Reinventing 3D optical vibration mapping

Polytec 3D Scanning Vibrometers are state-of-the art for noise and vibration measurement in research and development. Using three independent scanning heads they deliver the full information on all vibrational directions. PSV QTec 3D determines operational deflection shapes and Eigenmodes for NVH, acoustics, structural dynamics, ultrasonics, and FEM validation. 

The high frequency version up to 25 MHz extends the application range to non-destructive evaluation (NDE) research. Every PSV QTec integrates perfectly into the CAE world providing interfaces to 3D geometries, modal analysis and automation. PSV QTec 3D Scanning Vibrometers are available as a compact laptop version or as a practical rack-type workstation.

Highlights

  • Non-contact, full-field vibration measurement with FEM-like spatial resolution
  • Best SNR on engineered surfaces
  • Up to 10x faster on engineered surfaces
  • Machine vision tools for easy setup
  • Professional CAE interfaces for model validation
  • Advanced geometry handling for meaningful result presentation

Modal analysis featuring MIMO excitation and 8 input channels

  • Open interface for your application
  • Available as compact laptop version and rack-type workstation

Faster results with QTec® multi-path interferometry

The patented QTec® multi-path interferometer technology boosts the signal quality of infrared laser vibrometer (SWIR) decisively. It provides highest optical sensitivity for high-fidelity measurements on all surfaces, which significantly reduces testing time – even on dark, biological, rotating or moving objects. This safe laser technology is perfect for challenging applications also on distant targets. QTec® makes vibration measurements faster, easier and more reliable than ever – for the most robust, unambiguous results.

Automatic 3D alignment

New machine-vision techniques make the non-contact PSV-3D Scanning Vibrometers as easy to use as any handy single-point laser vibration sensor while minimizing training needs. For high fidelity data especially from high frequency tests on medical tools as well as for measuring stress and strain, automatically aligning the 3 superimposed lasers is the key. Here, the machine-vision based feature “3D alignment scan” guarantees µm-precision in X, Y and Z enabling faster test setups and highly reliable measurement results.
