KOBOLDMessring GmbH, one of the leading international instrumentationengineering enterprises, was founded in 1980 by Dipl.-Ing. Klaus J.Kobold. His excellent engineering knowledge led to the enterprise soonestablishing itself in the market place due it patentable technology,high quality products and superior service. The "KOBOLD" brand namesoon became synonymous with quality and technological advance. In thefollowing years, independent KOBOLD companies were established in numerous countries worldwide. Theinternational group of companies is led by its president and soleproprietor Klaus J. Kobold. The company's purpose is to develop,manufacture and sell instruments for monitoring, measuring andregulating the physical quantities of flow through, pressure, level and temperature. Thedevices are used in virtually all sectors of industry. The variety ofmeasurement methods available, and the rapid adaptation to technicaladvances, are what ensure that the high application-specificrequirements set in the various branches of industry are met in full.The strong growth of the company is based on the ongoing widening ofthe range offered and is due to the acceptance of the company and its products in the world market place.
Research and Development Ourdevelopment team solves even the most difficult measurement problems.Our experienced engineers from the most varied specialist areas usuallyfind an appropriate solution quickly. We often develop products inco-operation with our customers and thus meet the market needsdirectly. Our technical and engineering groups undertake developments for field applications in KOBOLD laboratories and factory. The technical knowledge, together with modern design and development methods are available in our laboratories and factory. Constant contact with users and the requirements that our customers place on our products provide the basis for our success. KOBOLD engineers develop and test in our own Laboratories and test facilities what is necessary and reliable for practical use. Nothing is left to chance. Every detail is the logical consequence of achievement and use. KOBOLD Messring-Patents Ofthat we are justifiably proud. The years of experience and thespecialist competence of our technicians, engineers and staff cannot be better demonstrated than through our patents. Through the years we have gathered a respectable collection of patents. These achievements are further proof to our customers that KOBOLD is an innovative partner. For us every new job is a new challenge. Take us at our word and present your requirements to us. Production and Quality Control Plant Hofheim am Taunus - Germany Our production plants in Germany and the United States of America produce quality products you need. Optimised production pursuant to recognised quality principles provides products that are economical, highly reliable and have a long life. Plant Pittsburgh - USA Plant Stuttgart-Sindelfingen - Germany Manufacturing - our Strength The developments of our technical and engineering groups, as well as the fulfilment of our customers requirements and orders are undertaken in our own words. This leads to three major advantages. The close relationship between our engineering and manufacturing sections ensures the ability to react quickly to customer requirements and to rapidly incorporate product improvements. Secondly, in-house manufacturing is an economic factor which is of ultimate benefit to the customer, and finally, permits reliable control of a high level of Quality Assurance. Manufacturing Quality - Your Guarantee Our customers have the right to receive a reliable product. Our professional pride would have it no other way. In-house production allows us to set our own high standards for quality control. Control methods ranging from statistical sampling of instruments on the production line, to individual, 100 %, testing provide you, the customer, with the highest assurance of quality. Consultancy and Engineering Our highly qualified sales engineers advise you quickly and reliably. An extensive team of field staff will also advise you on site. Many products are available from our stores at short notice. KOBOLD also offers, within the total product programme, a number of other products to complement it’s own manufactured range. The supply of these products is an additional service to our customers, whereby on the one hand the range is as wide as possible and on the other, KOBOLD undertakes to provide engineering and consultancy services at no cost to it’s customers. Mass production yields the optimum economics to the benefit of the customer.
We are a manufacturer of industrial ultrasonic testing equipment most commonly used in the petrochemical, aerospace, automotive, and other generally related industries. The pages that follow will provide you with general information regarding our products. If you have any questions, need technical support, or have a request for custom items, please contact us at your leisure using the information provided on this site.
Our products are commonly used to determine the thickness of a variety of materials by making contact with only one side of the material being tested. They have the ability to detect very fine pits, flaws, and porosity in materials without having to destroy the material or parts being tested. This is done by converting the transit time of a sound wave, sent into and reflecting back from a defect or opposite surface in the test material, into a length measurement. This technique uses principles similar to that of sonar.
We also manufacture a line of ultrasonic bolting equipment that very accurately
measures the stress, elongation, and load in threaded fasteners. These products are typically used in critical bolting applications where extreme accuracy is needed. If you have any specific or specialized bolting applications in mind, be sure to contact us to discuss your requirements in detail.
Adding a Huntron® Scanner to your Tracker Model 30 system lets you access components using standard DIP clips and cables, custom cables to PCB connectors or interface to a bed-of-nails. You can compare one component with another in real-time (64 pins max.) or use your PC to automate testing and scan up to 128 pins. Huntron Scanners can be used with a Huntron Access Prober to provide Common line connections while the Prober is probing a PCB. This method gives you up to 128 selectable Commons to use. For example, you can connect the Scanner to a connector on a PCB mounted in the Prober using a common ribbon style cable. While the Prober is probing, any one of the lines on the connected ribbon cable can be selected as the Common reference. This would provide you true point-to-point testing capabilities. Note: The ProTrack Scanner will be replaced by the Scanner II and/or the Scanner 31S effective 1/1/2008. This applies to commercial sales only.
Scanner II and Scaner 31S users may want to consider these Optional Accessoriesto enhance their test capabilities.
Highlights:
The Scanner II and Scanner 31S accessories add scanning capability to the Tracker Model 30
All Scanners have a minimum 64 pin capability
The Scanner II can scan up to 128 pins when the A and B channels are combined
The Scanner 31S use standard IDC style connectors
The Scanner II uses the common SCSI-2 (68 pin) style connectors
Up to 8 Scanner IIs can be “daisy-chained” to increase the available number of test pins
Selecting Accessories for your Scanner II The Scanner II accessories for interfacing to your printed circuit board come "ala carte". This means that you select the accessories you want included with your Scanner. Choose from SMT or through-hole style DIP clip and cable kits (Scanner Adapter required with Scanner II) or a mutli-pin breakout cable. Details on these accessories are provided on this page.
Ideal for the measurement of flow, density and temperature of liquids and slurries, such as aggressive or contaminated, sanitary or particle-filled fluids.
Features:
Flow ranges from 60 to� 60K Kg/Hr (2.2 to 1650 lb/min)
