Non-contact vibration measurements made easy

Measure all surfaces, including ultra-light weight, fragile and hot:

  • From near to hundreds of feet away
  • From MEMS devices to very large parts
  • Frequency range from DC to 8 GHz
  • Single to thousands of measurement points

Laser vibrometer products

Polytec’s laser vibrometers have become the globally recognized standard for non-contact vibration measurements. The extensive range of products offers you solutions to virtually any vibration-related issue in research, development, production and long-term monitoring.

Whether they are used for single-point or differential measurements, to determine rotational or in-plane vibrations, to visualize vibrations on MEMS and microscopic systems or for measuring and animating modal and operational deflection shapes: Polytec’s laser vibrometers provide a quick, non-contact and non-intrusive solution to your problem.

Single-point vibrometers

Single-point laser Doppler vibrometers measure transfer functions, amplitudes and resonance frequencies without contact in a non-intrusive way thanks to the simple “point and shoot” principle. Single-point vibrometers are laser vibration sensors that measure object vibrations in the direction of the laser beam (out-of-plane motions). From modular concepts to robust industrial vibrometers or compact designs – Polytec will always provide you with the ideal measuerement tool to solve your individual vibration measurement task.

Full-field vibrometers

Full-field vibrometer are vibration measurement systems that allow engineers to conduct areal deflection shape measurements as fundament for validating simulation models and identifying vibration hotspots. They keep the focus firmly on complex vibration behaviour over the entire surface. Polytec’s product range includes everything from scanning vibrometers for stationary processes to multipoint vibrometers (that measure in parallel) for non-stationary and transient processes.

Microscope-based vibrometers

Inspired by the rapid further development of microelectromechanical systems and MEMS, Polytec presents this highly innovative product line of microscope-based measurement systems. MSA Micr System Analyzers from Polytec validate dynamics and topography of microsystems reliably with utmost precision.

Special-application vibrometers

Special testing needs may require special measurement tools. Whether measuring ultrasonic applications in the very high frequency range, or rotational vibrations on rotating structures, or in-plane vibrations measured perpendicular to the measurement beam – there is a Polytec vibrometer ot provide the perfect solution.
