Remote detection of vibrations from distant structures
VibroFlex Range is the outdoor-proof long-range vibration measurement solution designed for remote analysis of vibrating structures, model validation and health monitoring on large and distant structures from more than 500 m. The laser sensor conveniently monitors structural dynamics and stability of buildings, operating machinery and critical production facilities, providing a fast and efficient on-site testing solution. The determined Eigen frequencies and deflections can be used for example for health monitoring or model validation of simulations.

Just point and measure
Simply mount the sensor head on the rigid tripod, use the geared head and fine adjustment to precisely position the laser beam on the exact feature of the object being examined by using the scope and the parallax-free high resolution camera image with reticle. Then start your measurement. With the VibSoft data acquisition software, you can immediately evaluate your test data anywhere – in the field or on-site.
Vibration measurement and condition monitoring
VibroFlex Range is the dedicated tool for high-resolution remote condition testing of displacement, velocity and acceleration avoiding tedious contact sensor installation and cabling.
Typical applications range from infrastructure over buildings to industrial and heavy machinery:
- Bridges, buildings and support structures
- In-service tubes and pipes for leaks
- Mining machinery even with dirty surfaces
- Furnace structures, piping or other hot objects
- Machinery and industrial installations in danger zones (explosive risk, high voltage, high temperature)
- Power poles, power lines, electrical equipment
- Historic buildings under monument protection
Patented QTec® powerful on all surfaces
Always stable signal, 20 dB better SNR for faster and clearer results without post-processing: QTec® laser vibrometers use multi-path interferometry and reception diversity for recombining the best readings from different perspectives for faster and more consistent results while avoiding the need for averaging. This safe laser technology is perfect for challenging applications such as NDT, biomedical, long distance displacement measurements, quasi-static displacement measurement and shaker feedback control. The patented and highly innovative technology QTec® makes vibration measurements faster, easier and more reliable than ever - for the most robust, unambiguous results.
