Solartron Metrology provides measurement solutions to Canadian businesses via Hoskin Scientific Ltd., but individual products are just the start: the manufacturer has put together the Orbit Network, a fully formed digital measurement system that makes it simpler to inter-connect high-accuracy Solartron probes, gateways, and other sensor types to any computer, network, or PLC. Orbit is an extremely flexible network for gauging and linear high-speed measurement, contact or non-contact. It is compatible with Windows 10, 8.1, and 7 in 64 or 32 bit.

This Solartron digital measurement system takes traditional LVDT gauging to a higher level. Credited by real-world scenarios in which digital measurement is essential for quality, the network allows easy connection of probes with high-speed data gathering. Orbit is blended with Solartron Gauage Software for fast info collection and measurement display.

These digital displacement and gauging sensors combine the proven reliability of LVDT-style sensors with better performance. Solartron has enhanced LVDT through a process of continuous development, resulting in a gauge probe that is robust and accurate and offers top value. Orbit is compatible with other kinds of sensors: some Solartron solutions enable easy integration of third-party sensors to create a measurement system, including LVDT gauge probes combined with rotary encoders to allow profiling of crankshafts and similar parts.

The Orbit Network paves the way for all precision-measurement or positioning requirements in labs or on production lines. Its architecture consists of a rugged mechanical design mixed with a high level of electrical protection and superior noise immunity, which ensures valid, accurate data when needed. The system processes and transmits clean, repeatable info from sensors at speeds of up to 3,906 readings per second.

Hoskin is an official Solartron stocking distributor that offers many Orbit-compatible products, such as digital measuring probes, low-tip force probes, compact probes, rugged probes for demanding conditions, specialist transducers, non-contact sensors, modules, gateways, and probes with inline connectors.
