Laser RADAR Combines 3D Metrology With Vibration Analysis
Ommatidia LiDAR, an innovator in advanced 3D optical metrology and LiDAR systems recently launched its Q2 Laser RADAR.
The Q2 Laser RADAR redefines industrial measurement by integrating high-precision 3D metrology with advanced vibration analysis into a single, comprehensive tool. Its dual functionality, covering both static and dynamic measurements, replaces multiple instruments and streamlines workflows. With a range up to 50m and accuracy down to 20µm, the Q2 is optimized for large-scale applications, scanning complex surfaces at 25,600 points per second and simultaneously capturing real-time vibration data across 128 points for full structural insights.
Equipped with advanced Doppler vibrometry and speckle noise management, the Q2 achieves vibration measurements with high precision. Its noise reduction technologies enable accurate data collection in complex environments, outperforming traditional accelerometers or a single-point Laser Doppler Vibrometer in many tasks.
With its micro-scanning elevation feature, the Q2 captures fine surface details and can scan with high precision over large areas, something that laser trackers and hand-held scanners struggle to achieve in comparable timeframes.
The Q2’s ability to measure deflection, vibration, and 3D geometry in real time makes it a powerful tool for structural health monitoring in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and civil engineering. Unlike laser scanners and single-point Laser Vibrometers, the Q2 provides holistic insights into the structural performance and integrity of large assets.
The Q2 is fully compatible with Industry 4.0 systems, providing real-time data for automation, reporting, and monitoring. Its advanced connectivity and data output capabilities go beyond what traditional laser trackers and scanners offer, allowing for seamless integration into smart factories and inspection systems.
Key Advantages of the Q2 Laser RADAR include:
Parallel Measurement Capabilities: With its 64 parallel channels it provides a perfect balance between measurement speed, accuracy and reliability.
Autofocus for Precision: The Q2’s advanced autofocus system allows precise dimensional measurements over its entire distance range, reducing the need for manual adjustments and enhancing overall accuracy in complex settings.
Micro-Scanning for Enhanced Detail: With its new micro-scanning elevation system, the Q2 creates ultra-dense point clouds that can locate even the smallest features on target parts, ensuring more detailed and reliable data than typical metrology tools.
Dual Functionality: Combining 3D shape recovery and vibration monitoring capabilities, the Q2 addresses both static and dynamic requirements, providing critical insights into structural integrity and real-time performance monitoring.
External High-Speed Vibrometry Channel: The Q2 can handle high-speed vibration analysis, tracking movements at speeds up to 93m/s (335 km/h), making it particularly suitable for high-vibration industrial environments.
Improved Usability with RGB Camera: An integrated RGB camera simplifies scan programming and data visualization by coloring point clouds, which enhances usability and real-time monitoring capabilities.
Internal Low-Noise Accelerometer: The internal low-noise accelerometer helps detect environmental vibrations that could affect measurement performance, providing better compensation and ensuring high data accuracy in dynamic environments.
The advanced features make the Q2 a unique proposition, allowing users to seamlessly combine dimensional metrology with vibration analysis in one system eliminating the need for multiple devices, streamlining workflows and reducing setup times in critical industrial operations.
