Show Launch of NEW Human Vibration Meter from Castle Group Ltd.

The Excieo from Castle Group Ltd of Scarborough is an ALL NEW Human Vibration Meter designed specifically for conducting risk assessments to the new Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005. This all British product is a follow up to the hugely successful GA2001 HARM Vibration meter from Castle and is launched at this years Safety and Health at Work Expo 2006.

A novel approach to the user interface of the Excieo meter allows each measurement to be stored with an employee and/or a tool reference. This means the results can be interrogated to give daily exposure (A8) values or tool type data. This makes the meter very powerful for risk assessing whilst, at the same time, very simple to use.

Set to take the market by storm, this new instrument from Castle is loaded with features and uses the latest in DSP and processor technology to give it plenty of performance enabling it to comfortably meet the new ISO8041 Human Vibration Meter standard. The meter covers both Hand-Arm Risk Measurement (HARM) and Whole Body Vibration (WBV) with the use of the appropriate accelerometer pick-up.

Features of this new meter include a full set of frequency filters for multiple applications, instant templates for no-fuss measurements, parallel tri-axial measurement, time histories and a huge memory for vast storage of results. As a kit, the included software allows for reporting and data-management via USB and has a valuable feature allowing simple copy and paste into word processors or spreadsheets.

Other products on the Castle stand include the highly successful Pro-DX Vocis Sound Meter, dBAlert Personal Noise Warning Device – launched at last years show and a range of gas detection and air sampling equipment expected to be of considerable interest to many customers.
