SM Instruments

SM INSTRUMENTS is the manufacturer of the BATCAM 2.0 and SeeSV-S206W sound camera , both of which are real-time, wireless acoustic imaging camera s targeted to unique applications.   The main business area of SM Instruments is developing sensors, measurements, and control instruments as well as providing engineering services, design services, and consulting services on sound and vibration applications. The provision of condition monitoring to wind turbine plants is also a core technology of SM Instruments. Furthermore, SM Instruments offers a unique customizing service including test consulting, which provides perfect and customized sound and vibration test solutions.  SM Instruments Sound Camera: The SeeSV-S206W sound camera was created to investigate and pinpoint the sources of persistent and transient noises on stationary or moving targets.  Buzz, Squeak, and Rattle (BSR) noise source investigation is a critical application for the automotive industry, and it is critical to t

SM INSTRUMENTS offers a specialized Ultrasonic Camera BACTAM for partial discharge detection.   Since its inception in 2006, SM Instruments has been a Gold Alliance Partner of National Instruments of the United States. Their main technologies are sound visualization with a sound camera and Buzz, Squeak, and Rattle detection with BSR Tools.   What exactly is a partial discharge?   Partial discharge (PD) is a localized dielectric breakdown of a small portion of a solid or fluid electrical insulation system under high voltage stress, which does not completely bridge the space between the two conductors.   The causes of Partial discharge (PD) are due to voids, impurities, or cracks due to defects in the manufacturing process, mechanical stress, or defects in the insulating aging process.   Partial discharge (PD) usually begins within voids, cracks, or inclusions within a solid dielectric. And, it occurs even at conductor-dielectric interfaces within solid or liquid dielectrics,
