SMART 3D-Scanning: Precision in three-dimensional vibration measurement

Unlike conventional laser doppler vibrometers which only measure out-of-plane movements, the SMART 3D-Scanning captures highly accurate vibration data in all three directions of space without any retroactivity. In fact, the 3D-Scanning consists of three fully featured and precisely synchronized scanning vibrometers that work together as one. 

This offers a unique value proposition to engineers, researchers and developers alike, enabling complete vibration analysis and visualization of complex structures. But with more than 30 reference channels and 24 signal generator channels, the 3D-Scanning also is the world’s first SMART 3D-Scanning vibrometer bundling all features that you could need in one SMART system. 

With seamless connectivity using WiFi, Bluetooth, and USB, a versatile 7-inch touch display and an intuitive yet powerful all-in-one software solution the SMART 3D-Scanning is the ideal choice wherever accurate and complete data makes the difference.
