Traditional contact-based testing is increasingly becoming the bottleneck in high-speed manufacturing—limiting throughput, adding complexity, and compromising data quality.

That is why Polytec and Signalysis are coming together for a focused webinar on how to move beyond contact and scale End-of-Line (EOL) testing with vibrometry and intelligent automation.

📅 May 20
🕚 11:00 AM PST
👉 Register here https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/1694882236071223135?source=Organic+social

In today’s production environments, EOL testing must be as agile as the line itself. This session explores why Laser Doppler Vibrometry (LDV) is no longer a premium option—but a critical enabler for modern quality assurance.

What you will learn:
✔ The LDV advantage—how non-contact measurement outperforms accelerometers in accuracy, bandwidth, and setup time
✔ Efficiency through automation—integrating vibrometry into streamlined, high-throughput workflows
✔ The power of synergy—combining high-fidelity Polytec data with Signalysis pass/fail algorithms for instant decisions
✔ Quantifying ROI—reducing cycle times, eliminating manual handling, and improving overall test efficiency

If you are looking to remove bottlenecks, improve data integrity, and scale your production testing, this webinar will provide practical insights you can apply right away.

Because better data leads to better decisions—measure what matters.

Many teams know the advantages of optical roughness measurement—yet tactile systems still dominate the shop floor.
Why?
Because switching has often required a higher investment and added complexity.

That is exactly what we set out to change.

With the new Roughness Tester, we offer a compact entry-level solution based on Micro.View, currently available with up to 30% discount. The system is designed with a focus on the essential functions for reliable 3D roughness and texture analysis, without compromising measurement quality:

• Same high-precision sensor head as Micro.View
• ISO 25178 compliant (Sa, Sq, Sz)
• Non-contact: no wear, no surface influence
• Manual or semi-automated operation: easy to use

360° vibration measurements—fully automated! The new RoboVib® Bench Test Station simplifies experimental modal analysis by combining a motorized rotary table with a 3D Scanning Laser Vibrometer.

The test object rotates in defined angular steps while the vibrometer captures vibration data from every direction—creating a complete, high-resolution 3D vibration dataset without repositioning the sensor setup.

Your advantages at a glance:
• Automated 360° vibration measurements
• No manual repositioning of the measurement system
• Non-contact measurement—no mass loading or cabling
• Seamless integration into CAE-based modal analysis workflows with FE models and test geometries

A smarter way to perform experimental modal testing—faster, more precise, and fully automated.

A masterpiece can last for centuries—yet suffer serious damage during a single transport. Famous artworks travel the world to inspire people. But the journey itself can pose real risks.

During transport, vibrations act on the canvas and layers of paint for hours. Even the smallest oscillations can stress delicate structures—especially in priceless masterpieces like the paintings of Georgia O’Keeffe.

That is why conservators and researchers carefully study how artworks respond to these stresses.

Laser Doppler Vibrometers from Polytec make even the smallest movements visible—non-contact and with extreme precision. This allows experts to identify critical resonances and optimize transport solutions before a work of art begins its journey—helping ensure it arrives safely.

Because culture is one of a kind—measure what matters.

Measuring larger surfaces automatically—without moving to a large metrology system.

Polytec expands the TopMap Micro.View family with a new motorized XY positioning unit and tilt-and-tip platform—bringing automated surface and roughness measurement to a compact benchtop profiler.

Engineers can now measure roughness, texture, and microstructures across larger areas with high precision and minimal operator effort.

What makes the new system powerful:
• 100 mm motorized X-Y travel for automated area measurements
• True Stitching for reliable results beyond the field of view
• Smart automation features like Focus Finder, Focus Tracker, and automatic centering
• Objectives from 2.5X to 111X
• A unique 0.6X objective enabling large-area topography measurements up to 15.53 × 11.71 mm²

Ideal for fast inspection of larger precision components, 4″ wafers, microsystem arrays, and tray or multi-sample measurements.

Automate measurements. Inspect larger areas. Keep the footprint small.

Because performance pushes the limits—measure what matters.

In a Formula 1 engine, microscopic valve vibrations decide everything—power output, durability, and ultimately driver safety. At those extreme speeds, there’s only one way to know whether the valves are behaving exactly as intended: high-speed, non-contact laser vibrometry.

Polytec’s High-Speed Vibrometers capture valve dynamics with exceptional resolution, even under maximum load. The result? Teams get the data they need to safely unlock every bit of performance—no compromises, no guesswork.
