01
Optomet Dual Fiber Technology for optimal signal quality
Optomet Dual Fiber Technology ensures outstanding signal quality and maximum flexibility. Separate fiber paths for transmitting and receiving signals effectively minimize unwanted reflections and ensure reliable signal transmission. Thanks to its modular architecture, different Fiber Heads—such as those with fixed focus, autofocus, or for 3D vibration measurements—can be exchanged quickly and easily. This allows the system to adapt flexibly to a wide range of measurement tasks without compromising precision or performance.
02
Up to four simultaneous measurements
By integrating up to four interferometers into a single device, SMART Multi-Fiber enables synchronized vibration measurements across up to four channels. Multiple Fiber Heads acquire measurement data simultaneously and in real time—ideal for precisely analyzing complex vibration and motion patterns from different perspectives.
03
Precise synchronization and unlimited scalability for complex measurement tasks
SMART Multi-Fiber offers virtually unlimited expansion by networking multiple devices via a single Ethernet cable. All systems are synchronized and connected directly to a computer for data acquisition and analysis. This innovative architecture enables simultaneous measurements at an unlimited number of points, perfectly synchronized with sub-nanosecond accuracy. With its unrivaled scalability and precision, SMART Multi-Fiber is the ideal solution for demanding measurement tasks requiring comprehensive, detailed analysis.
