Vibrometer provides non-contact operation.
Press Release Summary:
VibroMet(TM) MB-LDV Scanning Multi-Beam Laser Doppler Vibrometer is capable of simultaneously measuring vibrations at multiple locations on target. Since all points are measured at same time, transient events can be accurately measured. Relative phase between measurement locations can be used to generate modal vibration patterns in single shot, which is necessary when measuring temporally non-stationary responses during interrogation such as shock testing.

Introducing The VibroMet(TM) MB-LDV, The Only Scanning Multi-Beam Laser Doppler Vibrometer
IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 14, 2006 -- On display this week at Aerospace Testing Expo North America 2006 will be the new VibroMet(TM) MB-LDV, an easy to use non-contact instrument capable of simultaneously measuring vibrations at multiple locations on a target with extremely high sensitivity. Since all points are measured at the same time, transient events can be accurately measured. In addition, the relative phase between measurement locations can be used to generate modal vibration patterns in a single shot. This capability is superior to single beam scanning methods and is necessary when measuring temporally non-stationary responses during interrogation such as shock testing. Another significant advantage, when compared to single beam scanning methods, is the faster inspection time of large target surfaces.
VibroMet MB-LDV Features and Benefits Include:
-- Simultaneous Measurements at all Points
-- Fast Data Acquisition of Large Areas
-- Single Shot Phase Measurement
-- Customizable Beam and Optics Configuration
-- High Measurement Sensitivity
"Each MB-LDV system is made-to-order so that MetroLaser delivers the product that best meets the customer's requirements," said Cecil Hess, President of MetroLaser.
Customizable features include the laser power and wavelength, the number, arrangement and spacing of laser beams, the scanning requirements, the stand-off distances,
and the electrical requirements. The VibroMet MB-LDV system comes complete with MetroLaser's custom electronics, a computer, and software for system control and data
acquisition, analysis and presentation.
The VibroMet MB-LDV has been used successfully in quality assurance applications including measuring aircraft stabilizer wings and automotive vibrations. It has also been used in military applications such as finding buried landmines. To learn more about MetroLaser's laser Doppler vibrometers, please visit www.MetroLaserLDV.com.
