Displacement Measurement
Types of Displacement Measurement Run-Out/Vibration There are many ways to measure run-out/vibration including the type of measurement system, run-out or vibration (direction), and environment where the system is being installed. Choosing the wrong kind of equipment can lead to drastic consequences. You can run into issues such as increased man-hours during production and issues with insufficient precision. Example Applications Run-out measurement of HDD surface Laser displacement sensors are very helpful in measuring the oscillation at a single point on a specific target’s exterior. The further away that vibration amplitude is from the center of rotation from a target, [...]

Inline Offline Measurement
Inline/Offline Measurement Inline and offline measurements refer to two different types of measurements. Inline Measurements are commonly referred to as automatic measurements made during a process . Offline measurements, on the other hand, are often referred to as manual measurements. The difference between the two occurs during the measurement process (line). If the measurements are included in the line then the process is considered “inline”. If it’s separate from the line then it’s considered “offline”. For off line measurements products are removed from production , inspected and returned to production ,discarded or saved as inspection samples Inline Measurement An [...]
Charge Amplifiers
Charge Amplifiers CA1800: Rack-mount Multiple Channel Charge Amplifier View Product 41CA: Dual Channel Rugged Charge Amplifier View Product 55CA: Single Channel Rugged Charge Amplifier View Product View Technology Principles Charge amplifiers have become an indispensable tool in diverse industries looking to emphasize precision accuracy in their performance. These electronic current integrators produce a voltage output proportional to the integrated value of the input current, making them ideal for amplifying signals from piezoelectric sensors. At MTI Instruments, we have harnessed and refined this power, creating a [...]
Fiber Optic Systems
Fiber Optic MTI 2100 Fotonic Sensor View Product Fotonic Plug-in Module View Product MTI Instruments offers large measurement range and standoff distance fiber-optic measurement sensors and probes that provide ultra-sensitive linear output response. Our modular (interchangeable) non-contact fiber optic sensors systems have dual channel that enables the user to make simultaneous measurements. Our fiber optic probes are designed to automatically compensate large changes in reflectivity making it possible to monitor dynamic reflectance of up to 100:1 making it ideal for measuring vibration of ultrasonic horns, modal analysis of disk drive suspension, [...]
Diagnostic Equipment
1510A Portable Signal Generator and Calibrator View Product MTI’s 1510A portable signal generator is ideal for testing the integrity of sensor signal conditioning electronics. Encased in a rugged shell, this battery operated function generator can be used in the field to simulate sensor signals. It simulates eddy current, accelerometer, strain gauge and other types of pulse, sinusoidal, triangle, or digital pulse trains. The sweep function tests the frequency response of the subsequent signal conditioning devices. Its highly accurate DC output can be used to calibrate electronic amplifiers’ gain settings such as strain gauge amplifiers. Its portability and features are [...]
