Optical & Non-Contact Measurements

Our optical and non-contact measurement capabilities facilitate dynamic and static measurements on a wide variety of test objects including special lightweight structures, well as fluids.

Service Overview

Our optical and non-contact measurement capabilities facilitate dynamic and static measurements on a wide variety of test objects including special lightweight structures, well as fluids. Combined with our modal testing and analysis capabilities, we can automate tests using our scanning laser vibrometers while our photogrammetry capabilities allow us to perform 3D full field strain and motion measurements. We also have four IDT Vision NX 8-S2 high speed cameras which allow us to do motion analysis at high frame rates.
