VDD PC-Based Digital Vibrometer

Digital Laser Doppler vibrometers offer answers when analog LDVs are pushed to their resolution limits.
 

  • For very difficult and stringent applications as measurements in data storage, micro-electro-mechanical structures (MEMS) or hearing dynamics

  • Combination of highest performance data acquisition, comprehensive VibSoft Software package and analog front-end

  • For calibration purposes only digital LDVs are applicable

OFV-5000 Vibrometer Controller

OFV-552 Fiber-Optic Interferometer

The OFV-552 differential sensor head gives the customer complete access to the probe beam as well as the reference beam.
   

  • Allows measurement of  relative motions between two points of a structure 

  • Widely used for valve kinetics studies, where one laser beam is focused onto the valve and the other onto the cylinder

OFV-551/552 Fiber-Optic Interferometer

Fiber optic LDV systems allow the user to point the measurement laser beam via a flexible cable terminated by a mini-lens. Fiber interferometers are most often used to measure small parts, when

  • physical access is difficult,

  • close stand-off-distances are required,

  • or where relative motions between two points need to be measured.
