Areas of technology

Vibrometry
Laser vibrometers developed and manufactured by Polytec define the globally recognized standard for optical vibration measurement. We provide our customers from a wide variety of industries a comprehensive range of solutions for almost any vibration-related challenge in research, development, production and condition monitoring. Laser Doppler vibrometers are precision measuring instruments for the examination of objects of almost any size and solve your task quickly, in a non-contact, non-destructive manner.

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
The TopMap surface measurement family can be used for characterization of rough, smooth or stepped surfaces using our innovative white light interferometry system for high precision and non-contact results. Already used in laboratories worldwide for research and development, quality assurance and within production environments and directly on manufacturing lines.

Optical Systems
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.
When surface metrology becomes surface quality
For measuring the finest details in surfaces by areally characterizing form parameters without contact, the TopMap optical profilers are the preferred solution. From microscope to macroscope quality control applications, Polytec offers turnkey surface metrology solutions for industry and research.
