MSA-100-3D Micro System Analyzer
The 3D Micro System Analyzer records vibration components in all three spatial directions at once. The optical measurement system enables high-resolution 3D vibration analysis from DC up to 25 MHz with amplitude resolutions in the sub-picometer range, for both in-plane and out-of-plane vibration components.
RoboVib
By combining a 3D scanning vibrometer and an industrial robot, RoboVib® offers you an automated measuring station for measuring everything from complex components to complete vehicle bodies. Both the amount of time required and the sources of error – especially in experimental modal analysis – are reduced significantly. So you can thoroughly test a vehicle body, for example, in just one to two days, whereas you would previously have needed weeks to even prepare for the test itself.
