Vibration Analysis with WaveCam Optical flow based time and frequency ODS Our vibration analysis solution WaveCam is the perfect tool for non-contact and high-resolution vibration measurement for experts and beginners in the time and frequency domain. To get started, all you need is a camera and our software to process the data. Save the time to set up individual sensors, or measurement locations. A frequency ODS can be performed with a single excitation in a wide range frequency range. The dispensation of consecutive excitation for different measurement positions saves measurement and test bench time respectively. Highspeed cameras Chronos 1.4 and 2.1 with WaveCam software by gfai tech BENEFITS Use any camera to capture vibration data incl. phones Save setup-, measurement time and equipment cost Quick to learn, intuitive handling, easy configuration Intuitive execution and analysis of measurements Analyse data in time and frequency domain Vibration measurements during operation with subpixel-precision measurement resolution No preparation of the measured surface necessary Export deflection shapes in video Improved optical flow and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms Depending on the frame rate of your camera, a minimum frame rate FPS = 2 x fmax is required to capture the highest frequency of interest fmax. For maximum flexibility we recommend employing a Chronos highspeed camera exceeding 1000 fps. Vibration displacements < 0.1 µm are captured. Every single pixel serves as an individual sensor allowing you to measure hundreds of thousands of positions simultaneously. Time waveforms and frequency data can be extracted for individual positions. Results were cross-validated with conventional methods namely laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV), accelerometer as well as acoustic holography. Display deflection shapes of structures during operation, manual, ambient or automated excitation e.g. using the WaveHitMAX as well as transient events. Various options to display the data, facilitate interpretation and export vivid and conclusive results.
