Areas of technology
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.
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.
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.
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.
Acoustics
From NVH work to looking for frogs in the rainforest, acoustic imaging is the perfect tool for sound source localization. It is a quick and easy to use solution for not only localizing sound sources but also post measurement analysis.
With many different microphone array geometries and software modules to fit your application, it becomes the ideal tool for your measurement needs.
