Non-Contact Vibration Measurement

Polytec manufactures a range of laser vibrometers that have become the accepted standard for non-contact vibration measurement.

Whether standard single-point or differential measurements, determination of rotational or in-plane vibrations, visualization of microscopic vibrations or mapping of whole surfaces are of interest, there is a Polytec system that can provide the answer.

Single Point Vibrometers
Measuring “Out-of-Plane“ Single-Point Vibration
Single point vibrometers measure the vibrations of an object in the direction of the laser beam. If aligned at a right angle to the object surface, then the term “Out-of-Plane“ vibrometer is also used.

Differential Vibrometers
Measuring “Out-of-Plane“ Differential Vibration
Differential vibrometers allow vibration measurement between two points vibrating relative to each other. Specialized fiber optic probes allow the examination of locations that are difficult to access.

In Plane Vibrometers
Measuring In-Plane Vibration
Measurements of vibrations in the surface plane, i.e. at right angles to the optical axis.
