Condition monitoring and remote detection of vibrations from large and distant structures
Polytec’s RSV-150 Remote Sensing Vibrometer is designed to remotely and precisely measure vibrations from large and distant structures using a laser probe. The sensor conveniently monitors the dynamics and stability of free standing buildings, operating machinery and critical production facilities, quickly and effortlessly.
The underlying laser-Doppler interferometer technology eliminates tedious contact sensor installation while maintaining safe monitoring distances from hazardous and inaccessible structures. Its simple point-and-shoot operating principle results in a practical and always ready-to-use diagnostic tool for the field and for the lab.
Highlights
- Non-contact vibration sensing from large working distances up to > 300 m
- Works on nearly all surfaces – even on corroded and dirty ones
- Remote access to distant hazardous areas
- True zero Hz performance – precisely determine natural frequencies for health monitoring and model validation
- Small laser spot size for highest spatial resolution
- Easy set-up in minutes – no sample cabling or surface preparation
- Patented integrated optical channel for precise targeting
- High speed up to a velocity of 24 m/s for drop and shock tests
