Company News
HBK has signed an agreement to acquire Sentech, a leading provider of precision position and speed sensing technologies, strengthening our capabilities in embedded sensing across aerospace, energy, defence, and industrial markets.
The next generation in sound and vibration data acquisition. 18/03/2026 HBK - Hottinger, Bruel & Kjaer Designed to meet the evolving needs of engineers and researchers, Hottinger Brüel & Kjær's (HBK) latest innovation in sound and vibration measurement - Fusion-LN - has expanded its product line with a 12-channel module, which is available now for delivery. Fusion-LN introduces a streamlined approach to data acquisition, supporting applications across aerospace and defence, telecom, audio, industrial, and automotive sectors. Its modular design and intuitive interface enable users to adapt quickly to changing test requirements without compromising accuracy or reliability. A key function is that owners of HBK's LAN-XI data acquisition tool can preserve current capabilities and past investments, as Fusion-LN has backwards compatibility with LAN-XI. Operators are now also able to place Fusion-LN modules - combined with LAN-XI modules - in the same frame, which provides a seamless upgrade and allows them to expand their system, instead of replacing it. As industries face increasing demands for precision and efficiency, Fusion-LN provides engineers with a platform to simplify complex measurement tasks, while ensuring scalability for their future challenges.
