Rapid, low-cost experimental modal analysis

On-line quality control

MEMS analysis for advanced sensors

Quality and Innovation

Our market-leading position is built on innovative technology, high-quality products, engineering excellence, qualified and customer-oriented service, expert technical advice and thousands of satisfied customers worldwide. By continuously developing new trendsetting metrology, Polytec is your best choice for today and tomorrow.

The high degree of innovation of Polytec Laser Measurement Systems is proofed by national and international awards like the Photonics Circle of Excellence 2001 award for the MSV-300 Micro-Scanning Vibrometer and the AMA 2005 Sensor Innovation Award for the MSA-400 Micro System Analyzer.

 
From Single Point Monitoring
to Complete Modal Analysis
Polytec develops hardware and software for complete non-contact vibration monitoring. From single-point to completely scanned areas and from out-of-plane to in-plane to complete 3-D motion vectors, Polytec has a measurement system that can handle your application.  
Uncompromising Accuracy
and Large Bandwidth

Our vibrometers use heterodyne detection to precisely measure the Doppler shift of back-scattered laser light. From the Doppler shift the velocity and displacement information can be determined by a Polytec decoder. A variety of decoder options enables Polytec to offer a perfect solution for your measurement requirements.

 
User Friendly Polytec technology builds on the premise that non-contact vibration and velocity measurement is fundamentally non- destructive, easily aligned and minimizes the need for time-consuming accelero- meter mounting, wiring, and signal conditioning. Hardware is designed with the user in mind, providing instruments that are simple to operate and sensors that are easily integrated into systems. Intuitive software permits the user to quickly and confidently begin taking real data.
