ProSpeed®: Optical length & speed sensors with enhanced connectivity

No contact, no slippage, no wear: These optical encoders measure reliably even on red-hot metals up to over 1.000°C, enabling reliable length verification and position tracking, speed synchronization and superior cut-to-length control and much more in rolling mills, casters or the packaging, cable and converting industry. With their enhanced connectivity concept, ProSpeed® laser gauges control parameters and processes with ease, provide valid information and measurement data for process optimization. The multi-user access allows up to 4 users simultaneously, and the sensors feature Ethernet/IP or Profinet protocols upon request, or classic analog or digital signals for PLC.

Laser vibrometry focusing on the small details

Characterize small and delicate structures in a non-contact way. Analyze vibration, acoustics and dynamics. Measure biomedical samples, electronics components and microstructures like MEMS by light, without mass-loading, and from DC up to the GHz range on a large bandwidth. Laser vibrometers focus on the small details, measuring deflection shapes for model validation. They assess the frequency response and determine resonance frequency, impulse response and Q factor. No matter how big or small – Polytec vibrometers measure it!

Areas of technology

Icon Vibrometry

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. 

Icon Velocimetry

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.

Icon Surface Metrology

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. 

Icon Optische Systeme

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.
