Chrom Tech offers the Kipp & Zonen single and dual channel flatbed recorders. The BD 111 single channel and BD 112 dual channel flatbed recorders are ideal instruments for use in research, development and production as well as in service and education.

With the ‘home’ function the recorder pen can be set back to the start of the plot. This is especially relevant in case of comparative measurements. The ‘grid’ function moves the pen exactly to a grid line on the paper. In case of repetitive measurements the pen can be put into the right starting position easily.

The physical distance between the pens of a dual channel recorder causes a shift in the time axis of the plot. This makes it hard to make a comparison between the recorded signals. With the Pen Offset Compensation unit the distance between the pens is electronically compensated. This results in synchronous recording of both channels.

The recorders can be fitted with an extra potentiometer on the servo system. The output signal of this potentiometer can be used to monitor the pen position. Besides analog outputs, a recording channel can be fitted with a serial port if a Pen Offset Compensation module is installed. The sampling rate is directly proportional to the paper speed.

A high impact plastic case provides strength and permits a modern, attractive design. Much attention was given to the ergonomics. The shape of the recorder makes it easy to write comments on the chart, even next to the pen. The controls are very simple to use.

Kipp and Zonen has a history of more than 150 years and their experience in building recorders is unsurpassed. This is reflected in the high quality and reliability of our instruments.
