Laser vibrometer measurements increase performance, improve time-to-market and lower costs for automotive product development. They are widely used both for structural dynamics measurements in R&D labs and for quality control in production processes. Automotive engineers favor test equipment that is easy to set up and operate, and that can exchange data with existing CAE hardware and software. High-precision 3-D profilometers help to monitor critical parts with regard to form deviations and surface parameters.
