RLV-5500 Rotational Vibrometer - Feat.

The RLV-5500 Rotational Laser Vibrometer benefits from digital decoding techniques, an improved S/N ratio and an expanded rpm range of up to 20,000 rpm. The sensor head design is new, more compact, and small enough to get closer to the measurement object. An integrated air purge system protects the optics from production oil spray and dust. Even onboard measurement of an operating drivetrain in a moving vehicle is now possible.

The RLV-5500 System

The new RLV-5500 Rotational Laser Vibrometer uses a fiber-optic cable to provide laser power to the small RLV-500 Sensor Head, thus increasing mounting and positioning options without sacrificing precision. The RLV-5500 Controller comes with a 19’’ industrial housing and incorporates the signal processing electronics and power supply.

The Sensor Head is available for standoff distances of 70 mm, 200 mm, 400 mm ad 600 mm. An additional deflection unit enables measurements under a 90° angle. The RLV-500 Sensor Head can cope with harsh conditions due to the integrated air wipe and its IP 67-protected housing.
