The benefits of a vibration testing program are well known, but far too many plants choose to avoid vibration testing because of the perceived complexity. In a predictive maintenance program, both frequency spectrum analysis and overall vibration analysis should be used to identify machinery flaws early so that corrective action can be taken prior to machine failure.

The precise and accurate measurement of part features such as edges requires collimated light, careful placement of the part, a telecentric lens, calibration and perhaps optical distortion correction, and computation by the vision system’s computer.

Pickering supplied a switching system to collect analog data at speeds involving "10’s of MHz" of bandwidth and a size of up to 104x16. The system uses LXI communications.

Lighting Science uses the HandHeld laser scanner from NVision to ensure the dimensional integrity of the extremely complicated castings it purchases and uses in its roadway light emitting diode (LED) fixtures.

EnerG2, a company developing nanostructured carbons for energy storage, is using a Mastersizer 3000 laser diffraction particle size analyzer from Malvern Instruments to measure and characterize its high performance products.
