Optical Measurement Methods

Videostroboscopy

Visualize vibrations and high-speed motion in real time.

Analyze vibrations, resonances, and motion sequences with maximum precision – completely non-contact and suitable for applications ranging from laboratory research to industrial environments.

Principle of stroboscopic observation

The basic principle of stroboscopy is the observation of fast-moving objects using pulsed (stroboscopic) illumination. By synchronizing the light pulses with the object’s motion, the movement can be viewed in apparent slow motion or even appear stationary. This makes it possible to observe and record an object’s shape, deformation, and dynamic behavior.

In videostroboscopy, a camera captures the illuminated object, enabling measurements even in confined or hard-to-reach areas. Alternatively, when a camera with sufficiently short exposure times is used, continuous illumination can provide sharp images of fast-moving objects without the need for stroboscopic lighting.

Why Videostroboscopy?

Non-Contact Measurement
Measurements without influencing the object under test.
Real-Time Visualization

Visualize high-speed motion as it happens.

High-Precision Detection

Capture even the smallest vibrations with exceptional accuracy.

Field-Ready Operation

Ready for immediate deployment in the field.

Videostroboscopy in Practice

This example demonstrates the motion of the vehicle’s front. Videostroboscopy makes otherwise invisible movements visible, enabling fast, non-contact analysis of structural motion and dynamic behavior.
