The RoboVib^® Structural Test Station is based on the PSV-400-3D Scanning Laser Vibrometer. To find out more about the specific capabilities of non-contact full-field vibration measurement please refer to the PSV-400-3D.

The RoboVib^® was created because of one reason:

To save time and money in the development process.

Using only contact transducers is time consuming because of

• Defining and marking measurement points
• Mounting hundreds of sensors and dummy masses
• Cabling
• Checking for cross-wiring
• Dismantling
• Sensor calibration
  
  

and repeating the same procedure after each modification of a prototype.

RoboVib^® is different and overcomes these time killers with its unique features:

• Uses exisiting geometry data from a coarsened FE model for measurement point definition - no double data handling
• No sensor mounting for visible parts - less then one hour for a complete car body measurement set-up
• RoboVib^® Software controls robots and scanning process - fully automated after setup
• High point density in a short time - perfect FE model update
• No supervision during scan - the night shift can be used for scanning
• RoboVib^® can be clustered by using additional robots or linear stages - gain flexibility
• Results given at nodal points of the FE mesh - direct interface to post-processing in modal analysis packages such as ME'scope or VMap.
