Cost Effective, High Speed Vibration Measurements

What costs less than 1/3 the price of an interferometer, has equal resolution and doesn’t mode hop??????? The MTI-2100 Fotonic sensor, of course! It features advanced fiber-optic and electronic technologies for precise measurements of displacement, position and vibration and sets new performance standards with resolution to 0.01 µin (2.5 Angstroms) and frequency response from direct-coupled (dc) to 500 kHz. The MTI-2100’s modular design has the flexibility to be tailored to specific requirements through the use of a wide range of interchangeable and custom fiber-optic probes that are immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and operate on almost any type of surface: metallic, composite, plastic, glass, ceramic or liquid.

BR(E)AKING NEWS!!!

Remember the old days? The souped up '69 Camaro with 3” lift kit, 4-barrel carburetor and supercharger? The bored out cylinders, shaved heads, cheater cam and a pair of fuzzy dice hanging from the rear view mirror? ......0-60 mph in 5 seconds? Aahhhh......we all remember the good times, but do you recall trying to stop without spilling your drink? The annoying vibration in the steering wheel and the pulsing of the brake pedal? Of course not......we only remember the good times.

Read on to learn how MTII’s capacitance sensors helped evolve brake rotor technology.

Application Tip: Sensor Probe Mounting

When trying to measure down to sub-micron resolution, ensure that the Fotonic or Accumeasure probe mounting or clamping is done as close to the probe tip as possible to minimize any effects of thermal expansion of the probe material. Mounting the sensor and part being measured on a granite table and the use of vibration isolators also help to reduce any exterior vibrational pick-up. Finally selecting the lowest possible bandwidth within the instrument will also further eliminate any noise and improve the resolution.

Here We Grow Again!

MTI Instruments is excited to announce an addition to the Accumeasure capacitance family. The Accumeasure MicroCap is an OEM capacitance system for high-precision non-contact measurements that offers sub-nanometer resolution, high stability and fast response time. The compact design utilizes MTII’s latest capacitance amplifier technology and makes it ideal for micro-positioning, thermal correction, focusing and closed loop control applications.

The MicroCap is designed for seamless integration into your existing and future products for long term monitoring, analysis and control. Contact MTII’s experienced Application Engineers, who will demonstrate how quickly and easily you can test and incorporate this precision measurement technology for far less then you thought possible.
