The SIM-1 SensorSimulator, from GHM Messtechnik, offers engineers working across all sectors of industry a quality handheld device with superior functionality supported by the latest available measurement technology.
“GHM Messtechnik is renowned for its quality measurement offerings,” said Jan Grobler, managing director of GHM Messtechnik SA.
The SIM-1 SensorSimulator is manufactured by Imtron, part of the GHM Messtechnik stable of companies, and a recognised supplier of measurement components and systems for industrial applications in development, manufacturing and testing.
“The instrument measures and simulates loop calibrations on PLC systems with great accuracy,” added Grobler. “Research and development has enhanced the device’s measurement capability, which is compact and easy to operate, protected in a robust silicone case, and offers simulations of various sensors such as strain gauge, Pt100 and TC.”
The SensorSimulator issues various current and voltage signals. With additional return measurement of feed voltage /currents, it can also provide optimal, true-to-the-original simulation of sensors like Pt100 and strain gauge sensors.
The device can be used to compare and check displays and measuring transducers and it has a transmitter and measuring function for voltages and currents, a graphic LCD, compact dimensions and is battery-powered.
“We believe that the introduction of the SIM-1 SensorSimulator to the South African market raises the benchmark in high accuracy measurement testing devices,” concluded Grobler.
Understanding the role of AI in generative engineering design
System Integration & Control Systems Design
When a design engineer sets out to design a new part, component, or assembly, the intent is to meet the design requirements for fit, form and function, and also incorporate a certain degree of innovation and elegance to the overall design. There is no reason to re-invent the wheel by introducing a new design.

System Integration & Control Systems Design
Significantly increased vibration on machines can result in many forms of negative impacts such as reduced system performance or damage to the machine and foundation. Using the example of retrofitting a forging press with a maximum press force of 2000 tons, Wölfel Engineering explains how efficiently the process was tailored and implemented with PC-based control and measurement technology from Beckhoff.

Editor's Choice System Integration & Control Systems Design
Automation is an essential part of manufacturing today. Whatever the size, an upgrade or migration project can be complex, and the risks can be high. This is where system integrators (SIs) can help. They can bring together complex subsystems or components of a larger system and make them operate as a whole.
