Vibration analysis, whatever the surface

With the capability to assess mechanical vibrations in the range 0-450kHz the SP-S series interferometric vibrometer from Armstrong Optical opens whole new vistas of measurement capabilities

The modularSP-S system, manufactured by SIOS Messtechnik of Ilmenau in Germany, has been designed to allow non-contact vibration measurements to be made on surfaces of arbitrary roughness and can also be easily adapted to perform extreme precision length measurements.

Coupled with the ability to have the small, electrically passive, measurement head (8x8x4cm) physically removed from the control electronics and PC (<10m) measurements in constrained and harsh environments can be undertaken with confidence.

SP-S systems have been successfully used in applications such as the calibration of piezo-ceramic stacks, vibration analysis of micro switches, fans, industrial drives, CNC machines, replacement of capacitive/inductive sensors on dilatometers, damping/stress-strain research on materials such as polymer fibres, carbon composites, metals, glass, cardboard etc.
