Non-contact vibration measurement to go
Portable high-tech for outdoor use
Laser vibrometry has matured, making mobile applications possible. To satisfy the mobile applications market, Polytec developed the compact, battery-powered VibroGo, a vibrometer that weighs about 3 kg and transports easily. It has a robust design, making it suitable for tough outdoor use. This portable vibrometer has a lot to offer. The VibroGo can be conveniently set up and configured via the 5-inch color touchscreen with intuitive menu navigation. In addition to the autofocus function, the touchscreen can manually control the focus. Besides the touchscreen a complete wireless operation of VibroGo is also possible. With a bandwidth of up to 100 kHz, this range can cover most acoustic and dynamic measurement tasks. Also, the optical sensitivity is significantly better than with the previous model allowing more surfaces to tested as is. Object measurement speeds of up to 2 m/s are possible. Furthermore, vibrational velocities, as well as vibration displacements and accelerations, can now be measured at distances of up to 30 m. For further processing, the measurement data can be transferred to a laptop or computer through an analog connection or digitally via Ethernet or wireless LAN.
Diverse applications in industry and nature
There are many applications for portable vibrometers. The condition monitoring of industrial and factory floor equipment is one of them. Periodically specific industrial components can be safely and remotely monitored from a distance without contact, even in locations where fixed sensors cannot be mounted. There are many relevant examples, including pumps and pipelines, high-voltage components and hot surfaces or other hazardous environments.
The VibroGo is more than an industrial tool. Its portability and accuracy unlock interesting possibilities for scientists studying in many fields.
