Vibration measurement is more sensitive

Single-beam laser Doppler vibrometer offers improved noncontact vibration measurement.

MetroLaser has unveiled the VibroMet 500V, a single-beam laser Doppler vibrometer, offering improved noncontact vibration measurement.

The VibroMet 500V provides more sensitive vibration measurement over a wider dynamic measurement range compared with its predecessor, the VibroMet 500.

In addition to these improvements, the new system has a visible red laser beam for easier point and measure operation.

Common measurement applications include turbine blades for aircraft and power generators, automobile engines, body parts and mufflers, computer disk drives and storage devices, musical instruments and loud speakers and precision optical and laser systems.

"The VibroMet 500V has been designed to make it easy for any user to obtain noncontact vibration measurements quickly", said Dr Cecil Hess, President of MetroLaser.

"This vibrometer has successfully been used in harsh outdoor field applications as well as quiet research laboratories to measure a wide variety of vibrating surfaces".

The VibroMet 500V is ideal for quality assurance, product optimisation and other applications that require measuring vibration without touching the object being measured.

Noncontact measurement avoids modifying the surface being measured resulting in more accurate results.

It also allows many different points on the object to be quickly evaluated and is necessary when measuring objects that are very hot or out of reach.

Industries served include automotive, aerospace, computers, acoustics and many others.
