Laser vibrometers

Polytec's laser vibrometers measure samples of all sizes, from full car bodies and aerospace components to micron-scale MEMS and sensitive biomedical specimens. With fully non-contact operation, they excel in engineering, biology, and medical applications, as well as automotive, semiconductor, electronics and more. Explore your options today.

Single-point vibrometers

Single-point laser Doppler vibrometers measure transfer functions, amplitudes and resonance frequencies without contact in a non-intrusive way thanks to the simple “point and shoot” principle. Single-point vibrometers are laser vibration sensors that measure object vibrations in the direction of the laser beam (out-of-plane motions). From modular concepts to robust industrial vibrometers or compact designs—Polytec will always provide you with the ideal measuerement tool to solve your individual vibration measurement task.

Full-field vibrometers

Full-field vibrometer are vibration measurement systems that allow engineers to conduct areal deflection shape measurements as fundament for validating simulation models and identifying vibration hotspots. They keep the focus firmly on complex vibration behaviour over the entire surface. Polytec’s product range includes everything from scanning vibrometers for stationary processes to multipoint vibrometers (that measure in parallel) for non-stationary and transient processes.

Microscope-based vibrometers

Inspired by the rapid further development of microelectromechanical systems and MEMS, Polytec presents this highly innovative product line of microscope-based measurement systems. MSA Micro System Analyzers from Polytec validate dynamics and topography of microsystems reliably with utmost precision.
