The Saximeter is a hand-held unit which uses sound recognition to automatically detect hammer blows. It determines the hammer
operating rate in blows per minute. This is an important quality assurance parameter, since an excessive stroke can cause pile
damage. Since hammers are often rated by energy, it is important to observe the actual available stroke or potential energy
(stroke times ram weight).
Open end diesel hammers have a variable stroke; the stroke is often just as important to the driving log as is the number of blows
per foot since it can be used to detect a faulty fuel pump, excessive friction or change in resistance. Unfortunately, an accurate
stroke is usually not recorded.
The MEMORY- SAXIMETER provides accurate, automatic blow counts and blows per minute.
The MEMORY- SAXIMETER converts the blows per minute to stroke. and potential energy.
This data is invaluable when confirming actual hammer performance and for use in proper wave equation analysis.
The current saximeter versions are called E-Saximeter which stands for energy ...
The E-Saximeter "A" version is the further development of the Memory Saximeter. The saximeter works with sound recognition only.
Automatically recording and processing information in MEMORY, enables the user to create driving logs quickly, professionally, and free
from recopying errors. The data transfer can run directly into your office computer using an additional 9-pin cable.
The E-Saximeter "P"version is the same as Type A but has an additional option of computing hammer kinetic energy. This important
parameter is calculated from measured hammer impact velocity. Measurements are obtained by hammer mounted sensors that transmit data to
the E-Saximeter via radiotelegraphy. The distance for data transmitting is more than 300 ft. The battery packages for transmitter and
Saximeter work approx. 12 hours and can be recharged.
