Designation

The vibrometer is designed for non-contact measurements of the vibration amplitude in metallic surfaces. They can be tools and machinery parts as well as ultrasonic sensors.

The device can be used for non-contact measurements of linear displacements in metal products, for controlling the part sizes, and estimating the part deviations from the specified sizes.

Application

Ultrasonic engineering, machine tool building, mechanical engineering, power engineering.

Modifications to the device for different frequency ranges can be done.

The specifications of a vibrometer used to measure fluctuations in the ultrasonic frequency range are given here as an example.

Within the operating range of gaps between the sensor and the vibrating surface the indications are independent of the size of the gap. The built-in gap indicator ensures precise setting and control of the gap.

Operation conditions

Operation principle

The system operation is based on recording the capacitance variations of the gap between the fixed electrode of the sensor and the surface, the vibration amplitude of which must be measured.

The gap capacitance vibrations are converted into an electric signal. This signal is indicative for evaluation of the mechanical vibration amplitude for the surface under test. The amplitude is calculated automatically by the software tools in real time.

The vibrometer incorporates an automatic compensation mechanism for sensitivity variations caused by the changing gap width. This compensation mechanism ensures the specified measurement accuracy within the operating gap range.

In order to reduce the measurement error resulting from the temperature and time instability of the measurement circuit parameter, there is a balancing option, embedded into the vibrometer. During balancing the parameters of the measurement circuit are automatically fine-tuned to the sensor’s own capacitance.

In the static mode the regular verification of the vibrometer is done by measuring the sensor specified linear displacements in relation to the fixed electrode. In this mode the system can also be used as a non-contact linear displacement measuring unit within the range of 0 …… 1000 µm.
