Type 8338

Industrial Laser Doppler Vibrometer Type 8338 specifications have been designed and optimised for general Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) applications.

The high velocity capability makes it an extremely versatile multipurpose laser-based vibration transducer, covering the vast majority of laser vibrometry applications:

• Industrial Applications: Vibration testing on car bodies and panels, automotive components, engines, hot exhaust or braking systems. Predictive maintenance and condition monitoring on rotating machinery
• Research Applications: Vibration analysis of models under investigation within a wind tunnel, transducer design, field vibration testing, general non-contact vibrometry
• Nuclear Applications: Vibration testing in a contaminated environment measured at a long distance
• Telecommunication Applications: Analysis of vibration by wind load of parabolic antennas on towers 
• Civil Engineering Applications: Vibration testing on buildings, bridges, platforms, windmills, electricity pylons
• Consumer Products Applications: loudspeaker testing, household appliances (washing machines, television tubes and screens, vacuum cleaners), power tools, computer parts (CD-ROM drives and hard disk)
• Environmental Applications: analysis of sound absorption materials
