The new multi-purpose charge amplifier ICAM-B from Kistler is a versatile device thanks to its unique combination of proven analog signal routing and integrated digital data transmission. These advantages make it ideal for use with piezoelectric sensors in almost any application. Users benefit from intuitive web interface control, a wide range of signal conditioning features, and various IIoT connectivity options.

Sensor-based production control and monitoring play a crucial role in modern manufacturing environments. Integrated piezoelectric (PE) sensors deliver multiple benefits for industrial manufacturers in many sectors. They maintain and ensure the quality of the end products, they reduce downtimes and boost efficiency by reducing waste; they also support process optimization and data-driven decision making. Manufacturers who want to take advantage of PE sensors in industrial environments require robust measuring chains with suitable charge amplifiers that convert the sensor’s charge signal into a low-impedance voltage signal for further processing.
