How Does That Sound? Electric and Hybrid Vehicles - New Challenges for Metrology and Acoustic Optimization The brave new world of electric vehicles promises ‘silent’ driving. However the acoustics engineer is well aware that because there is no internal combustion engine to mask out noise, other sources of noise will reveal themselves.
NEW: 3-D Vibration Measurement of Even the Smallest Structures Polytec introduces a new product, expanding its range of solutions for vibrational analysis of the smallest components and microsystems. The MSA-050-3D Micro System Analyzer, like Polytec’s other laser Doppler vibrometers, measures vibration velocities and displacements with high precision and in real time.
Remote Optical Vibration Measurements from Large Distances Polytec has expanded its product range of non-contact measurement laser vibrometers with a new generation of sensors designed for operation over large distances. The RSV-150 Remote Sensing Vibrometer will measure vibrations and displacements on nearly any surface, from up to more than 300 meters away using an eye-safe (subject to blink reflex) Class 2 laser.

Polytec Laser Sensor for Optimum Casting Control One of the world’s leading steel companies has evaluated various alternative solutions for length measurements at a continuous caster line in cooperation with a Dutch university.
Standard-Compliant Optical Surface Metrology from Polytec For the user, however, what is of interest is the measurement uncertainty and repeatability for surface parameters or form parameters such as flatness or step height that can actually be achieved in practice.
Measure Flatnesses, Parallelisms and Step Heights Reliably in Quality Control Polytec has developed tailor-made solutions with its TMS TopMap white light interferometers: step heights, parallelisms or flatnesses of even relatively deep-lying surfaces can be determined rapidly, simply and at reasonable cost.
The Photon Makes the Difference! Specialist partners such as Polytec offer users, even for persistently challenging and unconventional problems, an optimal measurement solution based on compact and industry-standard interferometric, spectrometric and imaging sensors.
