The Polytec RSV-150 Remote Sensing Vibrometer is a point-and-shoot laser doppler vibrometer with a measurement range of up to 300m, a 1µm resolution and a 2MHz bandwidth. Polytec RSV-150 vibrometers detect vibration, resonance frequencies and displacement on distant buildings, machine parts and other structures and eliminate time consuming contact sensor installation. This makes the RSV-150 an ideal tool for the cost-effective monitoring of the structural health or dynamic behavior of bridges, buildings and industrial plants.
Features
- Measuring distance up to more than 300 m
- Coaxial camera for simple aiming
- Displacement resolution of less than 1 µm to record the smallest vibrations and movements
- Eye-safe; no need for cordoning-off measures or laser safety officers
- Simple set-up in minutes for fast measuring results, without the laborious process of installing sensors at the measuring location
- Bandwidth of up to 2 MHz (20 MHz upon request) – for applications in the field of non-destructive materials testing
- High speed up to a velocity of 24 m/s for drop and shock tests
