SMART Scan+ - Optomet

Product Description

The Optomet SMART Scan+ is a scanning laser Doppler vibrometer that brings a complete vibration laboratory into a single compact device. It integrates a scanning laser Doppler vibrometer, a data acquisition box and an arbitrary signal generator, enabling researchers and developers to measure vibrations not just at a single point but across an entire surface with high precision.

Using the Doppler principle, the SMART Scan+ automatically scans a defined grid of measurement points and captures velocity, displacement and acceleration at each one, entirely without contact. The result is full-field analysis that visualises operational deflection shapes, wave propagation and eigenmodes for applications such as FEM model validation, vibration characterisation and modal parameter determination.

The instrument covers a frequency bandwidth from DC to 50 MHz and velocities up to 50 m/s, with a measurement (SWIR) laser at 1550 nm and a visible target laser for alignment. A 7-inch Full HD+ touchscreen, intuitive SMART Lab software and extensive connectivity make configuration and analysis straightforward, while the modular SMART Series architecture lets the system synchronise with other SMART devices and expand toward 3D scanning measurements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SMART Scan+ and what does it measure?
The SMART Scan+ is a scanning laser Doppler vibrometer that combines a data acquisition box and an arbitrary signal generator in one compact instrument. It measures velocity, displacement and acceleration non-contact across an entire surface, automatically scanning a defined grid of points to visualise operational deflection shapes, wave propagation and eigenmodes.
What frequency and velocity ranges does the SMART Scan+ cover?
The SMART Scan+ offers a maximum frequency bandwidth from DC to 50 MHz and a velocity measurement range from 1 mm/s up to 50 m/s. Displacement is measurable from 10 nm to 100 m and acceleration from 10 m/s² to 100 Mio. m/s², all handled by digital FPGA-based signal processing.
Why use non-contact laser vibrometry instead of accelerometers?
Because the SMART Scan+ measures optically, it adds no mass to the test object and requires no surface preparation or wiring. This makes it ideal for lightweight, sensitive, hot or moving surfaces, and for high scan-point densities (up to 512 x 512 points) that would be impractical with mounted sensors.
What applications is the SMART Scan+ designed for?
Typical uses include FEM model validation, the characterisation of vibration processes and the determination of modal parameters, as well as acoustics and ultrasonics work and materials research. It is widely applied in automotive and aerospace component testing such as bodies, wings and drive systems.
Can the system be expanded or used with other devices?
Yes. The SMART Scan+ is part of Optomet's modular SMART Series and synchronises seamlessly with other SMART devices. An additional fiber head can be connected for contactless reference measurements, and the platform can be expanded into a full vibration characterisation system, including upgrades toward 3D scanning.
What measurement distances and optics are available?
Standard variable working distance ranges from 250 mm to 100 m. With the optional Coaxial Unit this becomes 111 mm to 1 m, and with the Close-Up Unit measurements down to below 6.5 mm to 54 mm are possible. A 100 mm Long-Range lens and a 4K camera with 20x optical zoom support precise targeting.
