, but also many advanced techniques from CAE. This software is designed to handle Finite Element (FE) models with several hundreds of thousands of nodes, and of course, it easily handles typical test size geometries of
