Laser Scanning Vibrometry and High Speed Imaging

Vibrometry
Vibrometer

The Cluster labs have a Polytec PSV 300 laser scanning vibrometer system. This system can scan a vibrating surface using a laser and use the reflected spot to analyse structural vibrations. Entire surfaces can be rapidly scanned and automatically probed with flexible and interactively created measurement grids, zero mass loading and without time consuming transducer mounting, wiring and signal conditioning. The PSV-400 offers technical excellence, ease of use and features, designed for resolving noise and vibration issues in the automotive, aerospace, data storage, micro systems, commercial manufacturing and R&D markets. The Cluster has also used the system for innovative measurements of ultrasound analysis of osteoporosis in bones and analysis of musical instruments.
