Reduce risks of vibration exposure

To help employers reduce or eliminate the risks associated with exposure to vibration, Casella CEL has launched the lightweight CEL-960 Human Vibration Meter, complete with associated dB98 software. The unit features remote operation mode for easier measurements and better quality data.

Of compact, robust design, it is purpose developed to measure hand-arm (HAV) and whole-body (WBV) vibrations, according to the requirements of European Directive 2002/44/EC.

Hand-arm vibration is associated with the use of hand-held power tools, while whole-body vibration is transmitted through a seat or feet of employees who drive mobile machines, or other work vehicles, over rough and uneven surfaces as a main part of their job.

Exposure measuring for HAV or WBV vibration is made simple with the CEL- 960, with just one button to operate the unit. It can also be easily operated remotely via Bluetooth by a laptop or tablet PC. This means the person conducting the measurement does not get in the way of the machine operator whose exposure is being monitored, allowing better quality data to be collected.

Comprising an acquisition unit, signal processing, data storage and data transfer, the CEL-960 measures tri-axial vibration levels and offers signal and 1/3 octave spectrum recording.
