Turn measurement data into confident decisions
From R&D to production, Polytec helps engineers and manufacturers gain reliable insights from non-contact measurement. Our optical technologies deliver precise, repeatable data—so you can validate designs faster, control quality more efficiently, and optimize processes with confidence.
Whether you’re analyzing vibration, surface topography, speed, or material properties, we combine advanced measurement systems with application expertise, flexible access models, and long-term support to solve real-world measurement challenges.




Our measurement technologies
Vibrometry
Polytec laser vibrometers give you fast, reliable answers to virtually any vibration challenge—from early-stage research to production testing and long-term condition monitoring. Trusted worldwide and being a globally recognized standard, they deliver the accuracy and clarity needed to make confident decisions, improve product quality, and accelerate development.
Because they measure vibration optically, Laser Doppler Vibrometers let you analyze objects of almost any size without contact, added mass, or risk of damage—providing precise results quickly and non-destructively.
Velocimetry
When producing continuous material and piece goods, knowing the exact length and velocity is key if you are to optimize your costs and processes. Non-contact laser surface velocimeters make reliable process control possible, based on the laser-precise measurement of length and speed, even in harsh ambient conditions. Designed for their robustness, reliability and minimum maintenance requirements.
Surface Metrology
TopMap is the line of optical surface metrology systems by Polytec, characterizing precision-manufactured surfaces in a non-contact, fast and areal way. TopMap white light interferometers provide repeatable and reproducible measurements of form parameters, roughness, microstructures and more. With a 4-year warranty and strong commitment to service & support, TopMap surface metrology drives the transformation of industrial manufacturing and quality control. Together we turn 3D topography data into your manufacturing and process knowledge.
Photonics
The field of optical systems comprises the greatest variety at Polytec, both in terms of technology and products: from optical, electro-optical and electrical measurement technology for laboratory, field and production applications to optical sources across all spectral ranges. In this huge photonics product range, we always keep track of what’s going on: our consulting engineers and service technicians will find the optimal measurement solution for your specific measurement task.
Process Analytics
Reducing costs while increasing quality, efficiency and output: Polytec provides spectroscopic measurement solutions for a wide range of routine analytical and/or industrial applications, from incoming material inspection through manufacturing processes and final product quality control. Fast, robust and precise near-infrared (NIR) spectrometer systems allow to determine the chemical composition and concentration of materials non-destructively and in real-time. This established technology is implemented in numerous industries for quality control applications.
