From sensor to software: Kistler offers complete systems for selected applications.
1. maXYmos - XY process monitoring system
The XY monitors of the maXYmos BL, maXYmos TL and maXYmos NC families for process monitoring allow to check and evaluate the quality of a product or production step on the basis of a curve. The user can apply evaluation objects in order to adapt the curve evaluation to the individual monitoring task. Based on this specification, the maXYmos BL, TL and NC can check each workpiece and decide whether the part is good or bad. The maXYmos TL ML process monitoring system is designed to meet the needs of medical device manufacturers in particular.

All modules are available in the KiDAQ housing options Rack, Portable and DIN Rail which allows the use in different applications and environments.
6.2. KiStudio – software for data acquisition and analysis
With its user-friendly interface, KiStudio revolutionizes the preparation and execution of measurement tasks. With the “Lab” and “Vehicle Testing” editions and the various supported device families such as KiDAQ and LabAmp, the user can optimally focus on the measurement object.
The software enables the recording of hundreds of channels per system, guaranteeing maximum precision and reliability. Trigger functions allow automated snapshots or long-term recordings of all connected sensor signals or CAN channels. The intuitive dashboard enables live data visualization, quick checks and playback of all signals. Thanks to the integrated project management, all measurement data - even from previous projects - remains clearly organized and accessible at all times.
A direct connection to the jBEAM software provides instant access to extensive analysis and reporting functions and ensures a seamless workflow from data acquisition to analysis. jBEAM is available separately or together in an attractive package with KiStudio.
6.3. KiDAQ accessories
All the listed accessories are especially designed for or at least thoroughly tested with KiDAQ. We guarantee therefore a 100 % compatibility.
6.4. KiDAQ controllers
