Modular Fiber System: The ultimate flexible measurement solution, adaptable, precise, and ideal for a wide variaty of applications.

The SMART Multi-Fiber revolutionizes laser Doppler vibrometry by supporting up to four flexible fiber heads for use in harsh conditions and integrating advanced features like multi-channel data acquisition and comprehensive connectivity options. This versatile device is ideal for industrial quality control and research, offering precise, synchronized vibration measurements.

Optomet Dual Fiber technology for optimum signal quality and maximum flexibility

Leverage the power of Optomet Dual Fiber technology for optimum signal quality and maximum flexibility. This advanced technology ensures superior signal integrity and adaptability, enabling you to conduct precise measurements in a variety of settings.

Up to four simultaneous measurements

By integrating up to four interferometers in a single device, the SMART Multi-Fiber sets new standards in vibration measurement. This allows for simultaneous and synchronized execution of up to four measurements. With the ability to connect up to four fiber heads to one device, measurement data can be collected in real-time from multiple perspectives. This feature enables comprehensive and precise analysis of vibrational dynamics, providing a detailed understanding of complex motion patterns.

Precise synchronization and unlimited scalability for complex measurement tasks

The SMART Multi-Fiber Vibrometer offers virtually unlimited scalability by connecting additional devices from the same series via a single Ethernet cable. All devices are interconnected and linked to a computer for direct data recording and analysis. This innovative architecture enables simultaneous measurement at an unlimited number of points, perfectly synchronized with sub-nanosecond accuracy. With its unmatched scalability and precision, the SMART Multi-Fiber is the ideal solution for demanding measurement tasks requiring comprehensive and detailed analyses.

SMART Multi-Fiber: Elevating precision in vibration analysis

With the Optomet Dual Fiber system for optimal signal quality, the SMART Multi-Fiber brings laser Doppler vibrometry to a new level: Position up to four fiber heads separate from the Multi-Fiber body wherever they are most useful. They withstand harsh environmental conditions, be it ionizing radiation or extreme temperature changes.


As part of the SMART series, the Multi-Fiber is so much more than a non-contact vibration measurement system. It is a universal lab in a device, streamlining the measurement process in research and development with its unique combination of features: An arbitrary signal generator, a versatile data acquisition unit, part of a precisely synchronized vibration measurement array, and all that paired with unprecedented connectivity including WiFi, Bluetooth, USB, and Ethernet.


With its ability to measure up to four vibration channels simultaneously, the SMART Multi-Fiber is the ideal choice for industrial quality control and a variety of other applications where flexibility is key.
