(Kistler: Novi, MI) -- Kistler, a worldwide supplier of precision sensors, systems, and instrumentation for the dynamic measurement of pressure, force, torque, and acceleration, has introduced the Type 5630M series of high-performance process data collectors, designed to offer manufacturers and OEM machine builders  enhanced manufacturing-data storage, process visualization, and long-term analysis capabilities.
