ProSpeed®: Optical length & speed sensors with enhanced connectivity
No contact, no slippage, no wear: ProSpeed® optical encoders measure reliably even on red-hot metals up to over 1.000°C, enabling reliable length verification, position tracking, speed synchronization and superior cut-to-length control. This new generation Laser Surface Velocimeters come with enhanced connectivity, multi-user access for up to 4 users, Ethernet/IP or Profinet protocols or classic analog or digital signals for PLC.
Laser vibrometry focusing on the small details
Characterize small and delicate structures in a non-contact way. Analyze vibration, acoustics and dynamics. Measure biomedical samples, electronics components and microstructures like MEMS by light, without mass-loading, and from DC up to the GHz range on a large bandwidth. Laser vibrometers focus on the small details, measuring deflection shapes for model validation. They assess the frequency response and determine resonance frequency, impulse response and Q factor. No matter how big or small – Polytec vibrometers measure it!

Velocimetry
When producing continuous material and piece goods, knowing the exact length and velocity is key if you are to optimize your costs and processes. Non-contact laser surface velocimeters make reliable process control possible, based on the laser-precise measurement of length and speed, even in harsh ambient conditions. Designed for their robustness, reliability and minimum maintenance requirements.
