Product catalog summary
Overview: The IVS-500 Industrial Vibration Sensor is designed for fast vibro-acoustic quality inspection and structure-borne noise analysis. It offers reliable pass-fail decisions in demanding industrial environments without contact, optimizing costs and yields by reducing false rejects.
Key Features:
  • Non-contact vibro-acoustic quality inspection with laser precision.
  • Reliable pass/fail decisions based on repeatable vibration measurement.
  • Flexible working distances with auto and remote focus.
  • Robust, wear-free sensor technology.
  • Easy integration and setup.
  • Vibration output as velocity, displacement, and acceleration data.
  • Signal output available in analog and optionally digital formats.
  • Complete automation solution with optional SonicTC QuickCheck software.
Technology: The sensor uses laser Doppler vibrometry, where a light beam reflected by a moving object experiences a frequency shift proportional to its velocity. This shift is transformed into a voltage signal for processing, independent of the light's intensity, making it effective even on low reflectivity surfaces.
Advantages:
  • Cost-effective and flexible quality control without the need for flat metal surfaces.
  • Large and flexible stand-off distance reduces the need for costly fixtures.
  • Insensitive to ambient noise, eliminating the need for sound insulation cabins.
  • Reduces false rejects by providing precise and repeatable measurements.
  • Delivers high fidelity measurement data with a signal strength value indicating reading validity.
Applications: The IVS-500 is suitable for various fields including automotive (combustion engines, electric drives), appliances (pumps, compressors), consumer electronics (fan drives, loudspeakers), medical technology (inhalation systems), and industrial applications (solar cells, material property determination).
Integration and Accessories: The IVS-500 is compact with integrated decoding electronics, offering models for different frequency and velocity ranges. It features analog and digital outputs compatible with standard data acquisition systems. Accessories include optics, wiring, alignment tools, and protective equipment.
Software: The SonicTC QuickCheck software complements the IVS-500, providing a flexible evaluation tool for acoustic and vibration measurements in industrial quality inspections, supporting both fully and semi-automatic process monitoring.

Non-contact laser testing at production level Vibro-acoustic quality control is a versatile, non-destructive procedure to assess the quality and reliability of products and manufacturing processes. It also can give deeper insights into a possible malfunction or out-of-spec material properties of the sample. For example, during 100% end-of-line cold-tests of combustion engines, acoustic signatures can reveal damaged or wrongly mounted components like bearings, cams or pinions, or problems in ancillary components. Furthermore, vibration measurement in quality control is used to detect cracks or...
