Velocimeters handle higher speeds
The latest generation of Polytec LSV-series velocimeters now offers surface speed measurement at speeds up to 7200m/min.
The latest generation of Polytec LSV-series velocimeters now offers surface speed measurement at speeds up to 7200m/min This is achieved with all the inherent advantages of a noncontact laser system, yet without sacrificing resolution and accuracy

Infrared Imaging : The best gets better
Viewing infrared wavelengths between 0.4-1.5microns, the converted image produced by the new 7215 is now brighter and offers edge to edge sharpness.
The nature of a noncontact measurement system means that the part is measured without errors or damage caused by roller slippage or wheeled encoders.
Thus making LSVs ideal for hot and cold metal rolling processes (including red hot billets, girder sections etc) and other fragile materials such as paper, plastics, film, even tubular sections.
Because of its hybrid design developed from Polytec's long experience in laser vibrometry, measurements can be made at speeds down to zero and in both forward and reverse directions.
Real time 'live' monitoring directly from a part enables the LSV to be used as part of a closed loop automated system, bringing potential time and cost savings of process control with the bonus of high measurement accuracy.
Designed specifically for production environments LSVs require the very minimum of preventative maintenance, and in many cases no adjustments are needed when changing measured product.
There are also options for industrial-grade protective housings, and different standoff distances. Request a free brochure from Lambda Photometrics ...
