Polytec launches a new measurement services programme that makes advanced non-contact vibration and topography measurements available for every budget

The innovative programme provides measurement results using Polytec's latest, non-contact measurement technology and, if needed, the expert advice and skill of a Polytec applications engineer By eliminating the need for a capital purchase and/or the addition of dedicated manpower, the new Measurement Services Programme gets precision results in the hands of engineers who have short-notice critical needs, require occasional measurements where a purchase is not justified, wish to evaluate Polytec products prior to purchase or prefer to contract a service

Via the program, test structures are characterised with state-of-the-art equipment such as 1D and 3D scanning laser vibrometers, single-point vibrometers, microstructure (Mems) motion analysers and topography measurement systems, operated by knowledgeable and experienced application engineers.

The measurement technology is fundamentally nondestructive, works on most surface finishes, eliminates mass-loading, improves data accuracy and minimises contact transducer mounting, wiring, and signal conditioning.

Vibrometer systems characterize virtually anything that vibrates up to 30m/s or 30MHz, down to picometer resolution.

Tests may be run at the customer's facility or in one of three Polytec labs in North America: Detroit, Los Angeles and Boston.

Complete measurement results are provided to the customer and may include frequency response functions, operational deflection shapes, time and frequency domain response, 3D motion vectors, in-plane and out-of-plane Mems dynamics, structure geometry and surface topography.

Data can be exported in several formats for further processing such as FE correlation and modal analysis.
