Tensile, compression and bending tests, material characterization, collision and blast analysis, crack detection, fluid-structure interaction, fatigue analysis and defect detection beneath the surface are typical applications in industry and research. The two experienced experts in metrology LaVision and Polytec joined forces in the field of strain measurement systems. Polytec extends its product portfolio to the camera-based measurement system StrainMaster portable from LaVision and thus offers customers a perfect addition to its own fiber optic sensor systems for temperature and strain measurement. Polytec will present the StrainMaster portable system for the first time during the Sensor & Test trade fair in Nuremburg from May, 10th – 12th. Please visit Polytec at booth no. 310 in hall 5 to obtain comprehensive information about available techniques in the field of deformation analysis.
