SMART Full body

The full potential of Vibrometry

Unlock the full potential of laser Doppler vibrometry: Visualize the vibration dynamics of entire objects from any side combined with insightful reference data. 

Flexible measurement setups

Flexible measurement setups with the SMART Full Body system allow you to adapt the configuration to meet your specific needs. You can position multiple SMART Scan+ vibrometers around the test object to capture full-body measurements from different angles. Alternatively, you can achieve comprehensive results with just a single SMART Scan+ vibrometer, thanks to SMART Lab's intelligent stitching features. This advanced capability seamlessly integrates data from multiple measurements, providing a complete, high-precision vibration profile of the entire object, even with minimal equipment.

Simultaneous synchronized measurements

Simultaneous synchronized measurements with multiple SMART devices allow faster and more efficient full-body vibration tests. When several SMART Scan+ vibrometers work together, they function as a single system, capturing high-resolution data across the entire test object. The SMART Lab software intelligently assigns each device to its role, handling even projects with hundreds of thousands of measurement points. This results in fast, precise measurements, providing a detailed vibration profile in less time than traditional methods.

 

Innovative vibration analysis for aircraft optimization in wind tunnels

The SMART series offers an innovative solution for precise vibration analysis of aircraft in wind tunnels. Laser Doppler Vibrometers can detect even the smallest vibrations on the aircraft's body—completely contact-free and without influencing the aerodynamic conditions. This technology enables the measurement of vibrations on wings, tail sections, and turbine components, which is critical for optimizing the performance, comfort, and safety of aircraft. A key feature is its ability to simultaneously capture vibrations from multiple angles. The system’s extremely high precision is maintained even under complex airflow conditions, helping to reduce noise emissions and improve structural integrity. With its intuitive software, researchers can analyze and evaluate vibration data in real-time, enabling more efficient and accurate wind tunnel testing.

A unique combination of precision and contactless measurement: 
The SMART series redefines vibration analysis

No other system combines contactless measurement, multi-dimensional capability, and precision in the way the SMART series does. Traditional measurement systems often involve physical contact, which can interfere with the test object or distort the data. In contrast, the SMART series uses fully non-invasive Laser Doppler Vibrometer technology, allowing for precise measurements without altering the aerodynamic conditions or the structural integrity of the object being tested.
